First half was squeaky bum, cracking rugby but very low scoring, but Leinster stretched their legs in the second half. Tommy O’Brien is having an excellent season. We haven’t looked convincing all season with the exception of a couple of games. We railroaded teams in previous years and haven’t won much so maybe stuttering is the way to go 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Eamon Saunders

Good win building nicely to be fair ,another semi final to look forward to 💙

Cormac Mannion

I was absolutely bulling at half time. Same crap as last week – awful handling skills and poor ball presentation at the ruck. Needless knock-ons, players taking their eye off the ball etc etc.

Much better second half and it finally clicked.

However, Sale were absolutely atrocious. They offered absolutely nothing in attack bar putting snow on the ball.

Worrying to see some of those potential injuries and we definitely must have been cursed by someone… another prop injury!!!

Dave Murray

Two different,but poor, first 40 minutes of of rugby this week and last. But too much for Sale in the second half, like last week also. Will it be good enough for Toulon at home in May? Let’s see. But good to have a home semi final, to look forward to.

Gavin Hegarty

If we played like that against Bordeaux or Toulouse we’d ship 50. Simply not good enough.

Sale had no lineout and two yellow cards yet were still within 6 of us.

Granted we did pull away but it was hugely frustrating.

Some little mistakes that Leinster of previous seasons wouldn’t make.

Chris McDonnell

What does robin Mcbride get paid for?

We got a bye to the semi final to be honest. The last 2 weeks neither side would make the top 6 in the URC

Just papering over the cracks. We have 3 coaches who clearly are out of their depth. McBride doesn’t know what a scrum looks like.

Kevin Scullion

We will get beaten by a good team, simple as…
