Not Heineken Cup 23/24

[Mahoney]

2 had clearly released before cleanly picking up the ball

[Tichtheid]

just the 21 points in the first quarter of an hour then

[JM2K6]

Lovely. Though I think maybe dial down the Lawes love - "one of the greatest ever to play the game" is seriously over egging it.

Flats really loves him, eh?

[Tichtheid]

He's not even the best English 6 that I've seen.

[JM2K6]

Sleightholme takes the piss sometimes. So good.

[petej]

Sleightholme can't be far from an England call up. He might be better than Daly. The Saints coaching team is doing some fine player development work particularly in attack.

[Tichtheid]

just the 31 points in 21 minutes

I'll leave that now

[JM2K6]

I fucking hate that from Mitchell. Your winger is in the ruck and you kick it.

[JM2K6]

Love that from Fin Smith though!

We had a Fin Smith game from Marcus earlier... Would be fun to get the reverse here

[sockwithaticket]

Looking like it could turn into Saints vs. the clock.

Nice to have such interesting options at 10.

[Tichtheid]

Worthy of his brother that one from vdMerwe

[petej]

Clumsy from saint's

[JM2K6]

Very funny. This scoreline is extremely flattering to the Bulls. Dingwall really had to get that away though.

[ASMO]

This obsession with miss passes when there is no need is infuriating, every team does it. A simple pop to Freeman who was outside him and it was trytime.

[JM2K6]

That's a really poor decision. Still, fun half, but Saints need to take this seriously.

[Tichtheid]

"Maybe I'm wrong. We can make a mistake maybe" in a French accent is particularly disarming.

[Mahoney]

Come on Saints, we want 50+

I was clearly insufficiently specific. 50+ more than the Bulls.

[JM2K6]

Decent start

[ASMO]

That was purdy

[Tichtheid]

It's either brilliant attack, poor defence or both, but it's fun to watch

[JM2K6]

Fin Smith definitely Has It, even if his kicks haven't come off today

[Tichtheid]

Clever try

[JM2K6]

Lovely imaginative stuff again, albeit against a team without enough cohesion to really challenge them.

[Tichtheid]

You have to say, that is very good from the coaching team.

[JM2K6]

At first glance that's a clear spear tackle but we'll see

[Tichtheid]

and Bulls hit back again!

[JM2K6]

Mad that Reynal thought that was fine at the time. Dangerous shit.

[sockwithaticket]

Should be a red. Dingwall doesn't land on his neck because he's actively trying not to, nothing to do with Hanekom.

[Mahoney]

Smith is playing some lovely rugby

[JM2K6]

[Mahoney]

Right Fin, have another go

[Oxbow]

Weirdly short penalty advantage.

[Tichtheid]

There's the 50

[JM2K6]

Imagine how many points they could have had if they'd taken this seriously for much of the first half...

Hmmm Fin overdoing the kicks a bit

[Tichtheid]

I hope Flats doesn't think this is preparation for what awaits Saints in Dublin.

[JM2K6]

That's like the fourth kick that's hit a defender or been charged down, Fin. Stoppit.

[JM2K6]

Lol at TNT trying to make out that all of a sudden it's unfair that SA sides have to travel to Europe. Fuck off - they've been parachuted into a tournament they don't belong in, and one of the most obvious problems turns out to be a problem. Boo fucking hoo.

59 points in the end. Bye Bulls


Well played Saints. A joy to watch. Welcome to the semis!
