Wasn't late, but it certainyl didn't look like a clean hit at first glance (high and shoulder). Got distracted by kids for the replays though

No arms but it wasn't high.

What an amazing kick by Jalibert!

Willis pretty anonymous and subbed off before the business end. Good player but far from England’s best

And you know what I'm going to say but, regardless.......... Ntamack of Jalibert really isn't a discussion. Unless you mean which one is a tw*t of a person.

F**king ridiculous of Mola to have Saito on the bench instead of Daroque :crazy:

That’s the game I think. Toulouse have no answers here

Don't know about that but there is no way he'll take Eng over Fra if he qualifies for the latter.

Well that was wider than I imagined. Toulouse with slight adv in the pack. UBB slightly ahead in the backs. But for me, there was a yawning gap at half backs and so went with UBB by a score.

I don't know the details of Jalibert refusing to sit on the bench for France but it seems a bit harsh to label him a twat for it.

It's more than that. He and Woki were involved (started) an ugly, personal online spat with Maxime Mermoz. He and Woki also tried to run a player power regime before the latter buggered off in a sulk to Racing..... and watched his career plummet.

Still no sodding news about Saints injured players from the Sarries match and the starting XV for tomorrow.
Can't see Saints pulling this one off anyway.

15 George Furbank
14 Tommy Freeman
13 Fraser Dingwall (c)
12 Rory Hutchinson
11 James Ramm
10 Fin Smith
9 Alex Mitchell

1 Emmanuel Iyogun
2 Curtis Langdon – 50th Saints appearance
3 Trevor Davison
4 Temo Mayanavanua
5 Tom Lockett
6 Alex Coles
7 Josh Kemeny
8 Henry Pollock

Replacements:
16 Craig Wright
17 Tarek Haffar
18 Elliot Millar Mills
19 Ed Prowse
20 Angus Scott-Young
21 Tom James
22 Tom Litchfield
23 Ollie Sleightholme

Far better than expected. Furbank and Sleightholme back, Ramm, Langdon and Coles fit. Augustus is still a big loss but I'll take that team considering what we we're potentially looking at.

Yep I'll take that.
I wonder how many of last weeks injured will make the 60 minute mark? And yes Augustus is a major loss, great shame he couldn't make the final before he buggers off to Ulster
