Nice win away by Benetton too !

It all helps to build a squad & a spirit within the whole organization.
Benneton is excellent this season.
Newcastle are dogshit but, so it’s not that much of a surprise.
They must be. Benneton will never put up that score in an away match in the URC.

Newcastle are in a really tight spot. They've had to cut the playing budget back to the bone and are really out on their own as the weakest team in the prem at the moment.

He's spoken up about eyeing the Olympic 7s as an immediate target and you'd imagine he's looking to go somewhere and actually earn some money after that. He's not a youngster any more, he's 26 and, as a winger, needs to cash in on his pace while he's still got it.

Carreras is off to France. Without those two I fail to see where Newcastle have any scoring threat.

Lucky boy, that could easily have been red. Where did Exeter find this scrum half? They should send him back, he is awful

Surely Townsend has been taken off the ball???

And the full backrow is off.

Yeah, you can't just throw the scrum half out of the way like that.

Hearing that bellend Ryan Wilson insistin that there's nothing wrong when the whole back row is unbound has never made me want to see a try ruled out more.

I know, the whole Exeter back row disengaged first. It was clearly a Glasgow penalty.

Law 19 Forming a scrum. [media][/media]

7d "All other players in the scrum bind on a lock’s body with at least one arm."

Vintcent having one hand on his flanker is not a legal bind. Ball is out from this point surely?

I don't understand how pulling Townsend off his feet before all that was considered ok...

Horne is all over Townsend, but Townsend pushing back into Horne is what takes them both off their feet - the Exeter scrum half is never picking that ball up, he's just trying to create space for his number 8. He also throws an elbow which makes fleeting contact with Horne’s jaw.

There's the scrum collapse and 5 out the 6 back rows not being properly bound to consider as well but all the focus went in on one incident.

Brizzle are going to get mullered today. Bulls far too physical for them.

Not many finer sights in rugby the Simon Zebo sitting on the ground with blood pishing out of his nose.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

Weird one in the Bristol game. If he's lost that ball backwards, he's in the ground and can't play it anymore.

Personally I think he's just scored it.

Yep - Bristol hanging in there but they tend to fall away in the 2nd half - and their set piece is all at sea.
