Wasps v Leinster

[Sir Speedy]

Fitzgerald's been smashed on his arse by Sackey twice now...
Poor defence from Leinster.

Contempomi misses a kick - bouncing off the post. Un autre carton jaune - pour Serge Betsen.

And Felipe (I'M CALLING HIM THIS FROM NOW ON SINCE NOBODY WILL TELL ME IF I'M SPELLING HIS NAME RIGHT :cryy: ) slots over the penalty. 13 - 6.

 

[An Tarbh]

well if Kearney's offence, if you want to call it an offence, was a yellow than definitely a card for Betsen. Phew he gets the kick as well.

 

[Sir Speedy]

O'Kelly stamped Vickery on the head. Yellow card. Very lucky not to get the red there, given this referees cluelessness in penalising professional fouls.

 

[monkeypigeon]

Sackey vs Fitzgerald is dantastic so far.

 

[An Tarbh]

well it's justice as far as the Kearney decision goes.

 

[monkeypigeon]

Rhis will suit Leinster, Extra Backrow and uncontested scrums. Shame really, but it suits Leinster.

 

[An Tarbh]

Worseley high on Nacewa, considering the card happy nature of Berdos he did well not to get one.

 

[An Tarbh]

How Leinster are only 4 points down is beyond me but Jesus we're miraculously still in this one.

 

[shazbooger]

Thought that penalty was harsh myself. Nacewa went in low, wasnt nasty. Anyway I'll take the 13-9 halftime score.

 

[Vambo]

The ref is hilarious. Both sides benefitting and suffering from him :lol:

Personally I thought Betson deserved yellow but O'Kelly should definitely have received a red the dirty barsteward. The 'high' tackle penalty against Wurzel was very harsh I thought.

Vickery is beginning to put serious claims on the Lion shirt as far as I'm concerned. Uncontested scrums will hurt Wasps somewhat ironically.

 

[MunsterMan]

Felipe - Should have gotten Yellow
Kearney - Not even a penalty - ridiculous
Betsen - A definite Yellow
O'Kelly - Should have been red.

Let's see if Leinster can get something out of this, a losing bp should see them through.

 

[shazbooger]

Whitiker! Sweet jesus you only see it when we get ball but f*** me he takes an age to move the ball.

 

[An Tarbh]

I've been banging on about that like a stuck record for an age, heard an interesting rumour that Stringer may be coming to Leinster although I don't see it happening personally.

 

[An Tarbh]

yeah that was a straight throw.

 

[monkeypigeon]

You know, I honsetly think the biggest complaint you can have about Cheika is that he insists on playing his best buddy Whitiker.

 

[monkeypigeon]

Cipriani is some twat. Did he actualy try to that or did he drop the ball and think 'ah ****, make it look like I did that on purpose'.

 

[An Tarbh]

Not sure why Walder took that penalty in the end, it could well have cost Wasps a place in the quarter finals.

 

[Sir Speedy]

It probably has aswell, unless Leinster balls up against their bogey team from seasons past.

 

[shazbooger]

Well holy f*** that was tense. Compelling viewing but only because both teams were clueless in attack and insisted on playing a kicking game badly.

What Wasps were thinking of in the end kicking that penalty I have no idea. Surely they had to deny Leinster the bonus point, or at least try to.

Great spectacle, dreadful game.
