Champion's Cup: Covid bowl edition

[ASMO]

Beautiful try there for Bristol

[fishfoodie]

another lovely try off a lineout

[sockwithaticket]

Hope the players get the message about rolling. I salute Adamson's ambition to get a quick game going, but it could become a real whistle fest if they don't adapt.

[ASMO]

Bristol have a habit of giving away dumb penalties, will cost them the game with Jalibert kicking the way he is.

Same with all these things - we’ll have forgotten all about it in a few months when the players stop doing it, but it’s annoying now

[sockwithaticket]

Oof. That cross field kick nearly came off.

True enough. There hasn't been a directive on this though, has there? It's just Adamason wanting a quicker game?

[sockwithaticket]

JMK told me a few weeks back that Joyce is a nobody, but it feels like he's been a mainstay of the Bristol team this year and is every bit as capable as some more recognisable names.

[sockwithaticket]

Completely braindead pen from Sinckler there, no need for it at all.

[Marylandolorian]

20 penalties in 33 minutes, even for each team.

[Ovals]

This game has been very disappointing so far - just a procession of penalty kicks. I'd been looking forward to good, fast, flowing game between these two teams.

Bristol need to get a bit of a grip and cut out the penalties.

[ASMO]

The try apart, this game is very meh, lots of errors, 40 mins of my life wasted. Uren really fucking Bristols attack over

[Torquemada 1420]

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.

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

Looked a Tigers 2nd team on paper to me. I almost went Connacht in the FR and was shocked by both the margin and pts scored by Tigers.

[Torquemada 1420]

Torq gonna be happy his fav player Russell isnt playing

And you saw the result.......

[Torquemada 1420]

Chat is a fucking beast

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

And Bourgarit...

[Torquemada 1420]

Jalibert is so much more a threat on the gainline than Ntamack. Just wish he'd play that way (or be allowed to) for France.

[ASMO]

Morohan is very ordinary, Bristol need to bin him

[Jock42]

Is Adamson not contradicting himself there?

[JM2K6]

Morohan is very ordinary, Bristol need to bin him

Why do you do this so often? He's been a cracking player for Bristol.

[fishfoodie]

At least Bristol are always capable of scoring points, & they'll play to the bitter end. There are other teams that you see them going behind, & you know they just don't have the cattle or the plan to get back in the game.

[Paddington Bear]

This is just a penalty fest. Real disappointment

[ASMO]

Lam needs to sort out the dumb penalties they keep giving away, most of them completely needless

[sockwithaticket]

Randall coming on should perk ASMO up a bit.

Adamson probably should have carded someone by now to send a message about the number of pens. It has rather stopped a game from fully erupting.

[ASMO]

Bordeaux no frills but a very efficient side, starving Bristol of possesion, Randrandra hardly touched the ball

[fishfoodie]

Yeah, he's warned both sides now, & he has to put down a marker

[ASMO]

A bit harsh that, he was gonna give a yellow card and was desperate to find a reason

[ASMO]

Game over and Bristol only got themselves to blame.

[sockwithaticket]

That try probably saves Bristol a card, but it's likely the game.

[fishfoodie]

Bordeaux turn the dial up to eleven

[JM2K6]

He's definitely knocked it on.

[Paddington Bear]

Yeah not sure how they haven’t picked this up

[ASMO]

Definate knock on, he is a very poor ref

[Jock42]

We're even shite at refereeing rugby

[fishfoodie]

Ref & TMO made a balls of that

[Ovals]

That'll be that then.

Extremely disappointing from Bristol to conced a try when a man up.

[ASMO]

How is this clown an international referee, he is a disgrace

[JM2K6]

Randall off broken. He'd made a few errors and Morahan won't thank him for the hospital pass that led to the turnover and eventual try.

[Jock42]

How is this clown an international referee, he is a disgrace

Fits in well with the rest

[Paddington Bear]

Really dislike the way English teams talk to refs, but hard to disagree with Sheedy there

[sockwithaticket]

Bris very naive in those attacking sets.

Not a fan of how Sheedy's talking to the ref, even if he is right.

[JM2K6]

I don't think the tacklers hand to the head does the damage. His head fucking bouncing off the floor then Afoa rolling over his head might have more to do with it being a legit HIA

Honestly this game has been fucking dull and the officials have not helped that
