Ospreys completely out on their feet. Fitness is a shambles, they just couldn't get back in numbers there - they had lads absolutely crawling back when the play was moving inside their 5m line.

Osp are way outclassed

thomond2006 · 23-11-2018 10:06pm

I expected Leinster to beat the spread but this is phenomenal.

23-11-2018 10:07pm

IF ONLY!

Squidgy Black · 23-11-2018 10:08pm

Ospreys managed to throw the ball away about a foot away from Leinster's try line and the ball ends up down at their own try line. This is just strange to watch a team implode like this to a team consisting of mostly academy players

Quint2010 · 23-11-2018 10:08pm

Defence coach for The Ospreys. LOL.

Things are bad Bras Davis looking for the final whistle in a pitch side interview

This is fabulous stuff from Leinster. I did not expect this score line to be this big tonight. It is amazing to be 45-0 with just 11 minutes to go. Ospreys on the other hand are like looking through a cemented brick wall with no solutions within a clear line of sight. They look like they haven't a breeze with what is going on with their performance tonight. They are truly terrible.

Squidgy Black · 23-11-2018 10:14pm

I'm half expecting the Ospreys to just call it quits and walk off the pitch at this rate.

Sam Davies has been beyond awful

It's like he knows his level and is content just rocking out for the team, dangerous for the Ospreys.

Such a poor Ospreys side. It's not great for the league to have another poor side.

Former Former · 23-11-2018 10:18pm

Tom Daly the only man in the RDS not enjoying this

The Rape of Lucretia · 23-11-2018 10:20pm

Ospreys to have the last laugh though, and leave with their heads held high and their honour restored.

I'd say Lancaster and Leo will be fuming we conceded that try

A-Train · 23-11-2018 10:23pm

I hoped for a win however they blew them away. Great result and great run out for a lot of young lads. Frawley was very good

23-11-2018 10:23pm

That's a game changing loss for the Ospreys. Everyone is on notice there now...

Ectoplasm · 23-11-2018 10:23pm

Jesus. I remember when Ospreys were our bogey team. That was excellent by the baby blues but shocking by the Ospreys

mangobob · 23-11-2018 10:27pm

Phenomenal result.

Given that scoreline, it seems entirely unreasonable to be miffed that we conceded that last try, but I actually am lol. That scoreline will do our points difference no harm either.

Richard Hillman · 23-11-2018 10:28pm

Phenomenal. Leinster's 3rd team with a few dotted overseas players.

Tigerandahalf · 23-11-2018 10:30pm

Nights like tonight don't do much for the league.
Are these type of scores going to become more regular with the scottish and welsh continuing to lose players.

I see Wales seem to have dropped Webb and Biggar - with Davies and Anscombe starting this weekend, same as against Australia. Maybe they are getting more strict.

Buer · 23-11-2018 10:30pm

Frawley looked very composed. He has most definitely earned himself a start against better opposition during the 6N. Hopefully he gets a good bit of game time regardless and should hopefully get some pitch time in an interpro over Christmas.

His goal kicking alone puts him in a seriously good spot. I wouldn't mind seeing him get a run at 12 though given he has played there for Leinster A. Could get some decent game time there and solve a headache for us in the near future.

dublinman1990 · 23-11-2018 10:31pm

I remember a time a good few years ago that Ospreys would have been a team to be afraid of when they came up for a game against Leinster at the RDS. I watched the match on RTÉ2 with Leinster being beaten by Ospreys by one point. Was that reputation for Ospreys still valid up until now? But this scoreline from Ospreys tonight is just plain up embarrassing. Their heads, after that rout from Leinster, must have been placed on a merry go round on a tailspin.

awec · 23-11-2018 10:32pm

Allen Clarke strikes again.

I'm very satisfied he's able to go higher.

Biggar played last week vs Tonga, I think Gatlands just trying to rotate as much as he can.

razorblunt · 23-11-2018 10:34pm

That try at the end will help Simon Thomas sugar coat his match report.

He will just whinge about Leinsters budget and how these guys devalue the league
Ospreys players attitude was terrible and they looked gassed if the ball was in play for more then 60 seconds

Leinster performance was excellent. Nick McCarthys passing was awful tho. He seemed to be holding his wrist going off at half time.

Adam Byrne looks very sharp in his last few appearances. Frawley was outstanding and has a huge boot on him.

52-7 Was totally unexpected. Went along hopeful for a win. TBP after 45 minutes was brilliant but the attitude to keep going was fantastic. Even seeing a few players annoyed at conceding a try at the end summer up where Leo and Stuart (and co) have this group of players mentally.

troyzer · 23-11-2018 11:30pm

How different is this Ospreys team to the one that laid an egg in Musgrave a while back?

Obviously they have absolutely no depth.

Having said that, it was a strong Munster side that went out. We have an embarrassment of riches in Leinster.

Synode · 23-11-2018 11:41pm

Thought Fardy and Maloney were excellent. Frawley very composed and excellent kicking from the tee. Lowe is worth the admission alone. Always electric

He was in a boot at half time, right foot IIRC.
