Leinster vs Bordeaux

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.
