HEC: Montpellier - Leinster (12-11-2011)

[profitius]

Gorgodze, Ouedraogo and Martin really outplayed a back row with O'Brien and Heaslip and as Olyy says Gorgodze made O'Brien look like O'Gara

Gorgodze was going backwards more than he was going forwards. I don't know how he got the MOTM.

 

[King_D'Arcy]

Leinster were SO shite!
What happened to the pack of last season that got to the breakdown at lightning pace to retain possession? What happened to our immovable defence? What happened to our skillful backline?
I think kearney should be on the bench and we should have a back 3 of Fitz, Carr/Horgan and Nacewa. Kearney's a good fullback but the fact of the matter is his non-passing, skillless style of counter attacking doesn't suit Leinster's way of playing. The amount of times the ball was kicked to him today and he just ran into the tackle rather than distributing to his wingers was embarrassing.

In fairness to Leinster their pack will struggle for a few weeks because those guys surely are burnt out from World Cup and need to charge up batteries again

I can only assume that you were watching a different match - he was immense and always made the hard yards

He was a beast yesterday

Gorgodze beasted SOB yesterday, if you're doing a head to head. Both should never ever be wearing 7 though.

Ireland last played on the 8th October, how much rest do they need

I'm just going to point out that D'Arcy really needs to be dropped he has been sh*t for 2 years now.

this run alone (watch video) deserves man of the match



regarding D'Arcy I certainly agree, if I were the opposition I would much rather face D'Arcy than McFadden

 

[munster4life]

SOB had his worst game for Leinster in a good while.

Add in travelling and well that World Cup was a physical battle and well these lads train as well as play matches so they need rest periods all through season to stay fresh
