They're allowed to I believe, commentary team is incorrect. What they're not allowed to do then is come off their feet after the tackle, which they are also doing and should be pinged for.

This - I thought Cardiff were very, very poor last week. Are Quins just not very good tonight, were Cardiff holding back last week or are Edinburgh better than we thought?

Helped by the Blues f**king thick decision to turn down 3 to extend the lead to 10. At that point, they could have kicked the ball off the park at the end rather than trying to run it out from their 22. Someone earlier asked what had happened to taking the easy 3s and this highlighted the futility.

Re plastic: I think I am a converted advocate. Each club I see playing on them has had to change style to a more entertaining brand.

It's 18 years ago, zero need to have a dig Poitrenaud about that Howley try when he's interviewing in his capacity as a coach.

Mehh. Not actually watching this one but, not like I didn't tell you so. No Dupont has pretty much meant no Toulouse this season.

We're going to need a hell of a game to overcome this.
