Big concern is how easy Harlequins (with their B Team out) scored against us. Defensively we've been soft this season and we've been sluggish in attack.
Need to wake up, it's been a season of sleepwalking.
#LEIvHAR #LeinsterRugby
An unconvincing performance but a bonus point win at least. Performances need to improve but collecting wins over December and January is key.
Jordan Larmour the star of the show. Harry Byrne and Tommy O'Brien both really good.

I don't want to lose the scrum but even tho I feel leinster were slightly more powerful and won more penos but Im sick of technical scrum penos as adjudged buy a ref. What % of scrums went to play?
#leivhar
#LEIvHAR lots of works needed .Harry Byrne deserves a start
Comfortable result on the scoreboard, not on the pitch. Inconsistent for 40, abysmal for 20, better for 15 and then asleep again for their last try. It's 5 points at least but you'd have to wonder how much longer it's going to take us to click. A first-string Quins side may well have won.
#LEIvHAR
Got much better eventually, albeit after a yellow & pen try. Oddly it was the attack in 2nd half more concering, too many knockons on the ground. Harry looked busy, we def deserved the 5pts but need to improve as the CC opponents get much tougher from here #LEIvHAR
Thank you, Rieko Ioane #LEIvHAR
The greatest injustice of the entire game is the scoreline
Makes it seem as though Leinster had some clue what they were doing
#LEIvHAR
Leinster have conceded such unbelievably soft tries today. Defense is a real worry this season.
#LEIvHAR
Harry Byrne has looked good again today. I think heβs really making a good case to be the starter. #LEIvHAR
Some impact Harry Byrne ..great stuff #LEIvHAR
This aint rocket science ...run hard..clean rucks accurately...protect ball in contact. Score #LEIvHAR
Our maul has not got going today at all.
#LEIvHAR
This Leinster team are actually shit. Totally gone at the game. This is Quins B, and we've been awful all season with the first team #LEIvHAR #COYQ
This is awful stuff from Leinster ..truly abject..the whole shooting gallery..players n coaching staff need a long hard look in the mirror..not good enough top to bottom.. #LEIvHAR
Fully expect to be handed a βI Froze Me Bollox Off For THIS?β shirt leaving the stadium
#LEIvHAR
Whatever about the inconsistency of the first half, we have been legitimately dreadful in this second half.
#LEIvHAR
Really annoying/worrying aspect of leinster play is lack of ball protection/control in contact ...joe schmidt is crying somewhere...its awful #LEIvHAR
Looking very good once in their 22, not so good when Quins have the ball. I'd have concerns over our defending so far. Hopefully Frawley not too bad, did extremely well to finish that try. Larmour also looks hungry. Need to crack on 2nd half, no let up. #LEIvHAR
Odd one. We've been broadly dominant and have the BP wrapped up by HT, but we're still seeing those frustrating inaccuracies in attack and an even more frustrating porousness in defence. We should win this comfortably but a better team than a second string Quins would be smelling blood.
