Still think we'll make the top 8 handily enough, but we'd probsbly be needing to win three games in the knockouts, which there is next to no chance of, so all eggs go in the exeter basket.

The biggest concern is whether we'll be able to field a halfway acceptable front row against exeter. I doubt we'll be seeing bell again before he goes back to aus and we will have to wait and see what the nature of tot and Wilsons woes are.

We also got on the wrong side of the ref very early and I think we lost a few 50/50 calls because of that ( eg when doaks kick got blocked I thought they were never on side and it looked like the ball was kicked out of Wilsons hand when he knocked on).

Looks like Bell will be out for a while, ToTs hand did not look great and maybe Wilsons in trouble too, could have a real prop crisis! This was my fear that our shallow squad depth would catch up with us at business end of the season.

Dialling it in in a massive derby. Should give one of the academy ones a go, at least they'll give a shit.

Our rally in the second half, gave the scoreboard an air of respectability that we didn't really deserve.  We didn't fire a shot until leinster had the 5 points secured, were comprehensively outmuscled and outplayed, very disappointing.

We seriously need to add to our front row stocks in the coming weeks and months.

Sam Creen in particular has been poor from where I'm standing, dominated in the scrum and on one of our few visits into their half he was turned over going into contract with all the venom of a sofa, wonder where EOS is.

Front row reinforcements needed.
