LaR are slaughtering MH too 17-0 after 23 mins. I think I'm done for tonight. Massacres are dull.I like neeps wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 4:54 pm Leicester being absolutely murdered here.

And Ntamack's "performance"?
They've been bigging that fixture and Leicester and up for weeks. I appreciate that as the home of the Prem they don't want to say that the league leaders don't have a prayer, but they definitely shouldn't have gone so hard. Nothing about Tigers this season suggests they can take on a juggernaut like Leinster. They're cussed and well coached, but they lack star quality.I like neeps wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 4:54 pm Leicester being absolutely murdered here.

Could have been either, but Zebo got a smack in the head, & had blood coming from his mouth & had to go off for a HIAASMO wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 4:54 pmI thought it was a blood replacementfishfoodie wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 4:42 pmIt was a HIA, a replay showed him getting hit in a head to head
It was called an HIA. He did have blood coming from the mouth. Without the law book, we won't know if Murray should have been allowed to kick.fishfoodie wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 4:58 pmCould have been either, but Zebo got a smack in the head, & had blood coming from his mouth & had to go off for a HIAASMO wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 4:54 pmI thought it was a blood replacementfishfoodie wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 4:42 pm

Ref went thru it, it may have been when you were looking for a stream, but each team had to nominate their kickers, & he checked they were all on the field at the end of extra time,which I think is the only thing.Torquemada 1420 wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 5:01 pmIt was called an HIA.

I remember a lovely piece of work where he took out 3 defenders going inside outside inside before releasing two supporting players in space but they made a hash of that space.Torquemada 1420 wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 4:03 pm Should I mention Ntamack has done f**k all in open play bar the try where he scored precisely because he dropped the ball?
That one leaves room for exploitation then. Thanks for checking.fishfoodie wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 5:02 pm

Working out how to beat the teams you play all the time in the Prem is very different to putting together a plan for occasional opponents, let alone ones with the class of Leinster. The whole season a lot of smoke has been blown up Leicester, this should be a painful reality check for them as to how good they actually are.fishfoodie wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 5:12 pmI'm a bit surprised how one sided it is; but having Ben slowing down, or kicking away, any possession isn't a great tactic
Oof, talk about a fixture where you want both to lose...I like neeps wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 5:14 pmYeah I agree.sockwithaticket wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 4:58 pmThey've been bigging that fixture and Leicester and up for weeks.

A Sarries Tigers Prem final would be very good though.

Proud of the way the young guys stood up. Losing POM was the difference.

FM. OTTOMH, Tolouse were missing Nanai-Williams, Tauzin, Guitoune, Faumauina, Arnold, Chocobares, Bonneval, Holmes and Tolofua.Uncle fester wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 7:07 pm Bit of a shit way to lose but Toulouse far too powerful and we were missing some of the players who might have countered that.

With their league position secure, Leinster have spent three weeks preparing for this match and it showed, both in the 13 Ireland internationals in their starting XV
Bamba has really frustrated me since leaving Brive. He should be a national fixture by now but seems to have periods of being disinterested too often. I'm not sure Lyon was a good place to learn his trade. Somewhere like Toulon or Toulouse would have been better. He is a mobile wrecking ball when he bothers: kinda reminds me of Ioane........ in a bad way.sockwithaticket wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 8:42 pm Bamba really does have some engine for a tightehead.
Breakdown penalty bang in front of the posts when only up by 2. Glasgow's coach will be livid.
And why might that be? Ans: because for Toulouse, Ntamack has been so poor, Dupont has been trying to do too much all by himself. Another invisible man display yesterday and that f**king woeful kick away off the ball near the end with an overlap on is a perfect example of his complete inability to read the game.

I don't dislike Ramos. He is just unreliable. Sometime he kicks 100% for an age and then he'll miss a load of easy ones. He is capable of unexpected breaks from FB and then will have a brainfart and drop an easy ball. He's a good club player but never intl. standard.La soule wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 6:51 am I am glad you found a new player to hate.
He is far from being perfect but I am glad Ntamack is playing for ST and there to stay. Dupont's service yesterday as woeful. He had a bad game and made bad decisions. Shit happens.
Another one of your pet hate, Ramos, is having a great time. I am also glad he is at the club;
You are correct, in a way. See above. He is taking on too much himself because he cannot rely upon his 10 to his job. I keep going back to that Cardiff game as the perfect example. Cardiff 3rd team: with some semi pros FFS. Ntamack had no f**king idea how to manage a game in the wet when his fwds had total dominance. He was made to look a mug by a part time FH. In the end, Dupont had to win the game single handedly. And that trend has continued for both Toulouse and France. Toulouse have actually been better with Holmes at FH and he's not very good.EnergiseR2 wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 7:18 am I've seen Dupont have matches like that frequently. Confirmation bias means when he is not playing well and then does something half decent people go 'look he is super human I told you'. In a way he could become France's weakness. Target him effectively and it gets a bit sketchy for them
