2022/23 Champions/Challenge Cup

[Ovals]

Chiefs so far offside at every breakdown that a chipkick sees more of their players behind the LaR line than LaR

Jeez - do you ever stop the incessant one eyed whingeing about refs.

he's not wrong in this case, but it's up to LaR to recognise it's not being policed & take advantage

I knew i have seen Olly Woodburn before

Brutal stuff
That doesn’t look good for Gray

After RTE's efforts yesterday, I think Fre TV gets a by for the next decade.

[Ovals]

Can only see this game heading one way unless Exeter get an incredible amout of good fortune/rub of the green.

Fucking tedious

Exeter getting a taste of their own medicine.

Terrible grammar.

[Chilli]

Fantastic game of rugby to watch

[C69]

That's rather embarrassing from the young Exeter 9

Who gives a fuck
You’re still tedious

[Torquemada 1420]

Exeter seem to offer only 1 threat in attack: rolling maul from lineout. Frighteningly good they are at it but you can't expect to win top level games with just that.

He's by a good distance the biggest whingeing twat across either bored. Even worse than the Saffa loons. I don't thunk he actually watches the rugby, just the refs through his one good eye.

Fucking tedious is right.

More quality reffing for you to digest

[SaintK]

Totally agree, dreadful
Now fuck off with your whining

[Torquemada 1420]

And let's not forget the only reason Chiefs are here is because the one cheating ref Brace (the likes of Dickson and Adamson are just incompetent) fiddled them through with a decision that was so wrong, we saw the rarity of it being overturned.

[Tichtheid]

Anyone know if Danty will be back for the final?

[Tichtheid]

Will Skelton is large, 2.03m and 140kg.

There is a Scottish strongman, Tom Stoltman, he's 2.03m and 185kg.

I've often wondered if he can catch a rugby ball.

[Torquemada 1420]

@ JKM

Not a dig this: just pointing out this is what I said before that LaR really aren't the Fre equivalent of Exeter. LaR can play rugby too. They just don't do it often enough for anyone's liking.

[Tichtheid]

Good try from Exeter. Hogg did well

[Torquemada 1420]

Anyone know if Danty will be back for the final?

Unclear. He's been injury prone all his career. Not really got any consistent run of games all season. I can't see LaR hoodwinking Leinster again and without his presence, their chances are practically none from rank outsiders.

He and Villiere are absolutely essential to any chance Fra has at RWC too: both are perma sicknotes though.

The issue will be aerobic capacity. I would suggest that there will be a paucity of slow twitch fibres.

Yeah, I wasn't being serious, that is not a playing weight in a sport where you're required to run, his knees and ankles would probably explode.

On the other hand, give him the ball and no one is going to take it off him.

He placed second at World's Strongest Man last week, having won it the two pervious years

[Tichtheid]

That (joining in front of the ball) happens in every game, I saw it yesterday

[SaintK]

Hope LaR and Leinster both bring their attacking game to the final
Could be a cracker

[laurent]

Just did not want la Rochelle to go to the 50's.

Frankly no one blows that.

He was actually a goalie in Soccer Aid last year and was surprisingly good.

He's also got a younger brother who does the strongman competitions as well. Same size, won Europe's strongestan, been 5th in the World competition.

Tv crew is the competition organizer so I. This case BT afaik. And again the TMO has his own feed. Barnes thought it was a try ffs. He never asked about the grounding until later and the fucking the try was disallowed. Wtf are you on about.

Luke, he’s actually the older brother, he’s tiny, 1.93m and
160kg

They are the only brothers to qualify for World’s Strongest Man
