Much more like it from Quins now, Cardiff probably starting to tire a bit and some things that didn't stick in the first half have started to.

[Ovals]

Enjoyable game - Cardiff falling away now but they were great value in the 1st half and played some very enterprising rugby.

Dombrant has had a huge game.

[sockwithaticket]

Joke pen against Northmore that.

[JM2K6]

Shanklin

[fishfoodie]

Not always Frank Murphys biggest fan; but I do like that he makes his decisions quickly; & doesn't refer them continually to the TMO.

He obviously likes to keep the game flowing; & he's been an important part of what an enjoyable game this has been.. plus he's doing bloody well to keep up with play in a game like this

[JM2K6]

Clearly forward. Shame, that was another cracking finish by Lynagh.

[sockwithaticket]

Should we not be taking a closer look at Fish on Green? Only saw it briefly, but Green went reeling backwards.

He's a 31 year old so it's remarkable he can even run </shanklin>

[SaintK]

Enjoyed that.
Good display from Cardiff until they tired.
Ref had a good game as well

Actually just had a look and he full on shoulders him in the jaw.

Shanklin being paid for commentary is one of life's mysteries.

Harlequins might be a bit concerned that a cobbled together Cardiff, with 40 players missing, were still level after about 60 mins.

[Torquemada 1420]

Great game (Quins v Cardiff).

Took Quins a while (20 mins into 2nd half) to realise they were being beaten at their own game before using power to overcome their oppos. Thought Cardiff missed a trick in those 20 mins in 2nd half because for all their clever play, they didn't use Haloholo or Lee-Lo with direct running to tie in some of Quins' defenders.

Meh. Still a pretty strong 1st XV playing like they had nothing to lose, and despite playing poorly Quins were a knock on short of 50.'2 from 2 for a side outside the top 4 with no European pedigree is just fine

After that game, I think we all had clearly under rated Cardiff. Remember they made Toulouse work friggin' hard last week.

Duanne Vermeulen play with his Blue Bull toks

Saints need Trokkie

[OomStruisbaai]

Love the Ulster crowd

Boooooooooooooooooo !

They do love their Friday night games in Belfast; it's always good crack

[OomStruisbaai]

Trokkie on. . Come on Ulster.

Covid fucked up all the sport lately.

Even plague couldn't save the English cricketers though.

[SaintK]

Pretty foggy in Glasgow
Good luck the commentators
Bloody hell cant see a thing

[Paddington Bear]

I went up to Glasgow to see Sarries play out a 3-3 draw at Hughenden ages ago - this sort of visibility plus power showeresque rain. Thought both sides did well to score as many points as they did.
Going to take some concentration to watch!

[I like neeps]

I'm going to guess the players can see the ball but this is a farce for the TV viewers.

[Tichtheid]

This won't go the whole way (whole Hogg?) the fog is getting worse

[Paddington Bear]

Yeah this is a little silly

[bogbunny]

Would normally support Glasgow in this, but wokiness has peed me off.

Come on the Chiefs

[de_Selby]

can the players see better I wonder? usually it looks better on TV than in reality.

[de_Selby]

It looks a bit better now

When they use the pitchside cameras you can see.

[OomStruisbaai]

Look like CC in NZ.

[Paddington Bear]

No advantage? They’ve been stopped a yard short of the line!

[Ovals]

Exeter looking very one dimensional in that half. Fortunate to be just 3 points down. Horrid game to watch.

[OomStruisbaai]

Exeter bit unlucky.

[Dogbert]

Exeter bit lucky.

To be only 9 points down

[fishfoodie]

The good news is that visibility in Limerick is 100% !
