European Champions Cup 2017/18: Pool 3

[Jockstap]

Anybody else hold their breadth when McFadden gets the ball, to be fair he's done like 2 good things in a row so far which is a nice surprise. What's the story with Barry Daly?

Beating Exeter at their own game.

Leinster out exetering exeter

The difference between these two sides. One doesn't knock on constantly.

Slade has been laughable.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Bloody hell to think England got accused of being boring, Leinster are just pick smash pick smash pick smash

Don't put words in my mouth. I would never deliberately misquote you...

The 51 tries in 13 games would suggest intelligent rather than boring.

Isn't that exeter game plan on the whole aswell?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Don't give the bp Ster. Let's have this group wrapped up by Christmas.

Hey when no English team have won a game this round you have to look for those small moral victories don't you.
Exeter have done exactly the same and they're the home team.

 

[TommiG88]

Leinster have been good, but Exeter have let themselves down. Dropping so much ball under no pressure. It's cost them so much possession.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Er they did cover it, just a bit illegally.

They didnt cover it. There was only one leinster player there who could tackle him and he was the one who committed the penalty.

 

[Groundhog]

Good win. Intelligent selection from Leinster and they suited their gameplan to Exeter well. Exeter did indeed let themselves down with some crap catches. Teams who play that poorly under the high ball will seriously struggle with Leinster.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Oi oi.

Win the home games and hope/expect Montpellier are dust come Round 6 and we should be sound for a home route to Bilbao.

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

Leinster by far the better team. Thought McFadden and Toner were outstanding.

 

[Jockstap]

They didnt cover it. There was only one leinster player there who could tackle him and he was the one who committed the penalty.

Kearney smashed Exeter's second to last man and Cronin smashed Nowell. Both Exeter players were covered by Leinster players, so no penalty try.

Leinster by far the better team. Thought McFadden and Toner were outstanding.

Absolutely, best carrying performance I've ever seen from Toner.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

A sad weekend for English Rugby and therefore the world.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Great win for Leinster, win next week and then a hopefully disinterested Glasgow at home in January and we should have the home quarter and possibly semi wrapped up without needing to win in France. Poite had a terrible game but probably balanced out in the end. Best Leinster team since the Schmidt era in any case.

Leinster out exetering exeter

Your not wrong, strong defence from exeter but they played our own game and was deserving winners today.

Damn though how many handling errors off high balls from exeter. So frustrating.
