Harpin' On Rugby

I'm going to let the rest of social media focus on Leinster's negatives for this toot because we know they will. Fact is, we were posed a problem and we cracked it. That won the match, Ringer's awesomeness provided the polish. Many lessons learned from this pool phase despite insane points diff. Matches will get more difficult, but we can raise our game too. Bring it on.

@HarpinOnRugby Racing posed us questions, and put us under pressure, and that's what we need.
Ringrose is giving a masterclass on playing 13 every week, on both sides of the ball.

@andbyrne1 his leadership too. pretty sure he's the heir to Johnny for the provincial armband at least

@HarpinOnRugby Absolutely, it seems like a quiet style of leadership, but it's working well.

@HarpinOnRugby @rugby The bench made a significant impact with key areas improved on from first half. There will be sterner tests than Racing going forward, so will need to answer questions faster than we did today. I remember when people thought of Leinster as a third quarter team (when we’d impose ourselves on opposition). Seems to be taking longer now

@HarpinOnRugby A good win against a motivated Racing team
Ringrose was fantastic, as were O'Brien and Keenan.
When they put the ball across the field Leinster looked very dangerous. Scrum is still a concern but they sorted the discipline issues in the second half.

@HarpinOnRugby @rugby Can't (and wouldn't want to) argue with this. I commented during the match that we needed a challenge during the group stages at some point!
