Leinster on the board after 8 minutes through O'Brien
Hiya Moz!
Leinster on the board after 8 minutes through O'Brien
Hiya Moz!
Leinster score after an overlap finally exposes some determined French defence.
Almost a great finish by Woki to hit back
Pity about the last pass
FFS, I thought they started at 4pm. Stupid European quarter hour starts. Lucu scores.
France right back with an almost incredible almost incredible try by Woki sadly his left hand brushed the sideline.
And they score deservedly after a series of penalties
Bad mistake from Byrne putting the kickoff dead.
Afternoon lads.
and now Bordeaux score on the back of some poor pillar defence by Leinster
7-7
This is gonna be quite a game
Hiya Pakie
Hollie running touch. Haven't touched me in while.
Beep beep doing his best Crappies impression hah
FYI Crappies had bicep surgery and will be out for at least 6 months...thank heavens for the form Emborse is in
Bordeaux score again …Leinster losing defensive shape
Too easy for Bordeaux there.
Leinster need to slow this down a bit.
No wonder Loane isn't in favour at the ABs any longer
Hydration break. Is it warm over there?
Hi chaps, I’m on a cruise ship, not sure how long my feed will hold….but good action so far.
The field is in perfect condition.
Lovely shot of the stadium and turf there
Enjoy Moz!!!
Order some room service on us
Lekker Moz.
Le Beep with a good take. Jellybear always keen to run it. Borries setting the pace.
Bordeaux looking good, yet again. Man these guys play exactly the rugby I like...even though they're French
Bordeaux playing some brilliant rugby….Biarret dodges through. Leinster better get hold of the ball
Great ball over the top wide by Jellybear, Borries one stretch short of the line. And Le Beep in with a few steps as they swing it wide.
See, Lions, you don't need to kick to beat this defense FFS.
Beeps with very Arendse looking finish.
Leinster haven't looked in this game since I switch on at the 7 minute mark
I've noticed how often the commentators mention Jason Robinso.
A good few games now where his name has come up.
Leinster now with a good sequence downfield. The cross kick wasn't needed, they should have kept building. Penalty anyway.
Jason Robinson the England 15 of way back?
Why are Leinster clearing from the rucks this slowly? Like there is no urgency.
...and they knock it
The old Irish habit of charging the ramparts results in a handling error.
Excellent French exit.
Yes, that Robinson. A proper chunky back with some pace. They're always talking about him
He was a great player to watch.
Gazzotti is a proper menace. Jelly with the 5022.
Disaster for Leinster…very lucky bounce for France
lol Leinster looking at a hammering here as BeepBop looks like he's scored another.
Borries error works in their favour as Jelly's kick rebounds, clumsily booted through, the bounce finds Penaud who feeds Le Beep for the finish. Le Beeps looks much more on form today.
I hope the Lions is watching this. If they do their kicking shit again against Leinster next week I'm washing my hands of them.
Tommy boots it straight to Borries. Same shit the Lions did.
And an intercept for Borries by Moefana. Oh dear.
Half time and Leinster have very little chance of winning this...as an intercept put Bordies 28 points ahead!
Absolutely demolished in the first half
35-7 Bordeaux
Massive mistake after time was up….Moefana applying lots of pressure at 12, this time it pays off
Leinster just getting too telegraphed with the short flat passes.
Have some family coming over so won't be able to check the second half.
Game is basically over anyway.
See ya, chaps
Cheers Plum.
Cheers Plummie.
Was that really a yellow card for a scrag around the collar? Just arrived so I missed the context.
Rieko slicing Borries open to get his team back to the 22.
McCarthy over.
Not great discipline by Borries in that sequence.
I actually missed the card as well….but when your hair is 4 inches below the collar the chances are good,
Ryan lying all over that ball preventing access and Leinster gets the scrum. Amazing.
The gap was too big for the pass?
Leinster man over wide and they come back inside. Not smart.
The gap was too big for the pass?
Lots of newfangled concepts in this game, apparently.
Jellybear Du Pont feeding the scrum.
Another intercept, this time saving Borries from a possible try. Pity Le Beep was across on the other side in cover and not wide left, big trouble then.
O Brien the gift that keeps giving
Woki off with an injury that has him looking a bit despairing.
Lucu back on. Borries kept their shape well all considered, Leinster blew a big chance on the overlap right though.
Frawley with an immediate impact as he scythes through a gap. Borries turns it over though and clears.
Nice hit on Rieko by Le Beep. Borries playing a bit of a territory game now.
Pinpoint kicks coming down just outside the 22.
So off the head backwards is a knock on? Oh he's corrected himself now. Thought so.
Not sure Lucu isn’t more effective than DuPont at the moment
Anton hasn't been in good form for a while.
Agreed…smart ofBordeaux to take the points there
Bochaton this time busting the gain line. Penalty Borries. Pretty innocuous high shot by Ryan on the reflex, nothing in it really.
But if any c u next tuesday deserves a penalty for nothing, it's Ryan.
Big Ben over the ball again for the turnover as the Leinster attack started stalling.
Lovely delayed pass from Jelly to put Rayasi into the gap, perhaps he should have looked for the pass wide.
Big loud crowd….all France needs is a WC.
Lucu from inside his own half with the 3, 41-12.
Ioane ain’t much these days
Yeah Borries just strangling them now with the territory game and milking a few penalties, nothing fancy.
Rieko caught a bit of form with Leinster, he was nowhere for the ABs. No idea why they stuck with him so long. For a 29 year old he looks like someone at the end of his career.
Lucu in with the steal but someone else is penalized. Leinster still probing.
Another bs TMO interference Pakie…good call by the ref
Egh, probably a card for that tip tackle coming. Not much in it.
Yeah that's good on the ref.
The full team maul by Leinster leaves them without numbers wide and they have to do the cross. Frawley overcooks it.
Jelly off after another marshalling performance.
Big tackle Penaud, show stopper, but offside.
Leinster over from the tap. Dropped conversion, 41-19
Good Leinster try…Henshaw has been solid for many years.
Four scores in 9 minutes, go boykies.
Ryan loitering, Borries go for the lineout 5.
Give Le Beep a little cross, go on. Meh, they concede a penalty.
Ridley calls for a TMO check. Bit of a clean on Ryan lying where he shouldn't again. It's Ryan, let it slide.
Idiotic bull charge by Frog 17…not that it matters much
Nah, yellow. Worth it.
Yes if anybody deserves some come back it’sRyan
Leinster miss touch from the penalty.
Great steal by Vannie Flier on Le Beep being used as a battering ram for who knows why. Leinster on the line.
Moronic rugby from the Irish….they needed a quick try, not a long phase build up.
Magnificent anticipation by Moefana. Intercept on the line.
Yeah just got too slow.
Same again…dumb.
Frawley just needed to let that go by hook or crook, two guys around him in support to grab it with an open tryline.
Borries idling to victory here, barely even trying in the second.
Lucu has been superb. One last penalty to Leinster. Lineout 5.
Thanks for the company Pakie …Bordeaux deserved winners and France on the up
All over. Easy peasy, Borries in a different class. Seeing it out with 40 minutes in second gear.
Thanks for the company Moz, enjoy the cruise.
Tx lads ... wonder how our boys would've shaped up versus the French
