FULL TIME TAKES

Jackie McEachern

Glad for the bonus point win but am genuinely concerned about the discipline issues. I really worry about the European matches to come.

Christy O’Connor

That was a hard watch. The discipline was terrible, a lot of unforced errors and 3 yellow cards.

There was some scattered good passages of play but overall that was a terrible performance. We could’ve lost that game and not have had any complaints that Dragons didn’t deserve it.

I’ve said it many times now, I’m not a fan of Nienabar and it’s getting harder and harder to enjoy watching Leinster under his style of play

Kevin Kelehan

Better second half, Luke McGrath added an urgency and Snyman’s offloading came off perfectly. Against better sides the penalty count would have been fatal, they really need to stop giving away penalties at the breakdown.

Pádraig Turley

A curate’s egg of a performance, but bonus point very welcome.

Cormac Mannion

South African refs – a great bunch of lads

Eamon Saunders

Need to be better but getting loads of game time for the second choice players we will need them going forward

Gavin Delves

Ulster Munster and Connacht have ireland players playing this week and leinster had snyman in the second have why no one else becacause leo does what hes told by the IRFU things have to change
