Great hand there for Kearney's 2nd try, BOD looking the best he's done in 2-3 years.

Half time Leinster 27 Cardiff 3. Some would say it's all over but they can draw inspiration from Leinster's comeback in last years final. Leinster need to keep the foot on the pedal in the 2nd half.

The interplay for that BOD try was just magic.

Bit of luck with injuries to 2nd rows as it turns out and he was available on a short term contract. He's really made a big difference to the scrum and in the loose he's like and extra back row.

20 minutes gone, Leinster 10 Cardiff 3. Sexton missed a sitter of a pen and has a chance to make up for it now. Cardiff looking a little rattled but they're still in this one.

Edinburgh did really well in that game, especially when they stayed in touch while they were down to 13. One of the favourites out. But in reality if Toulouse had snuck through no one would fear them on that performance. Congratulation to them on the win but I'll be cheering on their opponents...

Sad news that Aironi are pulling out of Pro12 at the end of the season as the Italian Federation have revoked their licence on financial grounds. Italian teams really made some progress this year and this move undermines that.

Wasn't sure who to cheer for in this one until I heard the Highlanders fans booing the conversion attempt for the first Stormers try. After that I was up for the Stormers. What was up with the Highlanders scrum early on? 1st two they went early and then they were lucky to get a pen on the next...

Just finished watching Toulon destroy Quins in the Challenge cup. Stefan Armitage was man of the match, but Giteau was also very impressive. There's still a gulf between the top English teams and the best in Europe, but the dept in the French Top14 is staggering. There's a possible all French...

On a side note, how annoying are those mini player profiles they show when there's a stopage. I don't mind the fact they show them but please time them right so they're not still playing while live play is resumed. On one of them tonight not only had play restarted during one but the Force had...

70 minutes gone Force 12 Chiefs 20. The Chiefs have looked very poor and they're there for the taking. But very few of the force are performing, Sharpe is really up for it and looking for work everywhere to drag his team back into it. Mafi has looked good in patches, Sheehan has been utterly...

deep in the Chiefs 22, Force dither over what to do for an age. Chiefs counter ruck, turn over ball, kick way down the field, chance lost. Force need to step it up if there're going to get anything more than a losing bonus point here.

Yeah the force are hanging in there. But they're spending long periods without the ball and 5 guys going for SBW for the Nanai-Williams try was a joke.

Reds deserved the win but they made hard work of it in the 2nd half. For them at the moment it's just about getting wins and getting the season back on track.

Nah from my experience with Argentina Rugby supporters they are polite and friendly and you'll have great fun if you're mixed in with some of them at the RC games. As Cave Dweller pointed out the hooligan element is on soccer and the rugby fans are a totally different breed.

Roberts is out for 6 months due to surgery on an injury. I'd love if they did that we've got plenty of young centres who need to get experience before the next WC. Other than BOD and D'Arcy the rest of our backline will be around for the next WC but still would like to see the likes of Felix...

It makes a big difference both in attack and defence to have a talker somewhere in 10, 12 or 13. A lot of the reason why Wilkinson wasn't as good in his 2nd stint with England was that he had no Will Greenwood at 13. Greenwood used to talk all the time and tell Wilko when to pass and when to...

In my experience Argentinian fans are like we Irish, they'll travel anywhere to support their team. Where ever the Aus v Arg games are held there will be a passionate, colourful and noisey support for the Pumas. It wont take long for the numbers to swell over the next few years.

Don't know any Leinster fans who think D'Arcy should even be in the squad let alone the team over the last few years. There are plenty of players who should be ahead of him. All he's doing now is eroding any legacy he had from 5-6 years ago when he was a genuine quality player. Unlike Hickey and...

Their summer tour is Australia, Samoa and Fiji.
