Schmidt fumes as Blues fail to kick on

Ospreys 19 Leinster 10

Schmidt was particularly disappointed with the performance of Lacey at the scrums where Leinster, who appeared to have the upper hand, were thwarted time and again by the Munster official’s whistle.

Schmidt said: “We are incredibly frustrated. We thought we had the dominant scrum but the referee didn’t see it that way. It reached the stage where even when we were going forward three or more yards, the penalty went the other way.”
