First of the year #LEIvCON #COYBIB 🥶

Connacht look a tired tired side.
15 min spell is all we could put together.
Lancaster needs to back the younger hungrier players and let them lead the way. Naughton, West, Barrett, give them the starts.
Far too many underpeforming senior players with lead in their boots.

Lein got some purchase utilising short side / blind side attacks..it holds oppos linespeed off the edge ..use it more ffs esp next week #LeivCon

Well it seems we left the lack of discipline and unforced ineptitude in the dressing room at HT and stuck with the sublime bit ☺️. Onwards to LAR next week #LEIvCON

Have to be happy with that second half, some tough defending at times to go with exactly the attacking improvement we were looking for. Love Whiskey and he played well but I'd have nodded to Tector for PotM myself, but happy overall, decent start to the year. #LEIvCON

That sort of beating up on teams in the second half for the sake of it is something Leinster have really been lacking this season and I missed it dearly #LEIvCON

Homer Simpson is bent backwards over a fire hydrant. A large musclebound man looks on, a bit in shock. The caption reads, "This is even more Connacht than it looks."

Was 19-17 when I went to cook dinner. I'd love to ask, "What the hell happened," but we all know that it was Connacht. Connacht happened... #LEIvCON

Leinster with some proper speed on both wings for the first time in a long time. 💨 #LEIvCON

Deeney having a quietly effective game in the row apart from obv try done his nuts n bolts very well..big potential #LeivCon

He was well and truly in my bad books after the Ulster game, so it's great to see Tector showing what he can do here #LEIvCON

Connacht really struggling since Brace went off. #LEIvCON

Hopefully josh vdf coming on makes a big diff...connors way off it #LeivCon

What happened to Andrew Brace? (I'm in and out of the game and am missing bits) #LEIvCON

Tommy O Brien involved in all thats good for Leinster (AGAIN) #LeivCon

Typical Leinster performance this season, a mix of sublime play and unforced ineptitude. Discipline has been terrible! Frustrating as fuck. Brace hasn’t helped but, fuck me 😩. #LEIvCON

Massively frustrating half..poor breakdown skills and discipline overall from leinster..connacht deserved comeback v patient..need more from conan .. #leivcon

Rollercoaster of a half, super start from Leinster but then the discipline went off a cliff and Connacht took advantage altho that 40m pen adv was odd. Loved our response in those final moments but we need to be more consistent from the restart. JJ Kenny impressing once more. #LEIvCON

Great patience from connacht ..lein all over the shop #LeivCon

Really poor at breakdown from leinster esp connors and mangan so inaccurate...massively frustrating #LeivCon fair play to connacht

Can any of the idiots on comms pronounce Ioane correctly ffs #leivcon

The Andrew Brace show. At his most pedantic. No likelihood of this game being allowed to flow. #LEIvCON
