Not Heineken Cup 23/24

[Mahoney]

Amusing, but amusement tempered somewhat by knowing we're next...

[JM2K6]

We'll probably give it a lash and score some comedy tries and concede some comedy tries. We always do better than I expect against the big French sides away from home - no pressure, just jouer jouer I guess. Little chance of victory, and we may well cop a hiding anyway.

[Paddington Bear]

I reckon you’ll lose, but something like 50-30

[petej]

Tigers gonna lose by lots. No Martin or Chessum and we have been rubbish recently. Leinster by 40 points.

[petej]

At least we won't be nilled.

[Paddington Bear]

At least we won't be nilled.

Feel like you posted something identical after Lawrence scored early v Ireland…

Think I did. Tigers have way less talent though and been shite recently. They lost at home to Gloucester. I did like the leinster player picking the ball up when clearly on the ground.

[OomStruisbaai]

Us Saffers are all Bulls supporters now

And Lions and Sharks

Go Sharks, playing against Zebre.

[ASMO]

Gibson Park beating Leicester all on his own

[petej]

Gibson Park beating Leicester all on his own

Easier than the taranaki girls u9s.

Good slowing down from leinster in that defensive set.

[fishfoodie]

Leinster even won the YC period 7 - 5

[petej]

This Irish commentator is thick as shit.

[sockwithaticket]

Jesus christ, Leicester. Butchery. Absolute butchery.

[JM2K6]

No idea how OHC screwed that up. Comically awful. Leinster had been cut apart.

[JM2K6]

That's a deliberate knock on, he just flaps at it.

[petej]

Jesus christ, Leicester. Butchery. Absolute butchery.

It is quite funny. The commentator describing it as really sharp amused me.

They're trying to be even handed & positive, as otherwise everyone complains about them being bias

[fishfoodie]

and some Irish are writing off Conan as done

[JM2K6]

That's all she wrote. I get that Doris is hugely rated but the times I've been able to see both of them play, Conan has always impressed me far more. Hell of a player.

Tigers had their chances and certainly haven't been blown away.

Bias is when a (usually Irish) commentator bitches about a decision going against an Irish team.

Calling out crap play is good commentary and no-one does that any more. They all try to be positive 100% of the time. Bring back BCM!!!

[JM2K6]

Most of Leinster's subs have been surprisingly rank today

[Paddington Bear]

Leicester have given this a fair crack but have been inaccurate. The interception was a killer. The refereeing has been comically one sided, exceptionally frustrating to watch

They are failing at the latter and the positive shit is just inane or outright dumb.

[fishfoodie]

They beat the spread, which given the players they are missing is pretty good, but they still look like they expect the coach to shout at them when the get the ball out to the fast guys in space, & don't just run into contact & recycle.

[inactionman]

Finished watching the Bath Exeter match on cstchup, Exeter torpedoing into the ruck. Its just daft. It's almost every ruck.

[JM2K6]

First ten minutes of this game have been fantastic. God Northampton are impressive both sides of the ball

[JM2K6]

Munster with a quality response. This is a great match already.

Edit: running at Dingwall is always going to bear fruit. Bad missed tackle given what the rest of the team is doing

[Mahoney]

Both tries from kicks out on the full

[Paddington Bear]

This is fun, isn’t it

[Tichtheid]

I really rate Gavin Coombes, though I hesitate to say so because the last time I did he got sent off about a minute later.

[JM2K6]

Fair to say Fin Smith telegraphed that inside ball a bit

[Mahoney]

Shame the entire 3/4 line was fat boys there!

[JM2K6]

Okay I admire the desire to put the ball through the hands but someone should've put the foot through that one given it was an entire back line of slow forwards

[Tichtheid]

Munster butcher it and then Saints really needed a few backs in that move

[JM2K6]

Someone's lucky that clear out wasn't looked at, straight into Ludlum's head

[JM2K6]

USE THE WIND

[Paddington Bear]

Great try. No idea how this one ends

[Mahoney]

Gorgeous

[JM2K6]

Gorgeous. Simple but brilliantly executed.

[Mahoney]

“He catches the ball in two hands…” I mean, you normally do…
