Not Heineken Cup 23/24

[sockwithaticket]

Wow. Some poor errors there from Ulster, but Lynagh took advantage of each one for a sublime solo effort.

[sockwithaticket]

Love seeing that from such a brute of a second row as Herbst. Was a fairly decent chip too.

[sockwithaticket]

Meme game so far.

[fishfoodie]

If I were an Ulster back, I'd stay out on the pitch; much safer

[OomStruisbaai]

Bulls bagged their bonus Pont just before HT. Look like a big score coming up. Must try to not give a bonus point away.

Keep up the good work, & deny Bordeaux any points & that means a home QF for Bordeaux is just a win away against Saracens, & that's really worth having. It might also allow Connacht to sneak thru despite playing like crap before last night

[OomStruisbaai]

Bull defense , 3rd try for Bor

[OomStruisbaai]

33-21

[OomStruisbaai]

Papier sneak through 40-21. If the Bulls deny them the 4th try and win by 40 they can lead the pool.

[OomStruisbaai]

Then they fucked it up with kak defense

[sockwithaticket]

Ulster left a massive gap for Care to scamper through. Bonus point try and Quins now look to have a home tie in the round of 16 locked down.

Bordeaux are a very good side; the right mix of dazzling attack & intelligent defense.
.
.. and just like that they show another lovely attack

[sockwithaticket]

Quins score their fifth try after Care puts Esterhuizen through a hole that shouldn't have been there.

[sockwithaticket]

Try number 6 has the whiff of a forward pass abou it, but it started with a Smith break inside Quins 22, so I think we're letting it stand in the name of attacking rugby.

[sockwithaticket]

Ulster nab one back only to almost instantly turn it over with a shit pass for Will Evans to romp over from about the half way line.

Quins have 6 minutes left to try and hit 50.

[OomStruisbaai]

Great win for the Bulls but they gave away 2 crucial bonus-points.

Yep. If Lyon win at Saracens think this makes you 3rd in group.

[Jim Lahey]

Ulster
Utter, utter shite.
A new low. They don't even deserve to be in the Challenge Cup after that. Hope Cardiff win and Racing get a couple of BPs.

The only bad thing for the Bulls if they manage to get 2nd place is that they will have a home game in the middle of an away trip. So they will have to fly back home for the game and then fly back to Europe to continue there. So might almost be better to end 3rd and just stay over there. Though i would love a home game to go and watch.

[Paddington Bear]

Proper game of rugby at Welford Road

Yep. Leinster just starting to rachet it up before half time.

I misread that as "poor game" and thought, eh?

Tigers are going to find it tough in the second half, I think.

Yeah they’ve thrown the kitchen sink but are struggling in defence. They’ve got desperately unlucky on some of the big calls

[Paddington Bear]

Huge swing there from Pollard fluffing a basic kick to touch

[sockwithaticket]

Racing getting well clear of Cardiff now.

Huge swing there from Pollard fluffing a basic kick to touch

He did that last week too.

[Chilli2]

14 / 27 to the Cheetahs after 50.

[OomStruisbaai]

Leinster is just to classy.

[sockwithaticket]

Shanklin's mispronunciation of Kolisis is intensely irritating.

[Paddington Bear]

Phase before the yellow Leinster defenders are almost behind the ruck, should have been a penalty try

[OomStruisbaai]

I don't understand Leicester kicking.. They should take it wide with Leinster 14 men.

[LenCohen]

Something very dull about watching leinster. The fact the result is rarely in doubt doesn't help

[OomStruisbaai]

Leicester counter rocking is great

[OomStruisbaai]

Can see NieNabers work on defense with Leinster

[Paddington Bear]

Good game. Leicester could have won that. Pollard and Montoya both failed at their core skill for most of the afternoon, and Leicester turned down 5/6 kickable pens

[OomStruisbaai]

and they get it.

[OomStruisbaai]

Stormers through. Need a win to get a home game.

[sockwithaticket]

Taking Munster on at Thomond in bad weather will be a real test of how far Northampton have come this season.

[fishfoodie]

I'm going to predict we don't see a TBP in the game

[Oxbow]

Fantastic try from Mitchell, Borthwick won't like that at all.
