Dragons V Leinster

First topic message reminder :

Well......

Dragons lose 1 player (Faletau) to the Wales Squad. (ok 2 then Coombs also)

Leinster lose EIGHTEEN. (Count 'em) If the Dragons can't win this one at home..........

Hard to make too much of a stab at a team but here goes.

O'Connell
Dundon
Bent
Roux
Denton
Ryan
Jennings
Ruddock

Cooney
Gopperth
Tuqiri
Goodman
Macken
Fitzgerald
Kirchner

Tracy
Dooley
Furlong
Marshall
Gilsenan
Mcgrath
Reid
Fanning

Lots of Academy players and a couple of NIQs returning from injury (Hopefully)

Leinster are a wee bit rudderless. They're just not creating the chances. Same as against Connacht.

That Dragons try was fantastic.  Gopperth and Cooney are both having a poor game.  I don't know what Gopperth was thinking going for a kick after he had fumbled it, was obviously going to be charged down.  As for the try - Tuquiri came out of the line like a numpty and made it very easy for the Dragons after the initial break.  To be honest Tuquiri looks constantly pretty disinterested for Leinster.

Enjoyable Rugby this

You lot had a few wonky put ins go "unnoticed" against Castres I reckon.
Agreed though. Scrums are a farce and the new rules don't seem to have worked.

Phil Steele (why?), Huw Bennett = hit mute button.

Dragons should have been in there! Feck

We need to win this one ugly. I'm backing Gopperth to do it.

Hey Gibbo... how's you pal

Richie Rees subbed with 25 to go?

I'm grand RDS and yerself sir?  

Really happy with our scrum. Albeit they are a joke as a contest.

Dragons down a man. Adam Jones.

Now lads...

Why sub Rees so stupid and first line out sub 9 Evans drops the ball.

Mon Jenno! Get us over de lineee!

Looks good for Leinster now... thats a try in my book

Dundon! "Any reason...?" TRRRRRRRRRRRRRY!

Is that a try, it does not look like it?

Think they said injured.

Fine Gibbo... good to see you  

Game on now.. c'mon Dragons

The Lienster half backs are poor considering the ball they are getting.

True. So far. Untried combo.

Is that the first thing Kirchner has done right? Good score tho'

Game set and match, the extra man counted.

Thats the winning of the game, now the talk will turn to the 4 try bonus point. Dragons let this slip away with a brainless yellow card.

Ooooh! Now that's class from Kirchner.

Different players in the jersey. Same ol Leinster.

Still think the Dragons can do this... but yes brainless yellow

Auuuvaaaaaaaaaa! Really like the guy. Such an honest player.

Dragons really having a pop now. They are another side at home.

The 16 against 14 is paying off in this game.

Kirchner doing damage.

Not wanting to ref bash,, but some close calls going against the dragons there!

Nice call ref...

Our lineout has been 100% tonight. Most impressed. Man Dundon.

I've had to turn the sound down, because shouting 'shut up, Jiffy' at the screen doesn't seem to work!

RTE are going on about Irish refs neutrality being questioned by the home support. But the ref has been good tonight and very consistent. So whats the problem?

C'mon Dragons.... its not over yet

Not questioning neutrality, just a couple of calls... or my opinion of a couple of calls

I agree. Hes been good. He's made some great calls on both sides. But you know the favourite pastime in Wales?
