At last Glasgow's scrum dominance gets a penalty

Nichol's desperation is pitiful to hear sometimes. "They've still got time" - 19 point defecit and 10 minutes left to play.

Assume you mean Pierre (wing)? Interesting player. Could have a very good club career but unlikely to be intl material.

Yeah, number 11. Hadn't clocked there were two players with that surname in the side, related presumably?

Interested to see how La Rochelle manage these last 5 while 2 men down.

It's easy when the opposition are bleeding penalties

Good play by LaR with 13. ASM would have kicked the ball away.

Yes. Brothers.

La Roch worthy winners, after their early pressure they took advantage of their opponents' mistakes. Glasgow almost worked their way back into the game but there is a soft underbelly there, two weeks in a row they've capitulated somewhat.

Can someone run me through likely KO round and permutations for today's games?

Ospreys taking the piss and picking a team.
Sale should win by 45 at least

Posted: **Sun Jan 23, 2022 1:12 pm**

Jono Ross is a fucking liability, Sale need to dump him asap

Yeah if were a DoR he'd be on my fucking blacklist for recruitment. There's almost no amount you can do on the field that compensates for the continual loss of territory, possession and points that results from his constant stream of penalties and cards.

Questioning the knock on?

He thinks it went backwards? Only possible reason.

Team mates out wide will be seething that he didn't pass it. Easily the most pointless du Preez in Sale's ranks.

He is a net negative player quite a big defecit too.

3 tries bombed, all by Saffers

Posted: **Sun Jan 23, 2022 1:28 pm**

Ok, Sale will probably win this at a canter but FFS 20 mins in and they've butchered clear chances time after time through knuckleheads trying to charge the line while there's been massive overlaps out wide.

No dog in this fight but it's surprisingly frustrating to watch even for a neutral.

Putting up shelves is looking increasingly attractive… dreadful game

Posted: **Sun Jan 23, 2022 1:35 pm**

When does Schoenert call it a day? Seems to be a player who constantly gets injured.

Posted: **Sun Jan 23, 2022 1:36 pm**

That was superb by Rodd

Fair play, that’s much better

The sort of thing that gets front row union cards revoked.

Curry in from the side?

Connacht looking surprisingly brittle but thicko Latu gets them out of jail by getting carded for being a dim thug and try chalked off.

I just don't get it in these days of performance coaches, analysts etc Just how TF anyone bothers with players like Ross, Lavanini or Julien Bardy.

Posted: **Sun Jan 23, 2022 1:56 pm**

Both teams showing Bath levels of competance.

Posted: **Sun Jan 23, 2022 2:05 pm**

Paris get outside Paddies way too easily to score that try considering playing with 14 men. Interesting how bad the Irish look on plastic.

Posted: **Sun Jan 23, 2022 2:10 pm**

Just watched that Ross clearout again, absolutely thuggish, braindead behaviour, the ball was well won already and about to be passed out. There was no threat to the ball yet he comes in and completely wipes out the Ospreys player for no reason, no gain. Personally it was a yellow card for me.

Latu clear didn't feel like playing any more today.

Barnes is the wrong ref to swear at; Red Card

Meantime, thicko Latu has only just come back on after his yellow....... to be redded. Total w*nk*r.

He was pinged by Barnes for being off feet. Nothing more than a pen. So he swore at Barnes who immediately sent him off.

Ah, that makes sense: I thought Barnes was being very harsh there on the second yellow. But my audio was turned low....

First time I've heard the commentators apologizing for the bad language; when the Ref was the offender

Latu told Barnes to, "Fuck Off", when he pinged him

20 - 31 with 18mins to go

I think he said both, the Fuck Off first, I didn't catch the 2nd one that you did; regardless, Barnes definately isn't the ref to say it to

Well, let's hope the dim ***t gets a long ban to think about it.

Connacht looking even odds to bottle it for the second week on the trot!

{EDIT} Change that. Now odds on.
