I thought Baxter was exceptional around the field not just at scrum time.

Extremely strange point. The issue is about changing the competition to benefit south African teams, not whether south African players exist or are any good.OomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2024 8:57 am Jake White sending a B team to a Sauter final deserved to get a hiding.
Was Tyrone Green MOTM yesterday? Suppose he is English?
Porter or Collier or Baxter or Evans all had better games fwiw but

Leinster achieve this through the hardest pool. They deserve a home semi. They will walk this competition.

Actually, that could be true in one way or another.

Didn't realise it was down to the seedings
I am delighted Saints have got this far considering they didn't win a match in last seasons comp.
t will be no disgrace to go out to Leinster on their own turf and I'm sure they'll give it a lash!!!

Incident was in the diddy cup but Paul Willemse getting a 5-week suspension from a 6-week entry point for yet another head shot blows my mind.
How can a player on their 5th ban (and with 20 yellow cards across the last 10 years) receive no add on under aggravating factors for their 'status as an offender of the Laws of the Game' and ultimately still end up with a ban lower than the entry point?

Judiciary process is a joke. The framework exists for them to issue meaningful sanctions to repeat offenders, but they opt not to.topofthemoon wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2024 1:49 pm Incident was in the diddy cup but Paul Willemse getting a 5-week suspension from a 6-week entry point for yet another head shot blows my mind.

Looks very much worth a look. Probably a pen/yellow borderline one, but strange not to refer it.
Point of order, the ref may have asked for help, or missed it, so it’s up to the TMO really.

Toulouse fully unlocked and starting to run riot now.
They play their big games at the football stadium. Their Semi will be there, but Stade Wallon is their home ground.
