[QUOTE="wp_rathead, post: 615995, member: 70559"] I refuse to blame Clancy for Leinster's win - they were the much better team than us in second half (when we once again didn't register a score) Heaslip was immense for Leinster - but I have no doubt he should have been binned. Had Parks had the ball and Heaslip did what he did (ie No attempt to use arms in tackle) he prob would have been binned- don't understand why fact it was late was only a pen.. Also, how the tmo allowed the try at the end was rather baffling, but I'm sure Munster fans be saying we got away with it last week in Thomond at the death so swing and roundabouts.. Leader missed two kicks at goal, Carty missed difficult conversion- but I was most frustrated with the one Parks missed - he should have nailed that.. If he was still groggy from the late tackle then give it to Leader.. Bench made a massive impact for Leinster in this game. McCarthy was immense when he came on for second half, did 3 excellent choke tackles. Gopperth had much more of an impact than Madigan in the game when he came on.. For Connacht, thought Robbie Henshaw was fantastic- kept O'Driscoll quiet and left D-Kearney for dead with the try. Leader and Carty had very solid debuts- exciting prospects. I'd give Carty the start next week again vs Zebre.. In the pack, Browne, Kearney, Clarke, Muldoon and JHW played like men demented.. Like last week, was rather dissapointed with McKeon - he didn't do much wrong but he is much better than he performed tonight.. Griffin aswell wasn't great, but he is a 13 not a 12.. Gutted we didn't get atleast a LBP in that game, these moral victories are no good now that we are bottom of the table.. __________________ [/QUOTE]
