Saints shipping towards 1/2 a century against the mighty Dragons. Keeping 15 men on the park is proving beyond them.

Christ, there's barely any point packing down when one team is getting dominated that much in the scrum. Might as well just save some time and start with the penalty.

Think the officials forgot that players have to be back 10 from a penalty

Maybe it's the camera angle, but that Lyon counter ruck looked very in at the side...

Exeter's humiliation is almost complete as they embarrass themselves with their 7th try and highest ever European score

Difficult to see how they'll bounce back from this mentally

Yeah, it wasn't till we got that penultimate try I even thought we were in it. And then suddenly it seemed inevitble

I've heard it all now; Austin Healy saying a Tigers player should be carded.

48 - 32 FT

very frustrating if your a Connacht fan, as they had every opportunity to win this; but they reverted back to the hare-em, scare-me stuff & forgot the lessons from beating Leinster. :cry:

Tigers beat them up front, & took their chances; & that was all she wrote.

Brilliant try from Edinburgh in Paris. Lots of tries being scored from lineout set plays these days.

He and Marchand are a ridiculous duo for France to have at their disposal.

Racing winning all the collisions, Ritchie and Watson having to work over time at the ruck to keep Edinburgh in it at the moment.

Chat powers over for a deserved try after so much marmalising carrying.

The Kinghorn experiment is pretty much a fail thus far, i would put a scrum half there instead, they are used to playing a distributor role

Fitting that Chat held that up, it was his half really.

Feel that might be Edinburgh done. Score there and it's game on, but held up over the line and going into the second 40 with a 17 point defecit will have a psychological toll as much as anything.

Edinburgh not really troubling Racing in any phase of the game except maybe in the scrum, but that looks to have changed too. Bench quality differential really showing.
