Only listening on Radio but don’t think anyone gets a bye in the latter stages.

A bye would be a tougher challenge. Anyway, it's Exeter through. How TAF are the Stormers 2nd in the URC? Worst team I've seen anywhere all season. Utterly clueless in every aspect of play.

At least the $harks waited till they had played 50 minutes before bending over,

Worst half from the Stomps in years I reckon.

Shows some promise but must try harder.

Delport correct on the comms, Stormers had no answer to Exeter's possession based game. Deon Fourie out, which is the main Stomp weapon against that game plan.

Exeter have done very little but against farcical play, it's been more than enough.

The Exeter try off the lineout identifying a weakness in the Stomp lineout positioning on defence, was good.

Not a great half for the neutral spectator otherwise.

That was the other guy and Delport replied to him that the Stomps have been made to work on defence and listed the tackle counts. I don't really buy travel stuff so much, it's much less than in Super Rugby (north/south travel in basically the same time zone, and short tours). If the SA teams and players start talking about travel then I'll take it seriously, but I've seen nothing much from them yet.

I'm out of this sh*tfest. Will save eyes for later game.

What is the Afrikaans for ‘manshamed’?

I thought the South Africans were going to show us all how this tournament should be played?

@ Torq the ref was good, Counter ref bashing from me.

Won't have much of a chance away to Leinster: at present they aren't some team but THE team. I'd have Leinster as favourites even if the game was in Toulouse.

Just to repeat great effort and spirit by the Sharks. A game with no real niggle (bar the Ramos try/Van Rensburg tackle) and no slowing the game down.

Toulouse can definitely beat Leinster. Especially without Sexton. Lowe could be out and Baird almost definitely is while we don't know the extent of VDF's injury.

Stormer's have woken up a bit over the last 10.

Who said that, or is it something you've made up? I didn't think we had any chance at all, there is a financial disadvantage that's so pronounced that we've structured our pro game in the knowledge we lose a lot of the best players at this level. SA sides did a bit better than I expected.

Still a decent player.

Oh well

Exeter by far the better team. Stormers played like hard white dog shite. Good luck in the semis Chiefs.

It’s because commercial dog food has lower levels of bone meal these days than it used to.

So it seems. If that question ever comes up on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, you need to be on the end of a phone.

Just show how shite the Stormers were today.

Well done to all the Saffers on social media for moving on from constant ref bashing when you lose.

The move to bashing TV producers is refreshing

I'm picking up subtle hints of sarcasm.

Well done Toulouse, deserved winners. Thanks for a fantastic game, and I look forward to hopefully playing against you next season. What a wonderful stadium with such vocal fans!

I think a QF exit is probably where the $harks are right now, which isn't a bad return for our first season.

I actually thought we played quite well, despite the scoreline. We definitely hit the wall at 60 minutes. I though our 9/10 combo played well and so did our pack. Am slowly coming back to form but still off his best. Kok has really claimed the 14 jersey. It's a pity we'll lose quite a few of these players after the RWC.

We definitely didn't the rub of the green with the 50/50 calls, but it must be a very intimidating place to play for the ref, and the dodgy tv production has been a problem for a long time. Hopefully next season (if we quality) we'll get to play Toulouse in Durban.

Oh good, it's Nolli on Comms.

Following Ernest Wallon yesterday, another atmosphere that Prem clubs could only dream about.

Yeah: what idiot thinks continuing to give him Fre games is a good idea?

How does Tomkins' head on head there on Botia differ from Mallia's yellow yesterday?
