[QUOTE="shtove, post: 220777"] Good game. Earls has pace, swerve, passing - but he's not a full back yet: weak under good high kicks, but Sexton forgot to test him in the second half. O'Leary was poorish, and Whittaker did better than usual. ROG had a problem off his left hand - a lot of long passes fell short and bounced in to the receivers' hands. Guess it had something to do with the elbow strapping. His kicking was almost perfect, and the dink through for the last try was out of habit. Big disapppointment was the anonymous Leinster midfield in attack. BOD could have had a score, but he forgot that you have to expect Fitzgerald to offload in even the tightest smother tackle - the ball bounced off his gut and he ended up with a lemon-sucking look on his face. The replacements seemed to make the difference. I dunno - I kind of lost concentration in the last quarter because we were watching on a 15 min delay and the uber-Munster supporter next to me kept receiving texts and dropping heavy hints about the result. Ref was good. Both teams will improve, but Munster more than Leinster. Guys, you still haven't brought a pack for 80 mins! [/QUOTE]
