Tough First Half. Bulls Ran. Out Of Steam. We Upped It Big Time . Great To See Them Back To Their Best. 👍🏉💪💙

Good win , but scrums need attention. Lots of players came on hungry and contributing.
Farcical ending by the officials nothing for player safety
David Ryle
Was worried about this game. First half was poor but Leinster seemed to have found their mojo in the 2nd half.
Greg Kelly
Another testament to how competitive the URC has really become
Lucky with a couple of calls but well worth the win. If Bulls utilised their possession to get their wingers/Moodie on the ball as much as Lein do, they'd be far more dangerous team with attack play to match up front stuff. That said, some scintillating stuff by us 👌🏽 #LEIvBUL
May not get the headlines like some (yet) but Jamie Osborne is and will be vital to Lein and Ire success gpin forward….absolute gem of a player #LEIvBUL

Can’t let the non-red card or the disallowed try discourse distract us from the fact that was an all-time awful second half.
Need to be honest with ourselves over that performance. We’ve got a good run at home now – have to see improvement.
Leinster 14 came out after the break like they were determined not to leave this match up to the bench. Amazing attacking display all round, best of season, Harry, Jordan, Jack outstanding, perfect time of year to hit form like that. Good Friday? Great one!#LEIvBUL

Score flattered Leinster who finished ruthlessly and tackled and tackled, great squad depth
Shane Gallagher
We need to talk about Liam Turner. I know we can all see Jamie stepping up to a possible first choice centre position but Turner is so fast and powerful…love to watch him both in defence and attack!
Karen Mooney
As always leinster come out in the second half.. and put the match to bed…
Came up with the goods after the break, no offence meant to Luke but Deegan was PotM for me. Good shift for 4th quarter defence, 5 points in the bank, back home to RDS for Bulls on Fri.#ZEBvLEI

🏉 Pack mentality 🏉 Offloadin’ Will 🏉 Carré-d away 🏉 Doin’ sh*t well 🏉 10 outta 10
The interval really did come at the perfect time, came out of the break really well, thought Leinster's pack won us that although Turner impressed on wing. Good night for the Front Row Union Loosie Branch try-wise. Five more in the bag, onwards we go…#CARvLEI

Great result considering how well Benetton are doing this season and all the missing internationals.
Love Prendergast’s cool under pressure ability, he took a wrong option and was immediately swamped by the defence but had the ability to keep calm and place the ball back so well.
Lots of rusty performances and mistakes due to weather and no recent games.
Delighted to see Byrne get a chance to rinse the spiderwebs off his game and McErlean get a solid game behind him, again pity the weather was so naff for his first tog out.
Greg Kelly
Leinster sticking 47 points on the 2nd placed team tells you all you need to know about the URC
Craig Grehan
Good to see that mixture of players running well. Few fumbles here & there. But very good
Eamon Saunders
Good win nice to see a Wexford man get a try #Brian Deeny
Christy O’Connor
Very scrappy at times from both sides. Have to hand it to Benetton, they fought really well and I don’t think the scoreline does them justice
Dave Murray
Not a spectacular performance but good 5 points.
Benetton fell off after the break but we took our chances well, bench too good, handy 5 points, Jamie worth PotM, on to Cardiff, nuff said.#LEIvBEN

Andrew Byrne A last minute try can’t paper over those cracks. We were far below where we should be. Is our squad just too big, all this rotation seems to be causing a lack of cohesion in our playing combinations. I only hope we have a better performance in the bank for next week.
Chris McDonnell Seriously not good enough. This rotating the whole team had to stop. Too many players just not good enough to play for Leinster.
Darran Kearney Kinda liking that we are playing so poorly early season, instead of beating everyone out the door and learning nothing. Coaches have 6 months to work with the team for the business end of the season. Hoping we can end this season better than we have in the more recent seasons
Christy O’Connor Way too much rotation, players playing out of position. Lots of schoolboy errors. Have we not learned anything from the last 2 seasons. We rested players that only played 1 or 2 games. This is now getting ridiculous. Stop giving lads time just for the sake of it. We need to give the core players more time and the others should possibly look to move abroad.
Conor O’Shea Poor performance, but a wins a win. No major injuries for next week from tonight
Eamon Saunders A lot of mistakes from both sides but good to get the win 👏👏
Went from deserving to be behind to deserving to be ahead to deserving to lose….to a BP win!!! Way to many unforced errors by both sides, just needed that composure at the end. Talk about getting out of jail. Tough on Connacht. Draw would be better result tbf #CONvLEI
