Christy O’Connor

Hard to make anything of this with such young team that was put out. It’s a learning curve, more than anything. Glasgow deserved the win

Dave Murray

Lots of soft scores leaked. Can only get better as the weeks go on 🤞🤞🤞

Craig Grehan

Lack of ruthlessness and aggression.

Frawley should’ve been at 10.

Or Prendergast …

We didn’t use the backs enough when we hit the 5m line and got punished by sloppy rucking.

Tackles were soft at times.

Chris McDonnell

Cant play rugby with a 10, 12, 13 and not a single one prepared to make a tackle. We created very little with the ball and how many times do we have to lose scores from boxkicking. Lineout was good, scrum was awful.

Bert McLoughlin

We were well outplayed at times but not giving a try without conclusive evidence was a turning point

Jamie Donohoe

Evans the Referee was absolutely shocking & completely incompetent.

That said Leinster leaked a lot of soft scores

Jamie Bermingham

Defence was very poor today and we had a number of chances on the Glasgow try line and let them slip. The decision to not allow Turners try was shocking as there was no solid evidence he was in touch, in fact it looked like the Glasgow player was keeping him in play
