Online comments after Benetton v Leinster

A selection of the “keyboard warrior” reactions after the full-time whistle of our featured matches of the weekend.

If you’d like to contribute stay tuned to our Facebook page for our “Feel free to leave your thoughts…” posts which show up around full time after Leinster & Ireland matches.

Not a classic, good professional performance with a BP away from home. Tomane still looks a bit off the pace but hopefully his try might give him a bit confidence.

Colin Campbell
stop stop he's already dead!

Peter Breen
Crap game, great result.

Derek Tormey
There is no such thing as a bad BP away win. Great result for Leinster.

Paul Smith
Solid, professional performance. Treviso showed nothing going forward but were decent in defence. Bp win is a great result. Coybib

Alan Whelan
A good workmanlike performance in difficult conditions agaiunst a Treviso side that threatened but ultimately don't have the strength in depth especially with key players away in Chicago. Leinster did what they needed to do. Glad Tomane got a try. He'll come good........

Joe Sheppard
Not great conditions but excellent result away and a banana skin avoided.

Dave Murray
All the marbles....job done!

Andrew Byrne
Rob? Hope injury isn’t too bad 🤞🏼

Audrey Hevey
It was never going to be a classic with both teams resting players and the weather conditions - always good to take 5 points away from a fellow Conference B team 💙

Jim Kelly
Many thanks to all who offered opinions.
