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

They 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
Because Sarries game is all based around beating up the oppos and Toulon did a number on them.

Etzebeth proving once again that he thinks being a hard man is equivalent to being a dirty piece of shit.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

More on Tempest in the TMO seat that one.

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.

Yes but Pearce seemed to be laughing and joking when he should have looked at the reviews and the TMO must have been sleeping ffs

Toulon'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.
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.

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.

Is going to the edge the same as going wide or am I ignorant of something?

Get the feeling that Leinster need to keep game as fast as possible to capitalise later.

Yes and no, edge of the cover, which may be wide sometimes

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

He was treated after the skew lineout. No way he was taken off tactically.

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!

Agreed, you could tell from the way he was holding his left arm that he wasn't right.

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.

I was wondering if the throw was due to injury. It was so bad and very unusual for him.

These are not really pressure penalties, they are silly ones and they are killing La Roche

Typical French camera work. They hated having to show that trip.

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.
