fucking finish on that! Great stuff from Hewitt. The Dragons put in some good attacking effort there. they can do it, it's just so few and far between it's like a leap year.

Posted: **Fri Oct 02, 2020 8:43 pm**

Good turnover by the Dragons.

Posted: **Fri Oct 02, 2020 8:46 pm**

Dragons handled that maul reasonably well.

Posted: **Fri Oct 02, 2020 8:46 pm**

Holy shit, Rhodri Williams saved the day there.

Posted: **Fri Oct 02, 2020 8:48 pm**

Jesus, Baird used some of those Dragons defenders like welcome mats.

Posted: **Fri Oct 02, 2020 8:48 pm**

Can't wait for Rhodri and Wainwright to be out of contract

Posted: **Fri Oct 02, 2020 8:52 pm**

Yes, good defence from Hewitt.

Posted: **Fri Oct 02, 2020 8:56 pm**

There's a surprise, the Dragons getting a pen from the scrum.

Posted: **Fri Oct 02, 2020 9:02 pm**

Dragons forwards actually causing problems here.

Posted: **Fri Oct 02, 2020 9:06 pm**

They really should throw everything they have at Kieran Crowley

Posted: **Fri Oct 02, 2020 9:11 pm**

That was a very close call at the end there. But Leinster handy and worthy winners. None of the Dragons died so that's something.

Posted: **Fri Oct 02, 2020 9:49 pm**

Can a 30 point loss be considered a minor success? Probably not, but its interesting to note that the Dragons at least engineered a number of opportunities in the Leinster 22, and a few right on the line.

Had they had a functional line out, they may have got a score or two more. Same old issues mind. Won and lost up front. If the Dragons had even a semblance of a front 5, they'd have been in that match for a lot longer.

Posted: **Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:53 am**

In the last 10 I thought the Dragon's forwards did very well. Pity about the other 70 minutes really.

Posted: **Sat Oct 03, 2020 9:43 am**

Christ. That lineout... Fucking excruciating.

The speed of Leinster ball was way too fast... Needed a genuine 7. That said, in previous seasons that would have been 50+ bumming so could have been worse.

No coincidence that the best period was when screech and basham came on. I'm not particularly impressed by maksyimw so far.

I still want to see us with Bateman and brown in tandem to give us more carrying, basham or griffiths at 7 to give us the proper jackaller we need, and Tompkins at 12 for getting the ball wider to what is increasingly looking like a decent back 3.

Posted: **Sat Oct 03, 2020 12:35 pm**

I thought the Dragons were reasonably fast with the ball from rucks and scrums, but Leinster were so much faster and they seemed far more confident with the ball in hand. At times the Dragons players looked lost, unsure of what to do.

But yeah, that lineout was a fucking disgrace.

EDIT: I didn't get to see any of the Blues game, how well did they go? Apart from winning i mean.

Not pretty viewing, apparently our tactics were to play off the ball and defend, which we did rather well. Standouts were Seb and SLH(who I named as our starting 6 in the 8N, just saying), SLH especially was a man among and against boys. Backs were ponderous, Amos, Adams and Lee-lo aside. LL.Williams is a fine player, but doesn't fit the way our backs want to play.

I know Moore has had all the hyper, but I'd take everyone of James Botham, Will Boyde, Ellis Jenkins, Alun Lawrence, Shane Lewis-Hughes, Josh Navidi, Olly Robinson, Josh Turnbull over him, not sure why we signed him.

Still, was the easiest game of the season(bar the Dregs and Os I guess) and it was far from a romp.

What channel for the Scarlets?

Posted: **Sat Oct 03, 2020 2:21 pm**

This is already looking like it will be a much better contest, Scarlets one penalty to the good after 20 mins.

I’m streaming it, C69.

Another pen gets banged over and then Peter O’Mahoney gets yellow carded for shoulder-barging a ruck. Halfpenny now lining up a 3rd pen from a mile out... and nails out.

9-0 after 25mins, Munster down to 14.

Posted: **Sat Oct 03, 2020 2:27 pm**

Would like Ken to have gone for the corner there. Against 14, penalties building against Munster, chance to really crank up the pressure.

Fair shout. Bit early in the season to be going all Genghis Khan, though.

Munster work a lovely little bit of interplay down the blindside and Jack Donahue skips in for a meat pie.

9-7

Yeah, for a second there I thought it would ignite but it fairly ambled along in that half. At least Zebre provided some entertaining intent... most exciting thing so far has been Cawdor looking for a scrap with everyone in glaring distance.

So needs to be a lot better but at least you got the win and away as well. Interesting to hear about Lewis Hughes, hopefully he'll get into the squad for November.

Who the hell is this fat butter bean that has just waddled on for the Scarlets? It’s like someone’s photocopied a photocopy of a photocopy of Martyn Madden!

Whoever he is, he just marched the Munster scrum back at a rate of knots!

Javan Sebastian. Looks a decent player. And that scrum was impressive.

New Munster fly half having a shocker so far

Naughty by cubby there... ah no, not Cubby - 21 sliding in with knees.

Not as naughty as O’Mahony, obvs!

Only a yellow so no ban. Turnbull gets headbutted in the shoulder, so will see 3 weeks out, O'mahoney dives elbow in at a led on back jake ball, no ban. jesus

He should be, it was a bad one, straight red for me.

Some comeback from Munster though, Scarlets were almost Edinburgh-esque at the end there.
