Great win and bonus point and no harm for our points difference.

Great to get such a big win. Roll on Embra.
Hope ROL isn't injured, he went off and Carbery came on.

A six try win on the road is nothing to be sniffed at! Great result in a low key match with very little coverage ... it would be understandable if thoughts were elsewhere given the weekend in it, but it sounds like they got off to a running start and then finished strong too.
Good to see Adam Byrne and Rory O'Loughlin continue their try-scoring form, and particularly good to see Dave Kearney come back and hit the ground running. I think that he can really thrive under the current management's strategic and tactical outlook.
Looking forward to seeing what footage can be turned up of this one.

Imagine it like this.
M1 - They're talking about bringing back Daverage GM, I'm not having it. OS is getting another earbashing about moving Standard to 8.
GM - Hold on M1, let's think this one thru.
Joe likes Earlsie right? and Zeebs too.
A nice trick would be to get daverage into the team with Zeebs moving to FB and better again if Gilroy kept the 23 shirt, at least he's not from Leinster. Hey presto RK gone.
M1 - That's a damn good idea GM, in fact that's pure genus GM, pure genus, but what about Heaslip.
GM - All in good time M1- We'll do them one at a time and make sure we get rid of the lot of them.
M1 - Yeah but what about Healslip.
GM - By the time we're finished with Heaslip, he'll be too old to play for Ireland.
M1 - Good point GM, good thinking.
GM - Yes M1 and OS and those other Linshter eejits will think we're buying into the "the peace in our times" theme - gobshytes.
M1 - Not sure about OS buying anything but who cares. pure genus

From those highlights, looks like ROL had a very tasty game, a try and two assists.
Wonder how many assists does Ross Byrne's right boot have in the Pro12? Must be near top of the table on its own! Lovely asset.

Not wishing to complain or begrudge them but.......was the pass for Treviso's second try not about a yard forward?

Interestingly Reid is listed as going off after 62 for Daly and coming back on at 69 for Kearney - trying to get confirmation.ronk wrote:Kearney scoring 2 (and the tries themselves) supports saying that we have a system that supports wingers finishing moves.hugonaut wrote:A six try win on the road is nothing to be sniffed at!
