Leinster 15/16

[for dog and ulcer]

Not sure which of these was worst:

Leighton Hodges

Welsh commentary

Leinster inability to finish

Actually Hodges was.

[Cap'n Grumpy]

I actually think Hodges is okay as a ref but he bottled a couple of decisions tonight ...... said with the disclaimer that I didn't see all of the match.

Quite a humping of Leinster by Wasps. Half the team are looking past it.

Was at the match. Leinster brutal, so bad. If they had played like that under the previous head coach there would have been uproar.

Sexton put in a performance that Jackson would have been hung, drawn and quartered for if it were him. Awful.

Jordi Murphy, again the only thing he wrecked today was his hair.

[Aird]

IT will be interesting to se how the Southern Media deal with this game, especially considering the criticism of the " Nordies" decision to wait for a year together Les Kias and our signing Charlie Boy as Full back/ centre for next year.
Saw the comment on the Leinster Web " Come back MOC all is forgiven" nearly as fickle as some on this site.

That is beyond a standard humping

I was thinking that myself. They looked like they had one monumental world cup hangover.

Didn't see the game but what a result. Leinster do tend to start seasons a little sluggish so will be interesting to see how they recover. Looks like all three provinces need an injection of quality.

Watched with interest. Leinster's passing was beyond awful in the first half, shoulder height or higher, not one in the bread basket.

Poor coaching

I'm looking forward to the Leinster v Ulster game with slightly less apprehension than usual.
Still plan to get tanked up in Weatherspoons (FortyFoot), Dun Laoghaire beforehand though to help calm the nerves.

Unless they swap that weekend for the Oyonnax away match

[Setanta]

A once-off; I do not think Leinster will ever play that badly again! Very annoying to hear the entire BT crew saying Wasps MUST keep Piutau at any cost, not just once but on at least six occasions. He looks a very good buy.

[BaggyTrousers]

I would councel against too much sneering at the Mexican performance, at least until we play on Friday. I'm officially concerned. England's early exit from the RWC appears to have their clubs sharp and ready, though thankfully Ospreys got it together in the 2nd half to see off Exeter.

[BuckRogers]

I wouldn't so much sneer at the Mexicans as suggest that they are nowhere near as good as people here continue to give them credit as being.

I mentioned a week or two ago that Mexico don't concern me anywhere near as much as they once did.

Sexton is the only player that would get in our starting back line. That is based on Jared starting ahead of Kearney Snr at Fullback of course.

Up front they have two better LH's than us and probably three better TH's. They have better back row depth than we do but I would fancy an Ulster back row with a fit Hendo and Henry to give even Leinsters first choice back row a run for its money. Their locks are terrible. McCarthy is a bag of dung and Triggs looks like a hippy who'd be more at home on the beach with a surf board and a spliff. Toner is still decent but has literally nobody to play beside him. Lewis Stevenson would be close to getting a starting call currently for my money. Cronin and Strauss both inferior players in comparison to Best and Herring.
