Think a losing BP would be a good result for us. I imagine Leinster will still be smarting over our smash and grab last season.

Anyone know if Charlie Davies, Lewis Evans and Rhys Thomas are injured?

Moore back playing at TH is a huge boost as our scrum has been a weak point without him.Hopefully that will ensure we can push on and win here.

Didn't get to see the match cos I'm working but that's a really good result.Great start to the season for Cullen and it looks like we have some of our attacking mojo back.

Was at the game, Ringrose looks the real deal, some of his lines of running were fabulous. Big Ben in the midfield played well. Marsh controlled the game well. Isa was a class apart.

Boss is almost a liability at pro12 level, after 5 minutes he looses his puff and the tempo disappears

Impressed by Molony in the second row. For a relative youngster he already has good bulk on a large frame and seemed to really put himself around the park. If he can stay healthy it should be good.

Conan dropped out before kick off, Ruddock started at 8 and was alright.

Van der Flier put in a great shift (could be our Jordi/Conan backrow top-up for this season).
