Biggar went off because he was getting his arse handed to him and he goes in a big huff when he's not getting his own way. Fake limp!

Tigers fan.

Still don't like Bigger being subbed due to a piece of foul play. If a late hit on Racing key player Russell led to him leaving the field it would have made this a closer match and I really like Russell and would have been most critical if he had been injured by some c*nt hitting him late.

Saints were really naïve and needed to badger the ref a bit more, play up/act especially with a team like Racing. You miss Lawes who certainly wouldn't have given Russell that much space and time.

Admittedly, I should have really written Racing don't play so well if Russell isn't on the field instead of "Russell doesn't play so well if you smash him up a bit."
No one saw the late hit except you. No one anywhere.
The officials saw it, and the commentators mentioned it.

Biggar stayed down after making a tackle 2 or 3 minutes earlier and was already limping after that.
He was not late tackled
Saints were shite all night!

Lose the gain line so egregiously, you can't be expecting the ref to bail you out.

Good luck with these two. Scarlets match cancelled and Cardiff putting out a 3rd string due to Covid.
Leinster should put at least 50 on a Bath team who haven't won a match yet this season and are completely void of any confidence

Hmm, think I'll start the afternoon watching the Leicester - Bordeaux game rather than what I suspect will be a Leinster - Bath snuff movie, which has to be the mismatch of the round.

Even with all the sport psychologist and mindfulness work modern players do, I don't know how any Bath player could think they stand a chance today.

Cardiff match, even the commentators are struggling to see an upside for Cardiff

Going to be a loooong day for the Cardiff front 5

The best Cardiff can hope for is that Toulouse get complacent/lazy and can't be arsed to put in the effort to rack up a score.

Well by this stage Saints were 13 pts down; so at least Cardiff are working themselves into the game.

Garbage from Ntamack. Which is why Jaminet is now 1st name on team sheet after Dupont for France.

This is 3rd grade stuff, with the exception of Dupont who is light years better than anyone else on the pitch.

Standard fare for a fancied French team coming to the UK in the midst of winter - don't want to be here, doing the bare minimum.

If only Racing had stuck to that script. Mind you Saints were so pish they still would have lost heavily.

There will always be exceptions, Saints had the misfortune to run into one.

Does Williams not realize his forwards are blowing out their arse; when he keeps going for the quick tap, or miraculous kick thru ?

He keeps blowing possession inside the red zone; & Cardiff cant afford to do that
