This is a low.
Not quite sure what to say about the Leinster result.
Absolutely destroyed by Wasps.

And in a season of disaster for the former European champions Leinster, Leo Cullen’s side appeared to sink to new depths this afternoon with a 51-10 loss to Wasps.
An early injury to Johnny Sexton indicated it was going to be a very tough day in the Champions Cup against the Premiership side, and so it proved.
Former Leinster outhalf Jimmy Gopperth opened up the wound early on, and he kept pouring salt into the pus covered sore as Leinster slumped to a huge loss at the Ricoh Arena this afternoon
Leinster had nowt to play for but that's a humiliating display and score line. Record Euro loss and -1st time conceding 50+ since 98/99

It’s hoped Sexton will be ok after taking a knock to the head early in the game that may be a concern for Joe Schmidt, while there was also bad news for Ireland’s front row options as Marty Moore was withdrawn late in the game.
More bad news for @leinsterrugby as Marty Moore is helped off the pitch injured, 39-10, 63 mins #WASvLEIN

Fans were stunned by the pathetic display and took to Twitter afterwards to vent their ire firstly at the players

There are no words to describe how awful Leinster have been. Many names in big trouble.

Then anger turned to Leo Cullen, the Leinster head coach

And Leinster fans feel one man only is right for the job
@leinsterrugby MUST go after Conor O'Shea in the summer, they are worse now than under Matt O'Connor. This was embarrassing to watch.

Ah here… @leinsterrugby get Conor O'Shea on the phone
