The decision of Parks to take the penalty when we were 13-9 ahead was just wrong. I hate saying it, but was screaming at the man. Hitting the post and missing it I can even forgive, but what was the point of just going 7 points up anyways? A draw would have been the best outcome even if he did get it. We were camped on their line, the ref had warned them for constant infringements. That was when we should have gone for the jugular.

Still proud of them...... But feel like crying.

Jay I need, to go for an ice bath...raging. Soon lads everything comes to those who wait and all that.

I would disagree the scrum was down a man tired and going backwards he thought boss had hand on the ball and i couldnt see if he had. Not overly critical of him, scored a great try aswell.

I think its pure laziness he doesn't need to do it, he is really causing severe problems to the team when he does it.

100% sickened by the last 10 minutes. Foolish by marmion but he had given everything to the team and the ref was killing him and all of us. Took going down to 13 men before Leinster could get the better of Conn. Another moral victory but that's not much comfort.

Totally agree even quinlan saying the ref was dire and he was, 18 -8 penalty count

You can't blame the ref for that. If we had white and Buckley to bring on there we wouldn't have lost. Ref could have brought the cards out against our scrum earlier.

A familiar tune, coming in you'd be happy with a losing bonus point, but the way the game played out you feel it's poor consolation and an opportunity missed.

You could say the same for leinster for 60. Parks simple miss the difference.
Tremendous effort by the lads very proud despite the loss. Back row needs to stay, front row did really well. Heffernan was darn good. Clark should be made captain full stop. Surprised carr didnt figure for a few minutes.
New full exciting full back needed.

Few complaints if they can't score any points for 65 minutes.

Cheated

Down to 14 men and Leinster bring on the replacements, not looking good.

loughney has always been a clown.. everytime he comes on he does that, repeated infringement everytime!

Heenan!! brilliant!!
