Thanks FF. Lots of rugby this weekend.

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 11:39 am**

Absolutely monstering by Wasps in the first scrum. Hope to see that continue, always good to be able to fall back on a dominant set piece.

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 12:14 pm**

Robson has been shockingly poor, has he been paid to throw the game?

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 12:17 pm**

Edinburgh benefitting from some generous refereeing at the end, but by Christ Wasps have been dire. A complete comedy of errors, from the charged down free kick to Robson repeatedly passing to no one.

Well the ref is currently using the TMO to decide whether to give an offside penalty (which I'm pretty sure you can't do...) against Shields in our 22 so we still might!

Pierre Brousset. He's been, ah, interesting for most of the game, but really ramped up the madness in the last 10.

Thoroughly enjoyed the refereeing in this one. That's the joy of playing in the shit tier competition, you get shit tier officials.

Outside bet on Toulon who now they have got rid of most of their injuries, are on an upward arc. Depends though if they give a sh*t about this comp.

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 1:40 pm**

Wasps knocked out EdinBokke.

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 1:53 pm**

Kaino has fully integrated into French rugby, lots of long 'uuuhhh's between his words.

Christ, I hope Toulouse beat Munster.

ASMO wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 1:32 pm To be honest, doesnt matter who goes through, none of these teams will beat Sarries

We might as well put the academy out if it comes to that.

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 1:55 pm**

I'm surprised at that. I've no idea how strong Wasps were, but Edinburgh were scraping the barrel. I was not optimistic at all with that team. I'll watch it later on TV, but Edinburgh did better than expected, apart from some customary brainfarts.

Ref was 'interesting'.

Edinburgh will desperately hoping to get players back for next week"s game with Glasgow.

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 1:57 pm**

Right. Let's see if Ntamack takes the ball to the line in this game because with a park this size, if he doesn't do it here, he's never going to.

I see the commentators going on about STs turnovers. Won't happen today methinks: the reason Jelonch is out. Akhi's ball carrying is going to be key here because unless he punches gaps, Lebel and Delibes are luxuries as wingers who can't defend.

Pretty much first choice in terms of personnel. Performance-wise, though, that was about par for recent weeks. Maddeningly inconsistent and with a badly malfunctioniung attack.

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 1:59 pm**

I am looking forwards to Medard coming on and winning the game for Toulouse.

Munster killed in the scrum and swamped at breakdown. Pearce: pen Munster

Pearce is an excellent communicator. He is yet again a homer ref though.
