Heineken Champions/Challenge Cup 2022 Semi-Finals Weekend

[Torquemada 1420]

Toulouse are NOT shit. Leinster are very good.

That's a fair point, Leinster's defence didn't give them a sniff.

Which is even more galling given the size of the park in Dublin. If Ntamack can't make use of space there, where TF can he take the ball to the line?

With the greatest respect, Leinster had hardly anything to defend, Toulouse ran 1 out plays almost continually, it was a tackle turkeyshoot.

Happy to judge a defence when they actually are challenged, they weren't.

Liebenberg/Reffell/Wiese made Leinster work infinitely harder last week than Elstadt/Cros/Jelonch

Thanks but how do you get passed all the site when on a phone. Unusable right now :-( and I fucking paid for this game!

Thanks Torque, finally battled my way through to have the pleasure of watching the second half with half the pitch obscured by a lady's arse. Not the worst outcome! Cheers!

LOL

I'm using Firefox with an ad blocker so don't see any of that. Maybe I need to turn it off. Would have been better than watching Ntamack.....

I live in Germany and More than Sports TV have been showing a lot of games free. I'm in France at the moment and watched the Leinster Toulouse game no problem. Maybe from UK you need a vpn set for Germany . The other semi is being shown tomorrow. It's always with the BT Sport commentary by the way.

[OomStruisbaai]

Really enjoyed the semi final Leinster vs Toulouse and understand that the Saffer teams are in for one he'll of a battle in this year's URC and next year's Champion League. Also watching this morning Soup which is below the standard of Europe. I think where us can add is with our rush defense specifically the Stormers.

[Tichtheid]

Sergio still has it

[Tichtheid]

Cornell du Preez playing for Toulon, I missed his name in the pre-match stuff.

He had silly pace for a backrower

[bogbunny]

Hard to decide which team I want to lose more!

[Lobby]

You get the feeling there’ll be a few cards dished out before the end of this game.

[Tichtheid]

Good work from Earl, poor from Serin

No where near urgent enjoy

[Tichtheid]

That was a rough pen against Toulon

[Kawazaki]

What does Etzebeth do?

[Tichtheid]

After a really cute pass in the lead up to the Toulon try Sergio is having a bit of a shocker

[Tichtheid]

That was a cracker

[sockwithaticket]

That was a cracker

Yep, gorgeous. Hell of a time to score too.

[Tichtheid]

Goode got away with one there

[sockwithaticket]

Not the first time Farrell's on the wrong side of the ref. Surprised it doesn't happen more often.

[Tichtheid]

Flatman goes from scrum guru to idiot too easily

[Tichtheid]

oh what !

[fishfoodie]

Fabulous try

[Tichtheid]

I can do that, I just choose not to

[sockwithaticket]

What feet!

[fishfoodie]

I can do that, I just choose not to

You're just too kind to embarrass other players like that

[OomStruisbaai]

What does Etzebeth do?

He is having a great game.

[OomStruisbaai]

Try saving tackle from Etzebeth

[sockwithaticket]

I have every sympathy with Ollivon having to interpret that barrage of non-standard English through Brace's accent and while he's blowing out of his arse in the final stages of a bruising fixture.

Refs really need to get better at communicating with ESL players via short, simple sentences with as much standardised phrasing as possible.

[OomStruisbaai]

Etzebeth again on the ball
.

[Tichtheid]

Etzebeth again on the ball

He's been terrific

[OomStruisbaai]

Toulon try their best to fuck this up

+1

[OomStruisbaai]

Finally get there. For how long is Kolbey out?

[OomStruisbaai]

Etzebeth again on the ball
.

He's been terrific

He is going to be a massive asset for the Sharks.

[Uncle fester]

Leinster match was best atmosphere I have been at for a club match since pre-covids. Was great

You didn't get to sing Zombie though, did you?

We won, so we'll gallantly let Munster have that.

Atmosphere was great though.

No sign of La Soule or Frog to comment on Leinster's ruck speed? Commentary calling it "ridiculous" with average being under a second. Where are Jelonch, Cros and Elstadt in slowing this down? Bearing in mind that Baille, Marchand and Dupont are among the best, non back rowers at turnovers in world rugby.

Been busy celebrating my youngest 18th birthday, starting with a brunch that prevented me from seeing more than 15min in passing of the game.

From what I saw it was one way traffic, with the Toulouse players completely spent.

When you win all the collisions in rugby, it becomes easy. And Leinster execution was excellent quality as well.

[Torquemada 1420]

To be honest, doesnt matter who goes through, none of these teams will beat Sarries

Outside bet on Toulon who now they have got rid of most of their injuries, are on an upward arc. Depends though if they give a sh*t about this comp.

Also, like I said, with Ollivon coming back to fitness, Jelonch can f**k off unless he improves markedly.

On a separate note, I hope that finally puts paid to some of the bollox in French quarters questioning Villiere's abilities. Especially when some of that comes from Ntamack supporters.

Good work from Earl, poor from Serin
