At last Glasgow's scrum dominance gets a penalty

[Torquemada 1420]

Boudehent's made some good defensive interventions in difficult looking positions.

Nichol's desperation is pitiful to hear sometimes. "They've still got time" - 19 point defecit and 10 minutes left to play.

Assume you mean Pierre (wing)? Interesting player. Could have a very good club career but unlikely to be intl material.

Yeah, number 11. Hadn't clocked there were two players with that surname in the side, related presumably?

Re: the bolded, every club can do with a few of those types.

[sockwithaticket]

Interested to see how La Rochelle manage these last 5 while 2 men down.

It's easy when the opposition are bleeding penalties

[Torquemada 1420]

Good play by LaR with 13. ASM would have kicked the ball away.

Yes. Brothers.

[Tichtheid]

La Roch worthy winners, after their early pressure they took advantage of their opponents' mistakes. Glasgow almost worked their way back into the game but there is a soft underbelly there, two weeks in a row they've capitulated somewhat.

[Jim Lahey]

Can someone run me through likely KO round and permutations for today's games?

[C69]

Ospreys taking the piss and picking a team.
Sale should win by 45 at least

[ASMO]

Jono Ross is a fucking liability, Sale need to dump him asap

[sockwithaticket]

Yeah if were a DoR he'd be on my fucking blacklist for recruitment. There's almost no amount you can do on the field that compensates for the continual loss of territory, possession and points that results from his constant stream of penalties and cards.

[C69]

Questioning the knock on?

[sockwithaticket]

Questioning the knock on?

He thinks it went backwards? Only possible reason.

Team mates out wide will be seething that he didn't pass it. Easily the most pointless du Preez in Sale's ranks.

He is a net negative player quite a big defecit too.

[ASMO]

3 tries bombed, all by Saffers

[dkm57]

Ok, Sale will probably win this at a canter but FFS 20 mins in and they've butchered clear chances time after time through knuckleheads trying to charge the line while there's been massive overlaps out wide.

No dog in this fight but it's surprisingly frustrating to watch even for a neutral.

[Paddington Bear]

Putting up shelves is looking increasingly attractive… dreadful game

[sockwithaticket]

When does Schoenert call it a day? Seems to be a player who constantly gets injured.

[ASMO]

That was superb by Rodd

[Paddington Bear]

Fair play, that’s much better

[sockwithaticket]

That was superb by Rodd

The sort of thing that gets front row union cards revoked.

[C69]

Curry in from the side?

[Torquemada 1420]

Connacht looking surprisingly brittle but thicko Latu gets them out of jail by getting carded for being a dim thug and try chalked off.

I just don't get it in these days of performance coaches, analysts etc Just how TF anyone bothers with players like Ross, Lavanini or Julien Bardy.

[ASMO]

Both teams showing Bath levels of competance.

[Torquemada 1420]

Paris get outside Paddies way too easily to score that try considering playing with 14 men. Interesting how bad the Irish look on plastic.

[ASMO]

Just watched that Ross clearout again, absolutely thuggish, braindead behaviour, the ball was well won already and about to be passed out. There was no threat to the ball yet he comes in and completely wipes out the Ospreys player for no reason, no gain. Personally it was a yellow card for me.

Latu clear didn't feel like playing any more today.

Barnes is the wrong ref to swear at; Red Card

Meantime, thicko Latu has only just come back on after his yellow....... to be redded. Total w*nk*r.

What did he do?

He was pinged by Barnes for being off feet. Nothing more than a pen. So he swore at Barnes who immediately sent him off.

Ah, that makes sense: I thought Barnes was being very harsh there on the second yellow. But my audio was turned low....

First time I've heard the commentators apologizing for the bad language; when the Ref was the offender

Latu told Barnes to, "Fuck Off", when he pinged him

[fishfoodie]

Connacht get the BP Try

20 - 31 with 18mins to go

[Torquemada 1420]

He actually said "You're breaking my f**king balls".

I think he said both, the Fuck Off first, I didn't catch the 2nd one that you did; regardless, Barnes definately isn't the ref to say it to

Well, let's hope the dim ***t gets a long ban to think about it.

[Torquemada 1420]

Connacht looking even odds to bottle it for the second week on the trot!

{EDIT} Change that. Now odds on.
