that's disgraceful, both in letting Etzebeth off, & leaving a player with a head injury on the pitch

Because Sarries game is all based around beating up the oppos and Toulon did a number on them.Tichtheid wrote: Fri May 27, 2022 8:45 pmThey looked quite goid in cuffing Saracens but they have hardly had a shot off tonight
This’ll be Cornell du Preez’s second silver in this comp, he was excellent in a losing Edinburgh side to Gloucester

More on Tempest in the TMO seat that one.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Fri May 27, 2022 8:58 pmAccording to some, Pearce is a great reffishfoodie wrote: Fri May 27, 2022 8:53 pm that's disgraceful, both in letting Etzebeth off, & leaving a player with a head injury on the pitch![]()
Regardless, I hope the dirty cunt gets a 3-4 month ban for that piece of scumbaggery
Primarily it’s on Etzebeth for being a dirty cunt.fishfoodie wrote: Fri May 27, 2022 9:02 pmMore on Tempest in the TMO seat that one.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Fri May 27, 2022 8:58 pmAccording to some, Pearce is a great reffishfoodie wrote: Fri May 27, 2022 8:53 pm that's disgraceful, both in letting Etzebeth off, & leaving a player with a head injury on the pitch![]()

And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?
Yes but Pearce seemed to be laughing and joking when he should have looked at the reviews and the TMO must have been sleeping ffsBiffer wrote: Fri May 27, 2022 9:04 pmPrimarily it’s on Etzebeth for being a dirty cunt.fishfoodie wrote: Fri May 27, 2022 9:02 pmMore on Tempest in the TMO seat that one.

I have always been a believer in Couilloud. Unfortunately, his trop to Australia wasn't a success and he lost ground in the hierarchy of the scrum-halves in France. Hope he gets to travel to Japan though he will be in competition with Le Garrec.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Fri May 27, 2022 8:20 pmToulon's whole game is based around power. Couilloud's fast service is simply bypassing RCT's pack whereas Serin's snail delivery is killing his own team.

100% this. As you know, for a long time I thought he was no2 in France behind Dupont. But he wet the bed in Australia and showed he had not the mental fortitude to be an intl. Le Garrec is a mile ahead of him.TheFrog wrote: Sat May 28, 2022 1:55 amI have always been a believer in Couilloud.

English referees and Irish rugby teams. An unbeatable combination

Leyds and Rhule!
That'll make a lot of Saffers angry. To be fair they were pretty average when they played here.

Only going on what the commentating team said they were told

Agreed, you could tell from the way he was holding his left arm that he wasn't right.CM11 wrote: Sat May 28, 2022 4:24 pm I stand by what I said. There isn't a chance it was tactical. I'll find a hat and eat it if Leinster confirm I'm wrong!
I reckon he got injured, & that was why the throw was so squint

Leinster play winning rugby. The wall will break in the 2nd half.
The thinking seems to be that was La Rochelle’s best chance in the 1st half. But they look dangerous ‘if’ the 50:50 passes stick. High risk.
“It was a pet, not an animal. It had a name, you don't eat things with names, this is horrific!”
I was wondering if the throw was due to injury. It was so bad and very unusual for him.fishfoodie wrote: Sat May 28, 2022 4:34 pmAgreed, you could tell from the way he was holding his left arm that he wasn't right.CM11 wrote: Sat May 28, 2022 4:24 pm I stand by what I said.

Some really sloppy handling and organisation from Leinster. 1 try and they’re done.
Edit: La Rochelle deserve this.
Actually, wonder if this a warning for Leinster that perhaps you can’t just roll your a team out and expect them to perform.
