Yeah. Obviously I want LaR to win primarily for the lolz, but that was a bonkers call at the scrum.

Re: Not Heineken Cup 23/24

Fair play, I didn't think much would top Leinster fans singing allez les bleus for cringe, but having the stadium announcer lead them through a mediocre version of the Viking clap is up there

Re: Not Heineken Cup 23/24

Holy shit :lol:

That was feeling a lot like the premiership final game, just two high quality teams slugging it out until the very end with some superb scores.

Superb performance, superb result. Incredibly proud of that.

Fin Baxter, Will Collier... Wow.

Re: Not Heineken Cup 23/24

This times headline makes it seem like they're accusing the Bulls for sure, but the article shows it's people within SA rugby saying it.

Re: Not Heineken Cup 23/24

The English press have come out slating the Bulls for sending a B team. But obviously it's fine when other teams do it, like Lyon did last week. I hope the Bulls smash the Saints. Have they really.

Munster with a quality response. This is a great match already.

That's all she wrote. I get that Doris is hugely rated but the times I've been able to see both of them play, Conan has always impressed me far more. Hell of a player.

Re: Not Heineken Cup 23/24

We'll probably give it a lash and score some comedy tries and concede some comedy tries. We always do better than I expect against the big French sides away from home - no pressure, just jouer jouer I guess. Little chance of victory, and we may well cop a hiding anyway.

To be fair, both Goode and Daly have also been pretty soft at times.

Saracens did well for the first 35 to stay in the fight but they haven't offered much quality, once players start falling off tackles it's all over

Amused by Flatman continually blowing smoke up Barbeary's arse regardless of effectiveness, leading up to that howler. Still bigging him up after.
