Owen(sacred cow) Farrell playing his usual standard of rugby, kicking the leather off the ball, missing touch.....but we mustn't criticise.

Kicking to Arendse is clearly the best strategy!

Sarries got everything they deserved from that game...Bulls not getting a BP should be considered a significant failure.

So the Bulls the only URC team with a win in the Champions Cups. The Stormers will lose by 50, Leinster also in with a tough match.

Disappointed that the Bulls did not pick up the bonus point. They lost a bit of composure as soon as the red card came, over eagerness over the ball let Saracens back into the game. Otherwise it was a great night out.

That's a pity.

It means Sarries will have to pick someone less thick for the game against Connacht :mad:

I thought the ref was particularly poor in the Bulls/Saracens fixture.

Was impressed by Mr. Jack Makepeace in the Zebra/Cheetahs game earlier. First time I see him. Relaxed dude.

From 33-10 up to just barely scraping the win in the 85th minute against Lyon's second team. Pat Lam is stealing a living. It was a dumb decision to give him a 7 year contract even when the team were still doing alright, it looks like brain-damaged thing to do given the current state of the club.

I am very impressed by the Bulls. Jake White is quoetly building something special there. They have embraced the proffessional era and blossomed.

I thought that the subs took the advantage away from the Bulls.

They were excellent till then.

Thought Leinster - La Rochelle might get a bit spicy and so it goes.Two players binned for a fracas inside 11 minutes. A few more can probably consider themselves lucky that the officials were looking for the worst offender from each team so as to look even-handed rather than looking forensically at every player that might have done something.
