Racing need to wake the fuck up or they are going to get steamrollered, you don't let Leinster fire off all the shots and stay in the game

Another f**king aimless kick from Russell. THIS is what we see, week in, week out by him at Racing.

They don't even need to be. Racing are shambolic and now they've painted a picture for Pearce, he's calling anything marginal against them.

BOD mentions Leinster clearing out beyond the ruck. It's something all the Irish do at all levels and seem to have an invisibility cloak for when it comes to refs. We've seen it at least 4 or 5 times this game already.

Bath player is cheating there, if your head is so sore you need the physios on to help (alert the ref) you should have a HIA. It's a bad injury, after all.

Sharks starting to get well on top of Quins now. Being adrift on the scoreboard is Quins' happy place though, so I expect a comeback around 50 minutes.

Bath have been improving in the Prem, but they were at such a low ebb that still doesn't mean they're up to much.
Just looking at the team sheets, Francis at 10 won't be doing much for them and their tight five is weak.

Got smashed in the first couple of scrums but seems to have settled now. Right back in the game
The two 10’s cancelling each other out with averageness at the moment

Quins finally get some decent lineout ball and close the gap. Sharks starting to concede quite a few penalties.
They'll want to avoid conceding again with just a few minutes 'til the end of the half.
Wonder how much the temperature is wearing on them? Can't be easy dealing with a 20 degree differential from London to Durban.

They're a well-oiled machine when they are playing like that. The annoying thing is that they can slot almost anyone in and the performance is the same.

Yeah, I have high hopes for Harry, but he'll probably have to leave Leinster to get the game time he needs.
I'm hoping he can be persuaded to come to Connacht, as Carty's backup

Pearce.
1) Pen to prevent a try is a yellow.
2) Clear hand in that last ruck which everyone sees bars Pearce and the TMO.

As BOD points out, how can a pen be awarded for a no arms tackle when no contact made? Racing have been muck and maybe dragged Pearce into the same.
