Conor Cronin It's tough when the conditions are anti running rugby. But that's no excuse for some of the poor handling we were subjected to tonight. There's a few players in for a rough video session Monday.

With that said, a BP win is great, it's good to see some players coming back after injury, and here's hoping the team can learn from tonight's mistakes

Sweet. Bonus point in the bag at @TheRDS for @leinsterrugby against the @ospreys after 73 minutes. 🔥

And great to see James Lowe back flying and sidestepping in blue on the wing. The man is box office. 🎬

James Lowe since he came on has been phenomenal! The distance of his kicks have gotten Leinster out of a lot of difficulty at times. #LEIvOSP #URC

Paul Smith Any BP win is a good win, but there's no doubt we left a lot of scores out there tonight . The conditions definitely played a part but so did one or 2 strange xalls by the ref and TMO especially the Peter 'at least 2 feet past the line' Dooley no try call. Still not been too critical, there was some nice play we totally dominated the Ospreys, our defence wss excellent once again, Byrne had a great game at 12 and the James Lowe try was worth the admission price alone. Nice to see Leinster back on top of the table too 😁.

Funny that the scoreline was so similar to the Edinburgh game last week, because last week it didn't reflect how close a game it was and this week it didn't remotely reflect our dominance. Plenty to work on but BP win, job done, bring on the Lions.#LEIvOSP

Irish team beats Welsh team 29-7. Is this Groundhog Day Part Deux? #LEIvOSP

Chris McDonnell Need a decent 9. We have nothing past JGP watching luke Mcgrath trying to throw the ball over the first receivers head is getting a bit boring.

#LEIvOSP conditions not great but unforced errors and game management again not good...take the BP and run...

Gerald Williamson Nice to get the win. Took a while to break down the Ospreys defence. Nice to see familiar faces returning to the match day team.Well done to Harry getting Player of the Match.

To be fair I thought ospreys played well, RDS is a hard place to go! #LEIvOSP
Lydiate looked good also so big plus point for him and ospreys

Not a great result for the Ospreys but I thought we made them work for the majority of their points tonight and we didn’t roll over. When you can bring on Lowe, Ruddock & Cronin off the bench, you’re always going to be up against it out in Dublin.

Andrew Bailey RDS being renamed Tayto Park ?? Too many there to let the kids play with Leo the Lion rather than watching rugby, supporting the team and generate an atmosphere

Result aside, two takeaways from #LEIvOSP

Nicky Smith really should be in the Wales squad. Still of the best scrummaging props in Welsh rugby.

Ospreys have a gem on their hands in Harri Deaves #URC

While it was pretty good watching Leinster take on the Ospreys, the real highlight was seeing my daughter and her GRFC team mates play at half time. pic.twitter.com/LueGgAWYAc

Ted Maher If you read last weeks match report you can skip this weeks one.

More or less the same game.

Defensively, v impressive from start to finish. With the ball, we can cherish that BP on an evening like this. Literally made heavy weather of it considering the dominance but we got there and that's what matters. Thought that sub Lowe did ok off the bench. #LEIvOSP
