Sharks get away with one for folding that scrum.

Why would you kick the ball away there?

Congrats Sharks. Through to the final. Enjoy Sards

It's too much for my heart

Sharks winning an international comp final? Not going to happen.

Slight positive for me to look forward to whilst heading back to London prematurely.

Very reliable. I was pissed that Mapimpi dotted so far out

Lucky bugger

Clermont were brutal. I was watching some of those tackles and thinking to myself....damn that's naughty but also so beautiful. But it's great to feel that way with a W. If we lost I probably would have bitched

Masuka 4th man of the match in a row.....

They had fast line speed and were shutting down the Sharks attack, quite often it was offside but it was working. Ref was giving penalties to the Sharks almost every time the Sharks had the ball in the first half, because what Clermont were doing on defence wasn't fully legal, ref never gave a team warning didn't even give a card for a no arms air tackle. In the second half Clermont got tired and from around the 50th minute onwards all their line speed was gone, then the Sharks attack came into the match.

Well done Sharks, super result.

That's some try from Benetton, from a scrum in their own half

Will it be a home final for the Sharks?

Both finals are at Tottenham stadium.

Gloucester no
Benneton yes

Oh shite ja. Suppose Gloucester will get huge support at Tottenham Stadium

The Dubs are in a different league at the moment

Too good for Saints who only have pride to play for after 15 mins.

Held up over the line there I reckon.

It doesn't help we're playing like absolute spastics.

Pity those poor Leinster supporters who came to watch a match only to watch a training run instead.

Mitchell has been really poor and Smith shit the bed again like he did last week against Quins.

It is a quality stadium even if does resemble a toilet bowl from certain angles.

Probably best ground in the country.

Thanks.

If Leinster had scored there that would have been the game, probably,

huge turnover from Lawes

Why are Saints persisting with this kicking game?

Leinster are making an absolute mess of Northamptons ruck ball so its slow and only option is to kick it.

Fuck's sake.

About where I thought it would be at half time
But not so many unforced errors from Saints

Sorry. Meant the dink kicks. All have been too long.

Game over, 50 pointer on the cards

That was lovely rugby

Be interesting if ST get through to see both sides keeping the ball alive like this. Nice watch.

Because Blair Kinghorn moved over I've watched every game they've played since, they are like the Toulouse of old, one of the best sides to watch right now.

Yes. Been good to see Meafou and Costes getting plenty of game time. Meafou and Flament must be Fra's lock pair for foreseeable future.

Costes is the one who caught my eye, he's like, dare I say it, Sella, he's so strong.
