He did but I'm not convinced that was an intentional knock on and not just a tackle. He couldn't possibly see the ball from that position.

Losing by 10, needing 2 scores and with 10 mins left. You win a turnover on half way. What do you do?
Newcastle FH thinks kicking it dead is the right option. :crazy:

That yapping by their 12 and then getting put on his arse for his troubles just about sums up what I've seen of Newcastle here.

Connacht showing the other Provinces how it's done; send a 2nd string side to France & get all 5 pts :thumbup: :thumbup:

I know Exeter are shit, but Toulouse really do play great rugby.

Exeter have given this a go but Toulouse are playing on a different level. Lovely to watch

Yup. That's all Exeter appear to have to offer. Cheap shots. They should play Paris each week. The 2 of them would be well suited.

Rugby of the Gods.

Substitutions will likely ruin the flow but this could be a 60 pointer.

Not convinced anything Exeter did at that last breakdown was legal.

Exeter in good shape to pick up a point from this game, been pretty good in the second half

Not sure what use that will be. They aren't going too far.

Why isn’t the ref or TMO calling it in?
I’ve not noticed anything dirty but then I’m a bottle of wine in!

Brace? It's all niggly stuff, off the ball: especially around the ruck.

I see Marchand just pointing out just now with a verbal directed at Chiefs' players.

Also should maybe stay on his feet entering a ruck.



That's how knees get knacked - Pearson was fortunate that he was cleared by 20 just before Hanekom dived into his leg. Pearson rightly not very impressed by it all.

Tough weekend for the South African teams.

The Bulls were unbelievably bad, but full credit to Saints who played smart rugby and deserved to win.

I haven't seen the Stormers match but the result was expected looking at the team they put out.

Same for the Sharks really. A sprinkling of Boks wasn't enough to save our Currie Cup team from a hiding. Next we have Toulouse at home and Bordeaux at home. I reckon we will beat Toulouse as they'll probably send a b team and then we'll lose to Bordeaux because we'll send a b team. This tournament :crazy:
