That TMO was a joke. Showing the ref a mild Connacht tackle and trying to amp the ref up and then he ignored Bundee being cleared out into the head. Didn't even tell the ref
Mark Patton was TMO. I found it weird that last night there was a Welsh team of officials for Ulster v Munster, yet there were Ulster refs for this one.
No the Ref was on Connacht’s side the whole time that penalty and yellow card against jimmy O’Brian was terrible call it was a fair contest and the RTE Commentators were the most biased I’ve ever seen at Leinster
Just finished watching a replay of the entire game, and some of the subsequent interviews. That was the first real Irish Derby I have seen in a few seasons (just my opinion). Great commitment from both sides but far from fluent when given prominent attacking-scoring opportunities. Impressed with the Connacht Locks & Back-row. Mac Hansen & Jordie Barrett were standouts. All that being said, the URC has a real problem that is being ignored - Match Officials. There was no consistency shown by the officials at crucial moments - one player gets Yellow for what is clearly a 'rugby incident' clash of heads - moments later an opposing team player appears to have been on the receiving end of a blow to the head at a maul, only in this case the action appears deliberate. Result = No Action Taken. This incident, and 2 or 3 others, are more indicative of the inconsistencies in general throughout the league - in fact, Rugby Union in general.
@KewKew-do3kq We haven't actually seen half of them yet but they should in the new year. For me it's Porter Sheehan Furlong Ryan McCarthy Baird Van der flyer Doris Gibson-Park Prendergast Lowe Barrett Ringrose Jimmy O'Brien Keenan Healy Kelleher Salami Snyman Conan Mcgrath Frawley Henshaw. Osborne and connors very unlucky
@@tomgreene1843 Close enough. Tadhg Beirne, PO’M, Jack Crowley, Bundee Aki, Mack Hansen, Finlay Bealham, Craig Casey/Conor Murray all make it into the Irish 23 from the other provinces. Iain Henderson there or thereabouts too.
The ref just screwed connacht none stop i never seen anything like it. Leinster gets every decision in this league. Honestly this league is pointless if leinster have 16 players every game
What game were you watching. ?? Connaught got away with bloody murder. Good job Snyman saw the funny side of being struck in the face not once, but twice, directly in front of the ref. Ease off the gargle, yeah!?
@@tadhgoferrall2371 you clearly don't have a clue about rugby if you can't see the ref and tmo screwed Connacht. You Leinster fans are big crybabies even with everything the Irfu gives you ye still make up lies to cover up refs
Well lets be honest the two cards were deserved, the game management/refereeing was terrible, Connacht got away with jumping into a tackle from a bouncing ball, playing the ball on the ground on numerous rucks, Leinster got away with a high hit on Bundee and a few other offenses, goes both ways, ref and the crew werent biased they were just bad, not surprising and nothing new.
Another pretty disgraceful attempt at refereeing - linemen should be there to call foul play when the referee does not do so. Some awful decisions against Connacht who were equally as good if not better than Leinster. I just wonder are most referees actin with a bit of fear of Leinster. It’s putting me off watching this lovely fame - poor refereeing!!!👎👎👎
What about the strike to snymans face, twice? The pen vs leinster even though connacht 15 illegally jumped into the tackle? Playing the ball onthe ground before Connachts 2nd try? The refereeing was bad but drop your victim complex both teams were wrongfully penalised. Best team won, as usual.
Referees hugely inconsistent and Leinster seem to reap the rewards. How were the head contacts on Connacht players not checked. Prendergast even asks the question, poor show.
Last yellow for the high ball contact is lazy refereeing. Player was not tackled in the air, was a fair contest for the ball. The player whose feet leave the ground creates the dangerous situation. To avoid a yellow do we now need 2 players jumping off the ground in the contest. That’s even more dangerous
Ref was a disgrace He was going to blow for a penalty for connaght in the closing minutes which was a penalty but didnt and all hes bad decisions!!! Its a joke!! Well done connaght playing against 16 men !!!
Leo and his south African world cup winning coach,, are the joke in leinster,, never seen this great team so bad ,, line out ,,disaster and never seen them losing so many breakdowns,,and cullan is happy,, time for Cullen and his brilliant south African side kick too go,, they have destroyed leinster, even though they haven't loss a game ,just by luck, they don't need to be the bridesmaid again this year,, with the money that's available to leinster, its time for a couch the will bring leinster back too their next fifth star,,
@rianpp3696 no,, do you see the same leinster team anymore, I always love watching leinster rugby, my only highlight of the week after killing myself working ,and just basically living day by day, the only happiness in my shit life was the leinster games at the weekends, my head space is better today, and I still love my rugby, especially leinster, sad I know but it's all I have,, but at the moment what Cullen and his much rated south African world cup winner is doing is destroying my much loved leinster team ,, they have been the breides maid for the last 4 years, time with all the money leinster have, bring couches in that will give us that 5th 🌟
@@ColmOkeeffe-f8u I tend to agree. I wouldn’t have hired nienabar and Cullen should have been let go at the very latest after the second la Rochelle final defeat. What team on earth would keep a manager after losing three finals on the bounce? Hope they all prove me wrong do and will happily eat my words if that happens.

Be careful what you wish for
Jordie Barret is just incredible
All Blacks are usually pretty good
Charlie Tector outdid him there today in centre . Another incredible talent coming in for Leinster .
He was lucky TMO was asleep for the head shot on Bundee.
Should have got red 🍒
He didn't even do anything

🤣🤣🤣
Charlie Tector was sublime. Another serious talent .
Hannibal Tector.
well done Connacht!!! a few decisions went against us
Leinster get snyman and Barrett, Munster get Benny Hill from Ulster.
Munster had Snyman and De Allende in 2020 onwards didn't they? Didn't hear anyone complaining about that.
@Nologogo snyman was resting for the world cup with SA , always injured for Munster but grand for SA.
its a dream to have my fav player in the world at leinster - Jordie Barret

good outing for the Leinster academy players. Tector was playing in the AIL 2 weeks ago. Connacht deserved a loosing bonus point for their doggedness.

No there blaming a terrible Ref which was there for all to see !!!
