Hope Eric has someone to dress him down as well.

We had them and we got cocky. With so many first (and second) teamers missing Leinster were there for the taking.

Yep Eric has to hold his hand up for this before he starts criticising his charges, there were too many changes too early and ultimately that let Leinster off the hook.

Where there was continuity and cohesion in the first half there was total dissaray in the second...

Shame we don't have a game next week, selection/availibility would reveal his tactics from tonight....

Was O'Connor to blame for the loss? Absolutely 100% no (missed tackles or no)....

We had absolutely no platform 2nd half, changing 5 player in the first twelve minutes of the second half absolutely did for us. Leinster smelt blood and upped the tempo and we had no cohesion to respond.

22 unanswered points.....

Just making a point

It's not good enough.

We made so many shitty mistakes and unforced errors. I hope Eric has them in Monday morning for a dressing down

Niall O'Connor missed at least 5 1st up tackles. Shocking stuff.

Shit.

The first half was one of the greatest 40 mins I've seen us play. It felt like the Bourgoin match. The guys were everywhere, the hits were immense and Razor was well on track for MotM. But Leinster regrouped at half time and we didn't maintain the pressure. Losing Razor lost the match.

McCrea didn't look injured coming off, there was no need to make a replacement. Eric (and I love you Eric) seriously screwed up there unless there was an injury. Our backs on the bench should have come encased in glass with a sticker saying "Break in case of emergency ONLY". Murph was lively in the first half and was shaking his head coming off, and I don't blame him. Replacements for the sake of it aren't smart game management.

TJ tried hard, but he was no replacement for Ray. And once again we looked composed with Mul at 6, but lost with him at 8. After that it was a matter of Leinster wearing us down.

Our defense was so-so. For some parts of the game Leinster couldn't buy a yard, but Fitzgeralds try was shocking, we were going back at a rate of knots.

Piss poor.

We should have kicked on and won that, instead, we retreated into ourselves and made stupid mistakes and gave away shitty penalties. Lots of lazy play as well, backs tackling was shit, line speed in defence wasn't good enough.

Only positive for me is that when we threw the ball around we scored 2 tries.

We're going nowhere if we can't start winning games like that. That was a very poor Leinster team there for the taking, we were 12 up at half time and couldn't see it out. Bullshit

Not even a bonus point. Seriously depressing day of rugby.

No way they were all injuries, possibly Ofisa and Jarvis. Think Wilko was changed because he's not fit for 80mins at the moment..

eric has alot to answer in his post match interview, unless they were injured why change

And that is game, another STUPID penalty. Necewa scruff kick pushes Leinster to 27-20...

Were going to get nothing out of this at this rate. Fecking disgrace and a complete waste of the lads efforts in the first half...

Bollox, what was Eric thinking. He's bascially handed the game to Leinster....

Our platform is completely gone, kaput, outta there....

we threw that game away, eric has alot to answer for

Ah Jesus Eric what have you done? Balance of the side looks wrecked and Leinster are right back in this....

17-20, we're playing like drains...

agree them changes would be better 20 mins to go if we were 6 or so ahead

Jesus a lot of changes early in the second half, Ofisa and Jarvis off (must be injuries) and Murphy too for Anderson, McSharry and O'Donoghue. And two more before I completed this post. Wilko and Flav's off as well for Loughney and Ethienne...

Too many too early Eric (30 mins left), completely unbalancing the side.....
