The Leinster lads on reddit (and there are a lot of them) have been frothing.

About what? He's obviously a star in the making

Being too arrogant and he won't find life so easy when he plays a proper side [Leinster]/comes up against Josh van der Flier. Blah blah. I think it was also partly to do with people being more interested in Saints' games in the European knockouts than Leinster's domination of some deeply inferior teams.

The focus on Pollock reminded me a lot of people ragging on Ashton for the 'Ash splash' as if he was the only winger in the world to regularly dive over the line tbh. People who just don't like a cocksure young player who can back it up, so they pick at any and eveything.

James Lowe? I know he got outpaced by Freeman but that's a tad harsh.

To be fair, if you take out the try, a lot of that is true so far

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 5:34 pm**

Prendergast desperately needs some tackle lessons.
Or maybe just some more fire up his arse to make tackles.

Can see Leinster scoring several tries, but with the defence today, I can't see Saints not scoring any further tries.

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 5:35 pm**

Leinster on the dive.?

I think he's done fine, some good some bad.

The Leinster fans taking umbrage seemed to think anyone hyping up some of the things he's been doing in recent weeks aren't fully aware he's a 20 year old in his first season of senior rugby and that playing what is essentially the Irish national team is a big challenge for anyone, let alone a lad so early in his career.

You must have come across Irish rugby supporters before?

His tackling has been absolutely appalling. Someone like Marcus Smith at least puts in the effort and is brave, Prendergast just doesn’t seem in the least bit interested or have any technique. Hard to overstate how poor he has been in that respect

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 5:46 pm**

Also an odd decision, Leinster player came through and picked it up off the ground, which is fine, but no Northampton player was trying to hold on, so why a penalty when Northampton go back at him. You don’t get a penalty just for lifting the ball off the floor

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 5:52 pm**

Leinster have been much better so far this half, but Saints are hanging on in there well.

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 5:54 pm**

Absolutely no way the ref saw that

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 5:56 pm**

What a try.

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 5:57 pm**

Whatta try.

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 5:57 pm**

Fin Smith has been absolutely brilliant all game

Lovely little pass by Dingwall.

Irish milking a red here

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 6:04 pm**

Given some of the stuff we see mitigated to yellow, that feels like penalty only tbh.

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 6:05 pm**

Red for me. Lucky to get a yellow.

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 6:07 pm**

That wasn't a penalty.

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 6:09 pm**

Very harsh on Pollock to give Leinster that pen imo.

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 6:09 pm**

This is the ball game. Leinster will run riot from here

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 6:13 pm**

O'Brien could have doid.

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 6:13 pm**

That's very dim from Augustus.

Honestly, Irish rugby, just awful cunts

Brilliant turnover from Coles and Pollock combining there.

Hope Leinster come to rue not taking the points in such a tight game.

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 6:21 pm**

Ah just fuck off.

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 6:21 pm**

Coles hasn't done anything wrong there.

Byrne's on the floor and plays the ball.

Penalty Saints.

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2025 6:21 pm**

You can't play the ball if you're not on your feet.
