(not a lot to choose from this week, wasn't much a match to comment on, to be fair!)

Paul Smith A professional job done against a decent side. Very scrappy at times, with the constant scrum resets and Whitehouse been Whitehouse but Leinster know how to win and proved it again today. Larmour looked bad, hopefully he's ok but didn't look great the way he went off. Ross is turning into a machine off the tee and well deserved his MOM.

Great @PRO14Official second round win @leinsterrugby! It was a difficult match at times with all the non functioning scrums and restarts. #BENvLEI #GuinnessPRO14 #Rugby

Conor Cronin Priority was to get a win, job done. Beneton have really improved their level throughout their time in this competition, but at times dragged leinster down to their level, forced us to play their way. In glad we've got the BP, scored some good tries, worked hard at defense. Lots of positives to take away from it.

On Whitehouse, he gets most of the big calls right, the problem is how he misses the little things, like Keenan not being allowed to get up before the Beneton man tackled him, and this led to huge pressure on leinster and an eventual try.

Hard luck @BenettonRugby you were only one or two passes away from winning. Very few teams will beat you at home this season. #BENvLEI

Noel Hewson Always a tough game. Good BP win hope Larmour injury is not too serious. Penalty count still a concern but they continue to win in spite of it.

The MVPs of the #BENvLEI match today were the fans at the game. They cheered non stop from start to finish. It was great to watch a match again with real cheering and chanting rather than all that fake crowd crap. It made a good game even better. Pity about the result. pic.twitter.com/mRFqV40pll

Alan Murphy Time heals all wounds. We eventually grind most teams down.

I often wonder if Mr Whitehouse had an Italian gf who treated him badly and if that's why he takes it out on Benetton. #pro14 #benvlei

Denis Mcnamara Zzzzzzzz

Can't complain about 5 points from whatever that was! We deserved the win, maybe a bit fortunate to get the BP, maybe Benetton deserved one. Bench did well for us I thought, otherwsie didn't learn too much. Biggest worry is the injuries. #BENvLEI
