2022/23 Champions/Challenge Cup

[JM2K6]

That's Exeter of old, superb control, discipline, and decision making sees them carry it all the way to the line. Well done Yeandle, makes up for the howler earlier.

Kick to win it !

[OomStruisbaai]

[JM2K6]

Great underdog win. And to be fair that's the best I've seen them play for a while. Great game tbh, plenty of adventure considering the two teams involved.

What's the deciding factor to Exeter winning there?

How does this shower qualify for a home 1/4?

[OomStruisbaai]

The other teams will be happy as Exeter are a bit shite. Not total shite just the wrong side of it

Stormers next. Going be tough as hell. But they need to get use playing the big ones up north

[JM2K6]

Ospreys with the opening try after Farrell misses a simple midfield tackle. Ospreys offloading and playing with pace. Saracens strike back immediately with a pen at the kick off leading to a maul that seems to have been grounded.

[JM2K6]

Not grounded.

George then bombs a try after excellent attacking by Farrell with excellent carries from others too. Looks like they're up for this.

[sockwithaticket]

Was hoping that Bulls Toulouse might be a bit of a treat, but it's started to rain pretty heavily.

How does this shower qualify for a home 1/4?

Because of their result against the French shower

[JM2K6]

Tompkins throws an intercept, Saracens miss tackles en masse, and Tipuric's break is eventually finished off by the impressive Williams.

[SaintK]

Could definitely be an upset here as per my earlier post
Ospreys playing very well

[JM2K6]

Saracens looking pretty rattled. Farrell bombs a great opportunity by knocking on 5m out when going for the line himself

Saracens scrum bails them out though

[JM2K6]

The New Gibbs is binned, a little harshly, for a borderline call when trying to turn over Earl (who's been good so far)

[JM2K6]

Not sure if Malins has scored that but that's a great effort in contact, he had to go through several people to score that.

Ospreys scrum is losing them this game.

Bulls doing better than expected

[Jim Lahey]

Not sure about that one.

Welsh fans showing their class shouting CHEAT at the ref

[Dinsdale Piranha]

"Always in control of the ball" "Downward pressure"

Neither of these things are true

This is a worse than usual case of homer ref.

[SaintK]

Just seen the red, that’s very weak

Edit: but a very careless position to get himself in

Just seen it was Mercer red carded
What was it for

Playing for a Fre side with the cheating b*stard Brace in charge

Just looked to see what the fuss was about. Actually think it was fair enough. Would be pissed if that was ruled out for my team.

Don't think he lost the ball and his thumb's applying the pressure for me.

[Torquemada 1420]

ChocolateBars has hands like tits so far.

[Paddington Bear]

Looked a try on the big screen.

Pretty tasty on and off the pitch, Sarries were rattled but hopefully settled now.

[Torquemada 1420]

ChocolateBars has hands like tits so far.

And now gives away a dim pen.

Thanks I take it was well deserved then
Another ref you think is a cheat
How many is that now

Brace is a cheat, plan and simple when it comes to reffing Fre sides.

[Bullet]

The twat with the drum making Sarries even more unlikeable

[JM2K6]

Mako having a stormer. Billy having a flipper handed stinker.

Some more weird decision making at times so far by Saracens. Farrell deciding at the last second to not kick return but instead pass to an isolated Maitland who immediately got turned over was the latest.

Lots of inaccuracy today.

[Torquemada 1420]

Bulls tackler unlucky there. He made too good a job of it and ended up getting Lebel's legs into the air.

Toulouse starting to pull away now

26 - 9

Cheating c**t who should never be permitted to ref any game again involving a Fre team.

[JM2K6]

Ospreys 20-13 up now after picking off a Billy Vunipola pass for an intercept and getting an eventual penalty.

Saracens getting picked off at will at the breakdown, too.

No you’re the cunt
You really shouldn’t watch rugby

[JM2K6]

Lovely work by Goode, albeit poorly defended by Ospreys. All square now.

Toulouse starting to pull away now

26 - 9

Bulls fading badly second half
Can't understand why they were not awarded a scrum penalty before that last T try

Because Carley got it wrong and having already called use it, the scrum was technically over. I'd have been p*ssed if that had gone against Toulouse.
