If what we saw tonight in terms of offloading, should be a great season ahead.

Dear Wales, be careful what you wish for. #LEIvDRA— Killian Byrne (@killianbyrne) September 15, 2018
Great game. Great team. Great result

Any time there's 50+ on the board it's a good day at the office. Whiskey has been immense since we all wrote him off half way through last season. O'Sullivan was really good when he came on and jvdf is a cyborg
The lads looked fit, had decent scrap about them and performed well. Still more oil to be added but 3 games in, I'll take that

Did fine, few line out misfires, overall happy with result.

Tough afternoon for @dragonsrugby as expected. Leinster blew us away. Far too much power and pace. Still, Cudd & Wainwright were good and an early try of the season contender from Jordan Williams. Hopefully Amos' injury isn't as bad as it looked #LEIvDRA— Jamie Phillips (@JPGwent) September 15, 2018
JGP confounds one of his biggest critics, me. He had an excellent game and was well worthy of MoM award. Much better 2nd half performance especially when Furlong came on, fantastic player

Loving this @leinsterrugby performance. Great team play. Looking like they’re getting the form back that they finished last season with. #Leinster #LEIvDRA #COYBIB— Phil Donohue (@PhilDonohue1) September 15, 2018
That's what we have come to expect from Leinster. Brilliant.

Expected a heavy defeat against Leinster with the side the champions put out, but 50+ points hard to take (possible serious injury to Amos too) and it piles the pressure on for the Zebre game next week— Robin Davey (@robindavey01) September 15, 2018
Great run out & team are starting to fire on all cylinders

Some minor misfires. Mainly around the lineout. Some dubious calls from the officials and it could have been closer to 70pts.
Shame Jackmans project still isn’t firing. Some more energy and passion and they’ll start troubling teams.

JGP a deserved MOTM but since I'm in initialising form, a special mention for JvdF. A stunning return for a serious injury. Looked like he was never away. An absolute tackling machine, ripped more balls than hopping a barbed wire fence & produced more turnovers than a Scottish bakery.

Jamison Gibson-Park has a well deserved man of the match for today’s performance. Here’s one of his tries for @leinsterrugby #LEIvDRA pic.twitter.com/VnB4Ry1pzK— Alastair McDermott (@AMcDermott) September 15, 2018
Embarrassingly, my first game in the RDS. What a stadium! Cracking experience and what a match to start out with! Some really stunning rugby played. Tomane and JGP both overcoming people's doubts and Furlong was terrifying
Lee O Farrell
Good performance, but still plenty to improve which is a good place to be. Gibson Park had a very good game. #LEIvDRA— David McGovern (@daveo_irl) September 15, 2018
Was really worried about JGP for the first 25 minutes. He hesitated a lot and faltered but eventually found his feet. Hope he starts better next time.

"There wasn't much in it" - Bernard Jackman's take on Ross Moriarty's yellow #LEIvDRA— Seán McMahon (@Sean_McMahon89) September 15, 2018
All played well. JGP, Josh VDF & Jack Conan were immense, Tadhg too when he came on. Some of the passing was a joy to watch 💙🏉

🇮🇪 Leinster 52-10 Dragons 🏴Nobody will be surprised by that result. Leinster are still the ones to beat in this competition and have so much strength in depth. #LEIvDRA— The Rugby Club (@_TheRugbyClub) September 15, 2018
Line out was poor but that’s the end of the complaints. Nice to see Josh back and lots of flashes from the rest. JGP deservedly MOM.
