Why on earth did Sale not take 3 points from bang in front against the wind?

Disappointing to go in this far behind, having played some really positive rugby. There have been some absolutely baffling reffing calls, the non-deliberate knock on being most obvious, but the penalty for not rolling away was a shocker, and letting a maul collapse onto a seriously injured player is an absolute doozy.
If Ford and Warr can use the breeze well in the second half we might sneak it, but suspect this will end up a frustrating afternoon

They'll be a real banana skin in the lower half, Sarries lesser so, but in a Cup match capable of turning over a careless side

Now that card decision made sense in everything the Ref said, & what I saw

Bath look pretty good. Chris Cloete still a good player.

Bath holding up much better than expected.
Spencer and Russell are a superb pair of half backs playing together
Not bad individually either

The pack's been doing very, very well to give those two a platform. Thought they might get overwhelmed by the quality of the Toulouse 8.SaintK wrote: Sun Jan 21, 2024 4:17 pmSpencer and Russell are a superb pair of half backs playing together

Bath come to Cape Town
It's actually really difficult to find any team that will be a pushover in the knock out round. Which is as it should be.

Nice little move that for Frost to get Exeter on the board. For a moment he looked like he expected to be whistled back, unused to having so much free space to run into.

The ENORMOUS Bayonne tighthead has been burnt badly twice in pretty quick succession.

Exeter playing like they really don't want to face La Rochelle in the next round.

Someone seems to have told them that if they win they avoid La Rochelle.

Exeter were unfortunate with the yellow to Jenkins, but that's a stone cold red.

Sharks will top the combined pool. But the SA teams can't host semi finals.
