Huge result away. Congrats @leinsterrugby excellent performance.@GlasgowWarriors suffered from all the injuries.#GLAvLEI #ChampionsCup— Reggie Corrigan (@reggiecorrigan1) October 21, 2017
Wow! Just wow. I would have been reasonably happy with a losing BP today but this was sensational. You'll have to go a long way to get a better result in Europe this weekend. Sextons try was a thing of beauty. More than a happy Leinster fan today.

Boooom! Bonus point secured— #RugbyLeinster (@RugbyLeinster_) October 21, 2017
Wonderful performance. Rhys Ruddock exceptional, along with Sexton
Conor Murphy
Feel for Glasgow.
Unbeaten in the #PRO14 but that's their #ChampionsCup season pretty much over already.— The Loose Head 🏉 (@TheLooseH) October 21, 2017
That is a damn fine result. Again, a performance not without its issues but very impressive forward play throughout & trademark Leinster ruthlessness when even the tiniest chink of light opened up. Whilst Rhys utterly earned his MOM award, a massive shout out to Scott Fardy who looks a real quality acquisition. Not easy to put in a performance of that quality when sleep-deprived 👶

Good stuff Leinster! Bonus point win! 💙💙💙— Hazel Brown (@sparkyhaze) October 21, 2017
Terrific performance. Bonus point was cherry on top.
And with O'Brien, Ringrose and Lowe to come...exciting stuff!

High hopes for Glasgow in Europe this season but rapidly shattering. Rennie at least has seen the issues first hand, that continue.— Scottish Rugby Blog (@ScotRugbyBlog) October 21, 2017
Great win, but still not convinced by our defence.

Professional execution. #4TBPW #GLAvLEI pic.twitter.com/rFme3a9Wkj— Leinster PAGuy (@LeinsterPAGuy) October 21, 2017
A much improved lineout and a solid maul, it's the little gains that all add up. A perfect 10 from our opening two matches, who could ask for more.

.@leinsterrugby humming along nicely - varying Attack options, backs and forwards working collectively, all good. Now...the jersey..🤔— Colin Moran (@CollieCoaching) October 21, 2017
Outstanding performances all around.

Savage win by @leinsterrugby !!!! What a start to the season! Well done all!! pic.twitter.com/ybagyZiC06— Keego (@nkeegan) October 21, 2017
Our defence and the return of our lineout yips had my heart in my mouth, but aside from that we looked very good, maul is a weapon, scrum is a rock and while our backs weren't as flashy as Glasgow, they did the job. Bring on Exeter.

Job done! Well done @leinsterrugby 👏— Clodagh Coffey (@clodaghjane) October 21, 2017
Still some work to do on D and line out (though that's improved considerably). Right negativity over. Other than that this was an incredibly professional performance and with JS and then RB a lesson in game management against a very talented Warriors side. A word on our coaching team who clearly got their tactics right. A BPW at Scotstoun...feckin' awesome 😊🏉🔵☘️

Away bonus point win in Glasgow? I’ll take that!! Healy, Sexton and Ruddock outstanding! JVDF solid as always! #GLAvLEI— Doireann (@doireannmcgrath) October 21, 2017
You can really see this team coming together and playing the way Leo wants the game played, this was a outstanding win with the bonus point
Odran John OBrien
Leinster patient and efficient in the red zone (am I allowed to use that term?)— James Halligan (@jameshalligan) October 21, 2017
Delighted with the result and while there will always be things to work on there's a lot of positives to be taken from that result. Lads worked very hard for that and deserved all 5 points!
Conor Cronin
5 points in Glasgow? That'll do. #GLAvLEI pic.twitter.com/hjU8sPUqNQ— Conor Sharkey (@conor_sharkey) October 21, 2017
We can still play so much better so on that basis alone it's very promising. The backline still has Lowe and Ringrose to fit in!
Cormac Mannion
Brilliant win @leinsterrugby A bonus point win in those conditions, on that pitch, huge. Could be massive by the end of this pool. 👕👍🏈— Kevin Kennedy (@DublinKev) October 21, 2017
A great result and some superb game management at times. Ruddock was really solid as well as Healey and Fardy. Only worry was the (at times) ease that Warriors ran through us and the missed tackle count each week needs addressing. An awesome start to Europe though. V pleased 😎😎😎

Leinster come away with a 34-18 BP win in Glasgow this afternoon 💪🔵 #GLAvLEI #ChampionsCup pic.twitter.com/b9lkArGGr5— Republic of Rugby (@RepOfRugby) October 21, 2017
The lessons of last season have been learnt, it seems. First an abrasive pack to grind the opposition down, then the flash stuff - in that order. Lots of work, particularly in defence, but still it was an impressive outing from the BIB. Delyra for Ciano the two tries: respect!!!!

Great game edge of the seat stuff for most of it I love games like that #GLAvLEI— Edel Bethel (@bethele2011) October 21, 2017
That'll do nicely.

Coming away with nothing from what, in theory, should've been our most competitive home game is a bit of a disaster. #GLAvLEI— Jonny McGinty (@spacemanjonny) October 21, 2017
The Leinster away jersey is 2nd only to Charlton Athletics away jersey
