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.
Andrew Potts A young team of useful enthusiasm and deadly intent. Fardy hopefully will stay a year or two more his contrabution to these young players is goldust. Yes they are killing teams but you see the process and desire as the entire squad are playing so well.
*Angus Fleming Scott Fardy has to stay another year... awesome influence on these lads
Leinster destroying Glasgow in some style ... what a conveyor belt ! #leivgla— Gavin Highlife (@FMRadioGavin) February 28, 2020
Richard Mifsud Imperious. Although we had won recent matches we hadn’t played well. Tonight, the intent was obvious. It bodes well for the big matches, which this was. The bookies had it at an 11 point win for us and I thought this was disrespectful to the Warriors. Aren’t I glad I was wrong. At times it was like our boys were on a different planet...and there were a lot of kids on display!!! Thoroughly entertaining display and barring a few mistakes, which I’m sure Leo & Co will pick up on, nigh on perfect 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #COYBIB Oh and Baird/Ryan combo anyone?
*Hilda Bensworth Ok so in the last few years michaels have produced dan leavy, max deegan, penny, james ryan and ryan bard. As a back five. INSANE.
Glasgow made 550+ tackles in last 160 minutes away v Leinster— Russ Petty (@rpetty80) February 28, 2020
Conor Cronin How wrong was I today. I thought this was going to be so much closer. Leinster were awesome tonight. And after questioning earlier if Ryan Baird is the real deal he goes out and shows a hat-trick.
That team once again working hard for each other and not wanting to give up anything. They were just outstanding.

*Sandra Seery Ryan Baird. Bring him to the French match. Amazing
This is painful to watch. Leinster a cut above in every sense. Absolutely unstoppable.— The Pen (@thepenGW) February 28, 2020
Andrew Bailey 7 Home Pro14 matches and 342 points scored. It should be entertaining but it’s not We need competition. This is no preparation for our next home match v Saracens. You can only stuff what’s put in front of you - but the quality in the League is a concern
*Philip Gopal We may just have witnessed the future of Irish rugby
The ceiling for this Leinster squad is pretty high. That wasn’t a bad Glasgow side tonight but they were blown away.— Ian Frizzell (@rava_ian) February 28, 2020
Good night for @UlsterRugby
Noel Hewson Well 9 tries scored with two hat tricks and serious performance from both of the second rows. All good.
*Mike Charnock Can't help but think Leinster need a stronger league to compete in
Glasgow, like a lot of other teams, just didn’t have anything for Leinster physically. Too many lost colisions, too many mistakes - you won’t beat any version of Leinster like that #LEIvGLA— Three Red Kings (@threeredkings) February 28, 2020
Kevin Kelehan Trouble at mill is in the national camp not at Leinster!
*Hammer Hogan Well done my magnificent boys in blue. The 3peat is getting closer and closer. I am Leinster for Life. I am also club over country. To many leinster players are chossen for Ireland. The other provinces need to contribute more. Not fair.
P Horne, Jones, Grigg and a few others have had shockers, including Owens. That was as bad as we could have been. Leinster's thirds and they put 50 points on us. Come on guys you need to be better than that. #LEIvGLA— David Begg (@dadbegg) February 28, 2020
Pádraig Turley Baird looks the real deal.
*Peter Coleman Difficult to dissect this result as Glasgow Warriors are an excellent team, suffice to say this is how Rugby should be played. Speechless in Blue.
#LEIvGLA Some hat-trick from @boringkearney Dave K, could he be the next Ryan Baird?— Colm Faulkner (@ColmFaulkner) February 28, 2020
Derek McGee Ryan Baird. Madre de Dios, what a player.
*Kevin Doran What a performance 'Harlem Globetrotters' esq, brilliant by everyone all 23 andcoaching staff as well
Are Baird and Kearney going to have to have an arm-wrestling competition for the matchball?? 🤨 #LEIvGLA— Grace O'Sullivan (@gosulli) February 28, 2020
Tom Clarke Conveyor Belt...!
*Damien Gallagher Delighted to see the pace to break the gain line.. The fantastic hands in the off load back to our best.. Would love to see Ireland go the Leinster way
Leinster 55 - 19 Glasgow— The Loose Head (@TheLooseH) February 28, 2020
Utter dominance from Leinster from the off.
A hat trick from Baird earns him the MOTM and helps Leinster win the bragging rights.
Glasgow's three tries, though, were fantastic; glimpses of what they're capable of on their day.#LEIvGLA
David Ryle fardy staying is down to the irfu. His contract is up at the end of the season...considering he is mentoring younger players is paying dividends for us.
*Martin O'Donnell Well done Leinster! Ryan Baird!! ...some man for one man! Well done on 3 tries & man of the match! As for the rest, well you make rugby look easy which from painful experience I know is not so! Get in there Leinster, love watching & looking forward to next time I get to watch you live!
Bit like the Ulster game at Christmas - some will bemoan the leaked tries but overall we were always in control. Credit to Glasgow for chasing BP. Ryan Baird just keeps getting better; meanwhile Scott Fardy's value to Leinster simply cannot be measured. #19 #LEIvGLA— Harpin' On Rugby 🏉 (@HarpinOnRugby) February 28, 2020
