Shout out to the @TG4TV live coverage of Leinster v Connacht and Munster v Ulster today, alerting me to when I need to run and take the washing in from outside.

41-12. Slow start (other than the first try) and some dubious living and line-outs, but ultimately a very satisfying BP win against Connacht and a great way to start 2023! #LEIvCON #URC

Meant to say something about the officiating. Sexton head clash aside, a very good performance from the referee at #LEIvCON tonight.

Good clear comms, good decision making, even handed, and kept up with a very fast game.

Most impressive.

Really entertaining match at the RDS Connacht competitive deep into it but a couple of late tries put a gloss on the score line Good performance from the much changed side with a fair crop of youngsters Lineout issues need to be resolved but that apart a good enough performance Top of the pile in January 2023 let’s see how it pans out 🤷🏻‍♂️ Good performances from JL and Ryan B Deeny looked good and the Foley cameo was exciting #LEIvCON #happynewyear #leinster

A tale of 3 parts to that match. A tight, well-matched fast-paced game gave way to more of a broken-up tussle in midfield in the second half. But come the final quarter Leinster flexed their handling muscle and put Connacht to the sword.

A shame Connacht don't come away with something as the scoreline doesn't do them justice.

However, Johnny coming off with a big dent in his face is a worry, possibly for the next 2-6 weeks.

Got the scores that mattered in clinical fashion, Larmour, Baird, Ngatai impressed most, but all eyes will be on the injury report for Sexton's name. Connacht impressed in patches but never able to find enough of an edge.

#LEIvCON #URC #rugby #RugbyMastodaoine @rugby

Both sides still looking for another score. You love to see it.

#LEIvCON #URC #rugby #RugbyMastodaoine @rugby

Great dummy from Ngatai to generate that break. And I just love watching Baird at full speed.

Leinster didn’t capitalise on Carty’s yellow #LEIvCON

Time for Leinster to put this beyond doubt with a yellow for Carty.

Pretty evenly matched in that furiously paced first half.

Leinster somewhat rattled in the lineout are nonetheless making hay through the backs, and Connacht while giving away too many penalties are taking their chances very well in the 22.

A hugely enjoyable first 40.

#LEIvCON #URC #rugby #RugbyMastodaoine @rugby

Interesting first half, Leinster look hungry but lineout levelling things up and Connacht centres doing really well up the middle so a good bit of work still to be done.

#LEIvCON #URC #rugby #RugbyMastodaoine @rugby

The ref is absolutely gasping, and I don't blame him. This is a *very* high tempo game.

#LEIvCON #URC #rugby #RugbyMastodaoine @rugby

Brilliant exploitation of a half gap on the wing by Larmour. The difference between sides at the top end.

#LEIvCON #URC #rugby #RugbyMastodaoine @rugby

The Leinster pack should be furious losing anything to those hairstyles. Absolutely horrendous.😮‍💨 #LEIvCON

Bit crazy Connacht not competing for that line out and taking the drive considering they've had us in toast there till now.

Delighted for Deeny

#LEIvCON

@rugby

A well spotted pillar gap gets Deeny over the line.
