HH, did you know a guy called Micky Ireland when you were at the club?
I think you've asked me this before, but no, not off hand, but then I did leave when I was 18 and have an appalling memory for names.

Ah, shame - was thinking he was wearing his big boy pants, doing an interview after losing teeth. That’d have been impressive.

A penalty kicked dead and a kick off out on the full in the first 15 minutes and a penalty conceded for offside.

I'll raise you with Russell's 5 unforced errors resulting in turnovers in 20 mins. :thumbup:

{EDIT}which ultimately results in conceding a try.

Yes but Davies is Welsh so the bar is higher.

Seriously, it's like this every game for Racing. They are offing Thomas and Baubigny to stay within the cap. Should have dumped Russell. Gibert is a perfectly good option for Racing who plays the situation and game in front of him rather than random, slapstick stuff.

Excellent start to the 2nd half by Connacht, YC for Tigers, & immediately get the try

21 - 10

Enjoying Connacht sticking it to Tigers.

If Leicester sorted out their discipline they'd be a lot closer

Ref frames question in way try can't be given but there's no way that was not grounded.

Commentary team on Connacht vs tigers trying very hard to pretend that tigers haven't rested both 1st choice half backs it really isn't that surprising that tigers have lacked control as the step down is significant.

They’ve also cocked up so many opportunities, but a good chance they’ll take this one now I think

Yeah, they've spannered up so many chances. Van poortvliet has added some tempo to Tigers play.

Just watching the Wasps game now. 20 minutes in, a Toulouse player kicks the ball back across the dead ball line whilst lying on the floor. The ref says it's all part of the motion, but the replay clearly shows he falls to the ground when trying to get it in his arms, and whilst on the ground, then lashes out with a foot. That's a penalty try and yellow card surely.

Sh*te reffing. Clear pen to Connacht at the ruck before the try.

Hell of a try. Hell of a game. No idea why the crowd are booing and this carry on from the players is so poor, it was clearly a try.

Connacht tried to kill the game from 60 mins and let Leicester run at them, probably the inevitable outcome

Come on Torq, they clearly thought it was in touch, nothing to do with a marginal breakdown call. The crowd were jubilant because they thought he was in touch even though the foot was about 8 inches off the ground at the point of the replay they started cheering

I thought that, but it passed by with so little incident I thought I'd remembered the law wrong.
