Could be game of the round for entertainment value, this one. Bristol look fearless right now and, while you'd still bet on Leinster every time, you'd say they have more than a puncher's chance.

Bristol will no doubt go for it but probably the best they can hope for is to bloody the nose of Leinster. There's a good £2m of annual salary on the Leinster bench.

I don’t know who runs Bristol’s social but they’re bloody good at their job.

That Leinster bench is ridiculous.

Bristol will do well to get a BP.

I hope this is super competitive

Hopefully the leinster press is kept onside

Larmour is a committed tackler but a poor defender that's who Bristol will target especially without keenan and his excellent last man tackles

Leinster with 3 Irish international fly half in their match day 23…..

Prendergast and Mccarthy could both have had yellows

Mccarthy was clear cut imo

Not seen the whole thing but the Leinster bench making all the difference.
