Losses as in injuries or as in financial losses? I'm surprised that there is a move towards less game time, given the URC is already much less games.

Niall Scannell is having a mare here. Great game though! Beirne, O'Mahoney, Aherne, Casey all looking good IMO

Yeah we looked sloppy and it definitely could have been tighter. Our lineout was shocking, and our fielding of high balls equally as bad. Whenever we actually ran through some phases we seemed to cut them open, one of the rare games where kicking it usually seemed the wrong option for us.

Add O’Mahoney to that list!

I think it’s decided by head to head in case of a draw

Big question mark for me is that the lineout still looks shaky. O'Connell obviously has a lot of trust built up but he needs to sort it ASAP

Seatbelt tackles are legal now, on the Hansen point.

I would drop zammit for that non tackle on Danty. He’s a big man but you have to at least try

There's a reason that forward passes are done on the way the hands face though. That pass to me doesn't look forward, momentum brings it forward.

Big weekend for Leinster. With a tough away win to Ospreys, and Stormers losing to Glasgow, it looks like we'll be able to send the kids down to SA again at the end of the season.

Terrible angles shown in those highlights in fairness to you. It was clear in the ones they showed live

You think Ulster will win?

This seems silly, why shouldn't more guys get a chance? Especially with the amount of injuries and head collisions in modern rugby. Rotation seems like the best way to ensure player welfare

Jesus Porter has turned this around

Can’t think of a better performance from Leinster ever (Saracens 2018?)

That game cured my hangover

If you look at the teams who have been penalised the most in the competition, there's three irish sides in the top 5. Also Leinster were penalised more than Leicester yesterday, so not sure it's fair to say the ref was one-sided.

I will be in attendance and can confirm that I’m very boring

I think from an Irish perspective the hope would be that the second tier would have Irish “A” teams. Compared to the old pro14 the URC has a few less matches. Irish teams have had to trim their squads in response which will probably be bad for future development of players. Could have a knock on...

Agreed here. Also frustrating looking at watching games as a neutral and thinking that most of them are going to be a hammering.
