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.
Leinster moving up a gear. Well taken tries. Left themselves a bit open for the Ospreys tries, otherwise a good showing especially in the first half with some great rugby played. The boys are back.

Very well deserved MOTM @joshvdf #LEIvOSP @leinsterrugby

A good night. Lots of positive. Had a game plan and stuck to it. Good to see us playing like a team - team celebrations after each try were good to see, and suggest a shared focus and desire to succeed. Early days but is the Lancaster influence starting to show?
Andrew Bailey
Good stuff. BP for us, nothing for them. That's what it's all about. #LEIvOSP

Some great determination from the lads, kicking for the corner almost every opportunity, showing a desire to not only win, but score tries to do so. It was great to watch a team going for it rather than just kicking penalties. It meant an offloading style of rugby that can only be good for the lads. Disappointing to see us leak the tries we did, partially due to (what looked tron the north stand) a harsh "final warning" yellow card on Johnny, but massive positives to take from this. If we tidy up the line-out we will be playing some cracking rugby!

Full-time at the RDS. It's finished @leinsterrugby 31, @ospreys 19. Pick the bones out of that one!

Plenty of positives for @leinsterrugby and plenty of work-ons.

Some shaky moments in the second half but that was likeky down to the Ospreys having the extra man. Leinster seem to not be letting too much in during the second half anymore, already a huge improvement on previous games.

@leinsterrugby you had to beat @PRO12rugby ref and @ospreys and they were both DURTY as it gets #LEIvOSP

Great first half poor second half. I'm worried about how many poor second halves we have had over the last year. Still tho happy with the BP. Had they have scored one more try they would have gotten 2 BPs which would have been a serious disappointment
Shane O' Brien
No, no, no, no.
We can nail a 1st half with the best of them. Seriously need to change how we do 2nds. https://t.co/ypHt6rmbZ9— Leinster PAGuy (@LeinsterPAGuy) September 23, 2016
Pretty good but once again Leinster went a little soft rather then killing them off to make it a 40 pointer. So the Ospreys last feeling will be another ten mins on the clock and we might have got them. In a tighter match, who knows?
Andrew Potts
The second half Ospreys were more like I expected but the overall result was spot on. Five well-earned points. #COYBIB
