Was hoping that questionable penalty on Leinster would be a turning point but they can't seem to keep it out of their own end.

LOOK AT DAT SCRUM DOE!!!! Seriously impressive work to get themselves out of jail, got to really keep the heads screwed on now....and as I'm typing they overthrow the lineout. We're giving them way too many opportunities to get back into this game.

See the way clarke was questioning the ref after his "talk" thats what a captain does, put a doubt in refs mind.

Great sequence of play from Connacht there, after missed Leinster penalty. But can't make it pay in the end.

I've been defending Duffy, but he made a total hash of that high ball.

Jesus I know he's been fairly consistent with both teams but the ref is blowing up for holding on insanely early. In this case Connacht had like 4-5 players over healy, yes he was still holding the ball but was making an effort to put it back and Leinster were never going to win it back. Most refs would let that go surely?

Terrible to hear about so'oialo think it was a mess all round, if it was because he was homesick i dont have any sympathy, he is a professional player, you cant put a club in the lurch for something that all players aboard have to deal with. We need to get a quality replacement. TOL has been woeful running up blind alleys and outpaced by a hooker. Once again the simple things messed up putting us back under huge pressure after great work. Swift has to make some counterpoints to the ref just saying yep to everything is not was a smart captain doe. front row doing reall well as is backrow. Ref has been poor also.

Well it was said this week, the second half is where Connacht have lost this fixture in the past. Can they go against the form book here and push on for a really big win?

Great start, superb efforts from the pack especially. Bad clearing kick aside Ronaldson is getting better every game. However we can't have another cardiff situation where we don't score for 70 odd minutes. First 10 minutes of the second half is everything.

What a defensive stand! Leinster through 2 dozen phases without gaining a yard. Penalty to relieve pressure, but Connacht make a hash of the lineout which quickly results in a penalty that lets Leinster get back to 9-13 at the half.

Up 13-3 after 26 minutes. Why do we keep kicking to their back three though? First up tackling when they do is awful.
