Hey now, there's no need to say things we can't take back.

Munster have blown this but great character from Northampton to come back into it.
I think he still makes contact with his right leg, though not particularly hard. Was just surprised at the lack of comment on it, and how quickly the ref decided there was nothing to see.
Fin Smith has had a great 20 minutes or so.

Definite contact on the replays. This kind of bullshit gets let go far too often, really need to clamp down on it. A string of penalties from the restart ought to focus minds.
It wont be, that is not in the script Munster provided to the ref.sockwithaticket wrote: Sat Jan 20, 2024 7:18 pmShould be a red on priciple.JM2K6 wrote: Sat Jan 20, 2024 7:16 pm Absolute filth from the Munster 13 going feet first on a player scoring a try. DOC strangely silent.
Looks like the conditions worsened after half time and the wind got stronger, so a real challenge for Munster to play into that at leastUncle fester wrote: Sat Jan 20, 2024 7:19 pmYeah, can't be doing that.JM2K6 wrote: Sat Jan 20, 2024 7:16 pm Absolute filth from the Munster 13 going feet first on a player scoring a try.

Fantastic win. Red cards ruin another match.
Well done Saints, exceptionally ballsy display and just took control in the second half. Smith excellent, ford would've been proud of that display.

Saints are back as a force in Europe it seems.
Fair play. No complaints with that result. Couldn't get out of our half after half time.

Definite statement performance from Saints. They've come a long way even from last season where they showed a soft belly at times. Real steel in them now and they can win without just chucking it about in fair conditions.
Well deserved second try for Lyon. Can't imagine Saracens will be this careless in the second half, but after a really bright start they've been extremely half arsed and more than a little lucky with some decisions that prevented Lyon tries. Complete lack of on field leadership.
But.....but....isn't the greatest leader since Alexander of Macedon on the field?JM2K6 wrote: Sat Jan 20, 2024 8:45 pm Well deserved second try for Lyon.

It also seems to be based on their players being 2 or 3 years younger, & able to sustain a pace that is obviously beyond them

At somepoint I'll surely let the whole salary cap thing go and not enjoy watching Saracens get bested, but for now I'm still

He's been so poor the last couple of weeks you'd think he must've signed something ironclad for full blown retire at 35 money.ASMO wrote: Sat Jan 20, 2024 9:10 pm Right now Racing are examining that contract looking for a loophole they can use to cancel it.
