I hope the Bulls smash the Saints.
We expect this behaviour from the despicable French!

Not as despicable as you , asshole.

Quins grab a 4th and finish the half well on top.

Er, the post was a pisstake. Should I take your reply in the same spirit?

Christ we're good sometimes. Real shame this isn't a 40 minute game...

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 3:19 pm**

Bordeaux doing what they had to do, & starting the 2nd half with a beaut of a try.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 3:38 pm**

Nice one Quins to get it out past one score; now they need to just take any points on offer & force Bordeaux to take the risks

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 3:46 pm**

Aaaaargh, & now it's turning into a classic Quins performance.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 3:49 pm**

Bloody hell…

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 3:57 pm**

Big conversion that. Wonderful try.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 4:03 pm**

Bordeaux strike back again, but Lucu fucks the conversion. Quins have the slightest of leads with a couple of minutes to play!

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 4:07 pm**

Holy shit

That was feeling a lot like the premiership final game, just two high quality teams slugging it out until the very end with some superb scores.

Superb performance, superb result. Incredibly proud of that.

Fin Baxter, Will Collier... Wow.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 4:07 pm**

Wow, didn't expect that result. Played Quins.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 4:20 pm**

Really well played Quins. Strange sport considering bordeaux battered sarries who battered quins. Think the English league is definitely going the correct way about it by making the league flatter and competitive even if we do suffer against leinster and the French giants.

Fair play, I didn't think much would top Leinster fans singing allez les bleus for cringe, but having the stadium announcer lead them through a mediocre version of the Viking clap is up there

Missed that. Sounds very Leinstery.

Karl Dickson is having a laugh with these advantages.

La Roch are getting ridden here

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 5:12 pm**

Wtf. Bizarre reffing.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 5:13 pm**

Dickson clearly wants leinster to win this

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 5:13 pm**

Yeah. Obviously I want LaR to win primarily for the lolz, but that was a bonkers call at the scrum.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 5:16 pm**

Surely that's lost forward by Lowe? It's not a pass. Lowe has lost it forwards and it's caught by JGP. If he had released it first I could understand the call, but...

This is quite funny.

It's ridiculous

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 5:18 pm**

How on earth is that considered legit?

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 5:18 pm**

Surprised he gave that. He's been fine with it all half.

You can't place the ball into the hands of a player in front of you.

Yeah, but that isn't quite what happened. While holding the ball he whacks it into the shoulder and loses control forward. JGP regathering after doesn't stop it being a knock on. All very odd.

Finally Leinster being reffed and they start whinging

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 5:22 pm**

It really is the ultimate in NH rugby to win the Champs Cup. Once you win it you are part of the royalty. Harlequins have pulled off an epic victory today. To get to the final it will have to be even more epic. To win the final etc.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 5:23 pm**

Leinsters defence is breached at the point when they the ref doesn't just let them relentlessly fall on the wrongside.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 5:23 pm**

The funniest moment of that half wasn't the "pass" for the the try, for me it was J G-P rolling the ball back in the tunnel instead of feeding the scrum

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 5:40 pm**

Leinster must be very good, seeing the level of English whining here.

(Though the feed into the scrum was very sideways)

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 5:40 pm**

Superb by Baird.

They have to check the player taken out off the ball, Shirley?

Looked okay tbh. LaR probably don't want too many replays because there was a huge upright shot in midfield that looked pretty bad at first glance

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2024 5:44 pm**

Porter put his hand on the ball and was immeadiately cleared our, and got the penalty.
