Horrific refereeing I thought, but sure we're used to that in the pro 12/14. Aside from that, no atmosphere or anything due to lack of fans.
There was a scrum penalty against Healy where the ref said he saw him clearly drop his bind. The replay clearly showed the S.A. player let go of his bind, while Healy held his.
Then for Carberys disallowed try, he gave a knock on against Healy(which it was). But the reason it was knocked on was because the S.A. player had tipped the pass with an outstretched hand, deliberately knocking on. Ref gave a scrum to Kings...
The before the Kings try, there was a penalty given against Larmour for holding the player back. The replay clearly showed the Kings player put his left arm around Larmour first.
It was all irrelevant to the result, but what is wrong with their eyesight?

Thus ends one of the most underwhelming and insipid sporting events I've ever attended pic.twitter.com/kbcElmy7iM— Rúaidhrí O'Connor (@RuaidhriOC) September 16, 2017
15 from 15 is great, but we're taking an awful long time to put away poor opposition. The opposition starts getting tougher from here on.

@edbyrne11 great on 1st start, @Jordimurphy back in style & @nreid90 with BODesque game but my MOTM is the ridiculously brave @LukeMcGrath93— Miriam Collins (@MiriamCol) September 16, 2017
More lads on the pitch than in the stand

Shaky first 40. Much improved second. We seriously missed Isa.

Woeful spectacle. Delighted with 5 points but still... https://t.co/scYJ3BLIpV— frånk (@Prunch22) September 16, 2017
Outstanding win on our first trip to Sth Africa plus a bonus point you can't ask for any more
Odran John OBrien
Nice bonus point win, fair play to .@rugbyskings1 they gave a decent game. We were too strong in the end. 👏🏼— #RugbyLeinster (@RugbyLeinster_) September 16, 2017
A solid second half but we really should have a bit more bite about us. We need to show more ruthlessness to sides like these, they should be dreading playing us. Having said that we have taken 3 wins from 3, two of them away from home, if we can take another scalp next weekend then that's a great start to the season before we get our big guns back.

Noel Reid man of the match!! #KINvLEI— Doireann (@doireannmcgrath) September 16, 2017
Can't understand why anyone is complaining. A BP win away from home after a long trip to S.A. is nothing to be sniffed at. We weren't at the top of our game but like last week a 10 minute blitz and job done. 15 points from 15 is a brilliant start and long may it continue. Cronan and McGrath both superb, ref not so much. Happy Leinster fan today !
Lot of young guys getting some good expirience and some of the bigger names will have a battle on their hands to get their Jersey back none more so than Heaslip, as Conan has been immense so far this season and Luke McGrath just gets better every game. This year is going to end with silverware, it's been too long since we put another trophy in our cabinet.
Paul Smith
Congratulations on the win. Good luck for the rest of the season https://t.co/DdRwKh8YCm— #RugbySouthernKings (@rugbyskings1) September 16, 2017
That was a solid workmanlike performance. Not exciting rugby but solid! Lads I think we need to get our heads around the reality that THIS team will very the norm for large parts of the season with Autumn Internationals, 6 Nations, Injuries, Player Mgmt etc etc...... I'm looking forward to a more stronger test as the weeks go on but a happy Leinster lad so far. 😎😎😎

Job done in that 10 minute purple patch. Here's hoping the Cheetahs make for a more interesting game. #KINvLEI— Kino (@RugbyKino) September 16, 2017
Joey Carbery has the potential to be a World Class out half. He has no chance of becoming that playing full back as a stop gap measure. The next time he plays out half he will start feeling pressure to perform. Leinster would probable be better converting Marsh to full back. This continues and it will be Ian Madigan all over again.
Andrew Potts
And the Southern Kings crowd (all 17 of them) can cheer about something. #leinsterrugby— Jenny Murphy (@jennymurphy045) September 16, 2017
Delighted bout the result. One thing's for sure though: we're never gonna win any silverware with a malfunctioning line out!!!
Riocard Ó Tiarnaigh
I'm actually glad to see the @SouthernKingsSA making real progress week by week, that defense was measurably better today! ⚡️🕺🏽👌🏽#KINvLEI— Bradley The Boy 🚀 (@BradleyChauke) September 16, 2017
We remain disjointed in attack, and yet have 3 bonus point wins from 3.
Our defence is great, quick and aggressive line speed. And our setpiece is very strong, scrum in particular .

The @SouthernKingsSA and '10 points' in each game is a habit - third game in a row #KINvLEI #GUINNESSPRO14— Menzi Kulati (@menzikulati) September 16, 2017
Lads SA were playing the all blacks this morning and got hammered. I wouldn't be running out to watch another hammering after that
Chris McDonnell
Job done. Some well worked tries and mostly solid D. If Cheetahs match goes exactly the same way I'm a happy fan. #KINvLEI #COYBIB— Harpin' On Rugby 🏉 (@HarpinOnRugby) September 16, 2017
