Tom Gordon gets out third from the 5m lineout

Can we get a BP?

Excellent rampaging score by Gordon

10 points in it and 7 minutes left.

That had to be a maul. Never a tackle. Harsh on Glasgow.

Leinster taking the 3 points with 3 minutes left shows respect for the opposition.

Penalty Leinster which takes what small chance of the game away from Glasgow

In the red but 2 BP at stake. Glasgow kick penalty and get to 22.

Leinster dive into the tackle and emerge with the ball. Game over.

Commiserations Glasgow. Great game, good fight.

Am liking these Monday night matches.

32-19 FT Leinster

Another impressive victory, well done the boys in blue


Still am quietly encouraged by the Glasgow performance as well, if we had played like that we would have beaten Ospreys and Connacht. Hope remains for the future

Agreed. Maybe missing a few stars but good signs for building strength in depth.

Is Ben Whitehouse Clownshoes in disguise?

Leinster deserved the win, they are setting the standards for the rest of the Pro 14/12/whatever to live up to.

Hugh Jones...worst game this season; against the best opposition. Might make Toonie think twice.
George Turner...three missed lineouts in scoring positions, when you consider how many tries Scotland score from those positions he may have done his international chances a lot of harm tonight.
Sam Johnson...looked very good, considering.
Squiggsy ...looked a bit on the tubby side.

Glasgow have to be better on defensive side of the ball. Can’t concede 32 points.
Against Leinster 3 tries and 19 points is almost there. 2 missed conversions(?) would have been 23 points and expecting to win.
Need to fix the D.

There was certainly a lot of heart shown by the Glasgow team, they didn't give up and the backs played some nice stuff in patches.

Overall though, I can't get too excited. It just hammers home the point that our depth isn't what it needs to be - highlighted by lots of basic errors at key points. I also thought we looked really under powered, especially in the back five of the scrum.
