Really feel for Bayonne they deserved way more from that match. Could have been so different if they’d beaten Stormers early doors. It was like 15 honey badgers at times today. Aúpa Baiona! #BAYvLEI
Late tries by Leinster, in lead from 74th linute
Job done.
Munster next, in hope

The nice thing about the EPCR TV screen is that you get a bit of the stadium filling up before the commentators start their chat. #WeePferd absolutely loved La Peña Baiona before kick-off and is roaming around singing it. Jeez, rugby’s a powerful drug isn’t it! #BAYvLEI
I would really like if Leinster could get out of the "third gear" they seem to have been in for most of the season so far. It's great that even playing at a mediocre level they're winning matches and topping the EPRC pool, but still. Anyway, onwards! #BAYvLEI
Yet another ugly win, needed a bounce of the ball or two along the way, Segonds dominated us with his boot right up to that missed pen and eventually we were able to find the scores. Struggled with the conditions, will need to raise level for knockouts, but I'll take the win for now. #BAYvLEI

Look. We've had to dig deep for some wins lately, but we're coming out on the right side of tight ones. A lot can be said for that. Just need things to click come knockout time.
#BAYvLEI
Never in doubt.

3rd seed secured, unlikely to be higher without the bonus points but given first hour of this one, happy with the win.

Thank fuck thats over #BayvLei
Frustrating game. Looking clueless out there. #BAYvLEI
No Leinster player should try to challenge in the air for a ball... Automatic penalty for Bayonne irrespective of the circumstances... #BAYvLEI
Will always take an Irish province over anyone else but I must confess that I’m absolutely loving Bayonne’s old school approach of just taking pops at goal from a million miles out on the angle #BAYvLEI
Bayonne drive sideways in scrum... Play on... #BAYvLEI
And again, ref trying to get Bayonne to step back so they're not offside... They don't step back and he plays on... That's just weak officiating... #BAYvLEI
Far from ideal half for Leinster obvs, defence not bad bar one bad read at midfield, but we're just inches away from converting try chances and will def need one to stick soon. I was hoping we wouldnt be relying on bench but I think we might have to. #BAYvLEI
Another English ref, another series of bad decisions... #BAYvLEI
Bayonne offside at every single ruck... Ah play on sure.. no law against that... 🤔 #BAYvLEI
And yet again we have an English ref when playing a French team. You would think there weren't any other nation with refs.
