Properly topsy turvy game this. Sarries will have to dig deep

Watching something else but this doesn't surprise me. What is a surprise is how well Toulon have gone this season playing an outmoded style of rugby like Montpellier. CW how the likes of Saints, Quins and UBB are trying to play and, of course, Toulouse who can combine power and style......

Problem with this power game is you just don’t touch the ball. Don’t think Sarries have been through more than three phases in this half.
Toulon likely will finish with 60

Could be 100 the way it's going.

Hopping between the 2 games this afternoon. Not surprised with the Leinster game but there is a crazy game at Stade Pierre-Fabre with Castre down to 14 against Benetton - currently 27-27

Quins are pathetic. Gutless.
Leinster would get a tougher game against their academy grunts.
And as for Marcus Smith...

Leinster crushing opposition in early knockout games. Seems kind of familiar.

Only really watch French clubs in this competition, Teddy Thomas at 13 seems like an odd selection choice?

He was on the wing for that one!
Hell of a start from Stade Rochelais.
Edit - he's in touch. As an aside, not a fan of being able to chalk off tries once the conversion has been kicked and we're about to restart. Should be getting all this out of the way beforehand.

Don't like that from Coombes, standing over West and screaming at him after scoring is deeply unnecessary.

It's remarkable how a rugby team can go off so quickly like spoiled food.
Another team well past its sell by date and requires a complete reset.

How's that legal from Beirne? Looks like he's second man in.
Beginning to look like Munster pashun will carry them against La Rochelle's blowing hot and cold.

TKB and West must be the only sh*te 1/2 back pairing ever to ply their trade away from NZ.

You could post that at any point of any game he plays.
He gets away with it and that's what makes him a brilliant player
I don't like the dirty stuff, though

LaR deservedly going out and with it, one hopes grinding teams to death as a way to success.
