Really like that from Atkinson, hunted down his opposite number and gave Cardall the opportunity for the turnover. Shame about Gopperth's kick.

Quality game this. Why are Pests hoofing the ball away v 14 men? Esp MH who are the laziest and least fit side in T14.

It's damp and greasy out there. if they get a bit of a lead I reckon we'll see them be less afraid of keeping the ball in hand.

Porter's keeping things very zippy, really liking it.

Cruse is having a really good game, too.

Look at Picamoles now cw with when he was at Saints. MH is the rugby equivalent of the elephant's graveyard.

Bored of this sh*tshow. Over to Brive/Zebre.

I'm thinking we're kicking a lot because their fullback got a red...

I view Barbeary a bit like I view Jack Willis - as a neutral (even though all Wasps are cunts, along with every single fan of theirs) I find myself willing them to do well. Can he hook and chuck is the big question though.

Can we clone Barbeary please? 12 times, figure we still need some locks.

Matching each other error for error at the moment. By 36 Bismark shouldn't be throwing two crooked on the trot.

That was a nice turnover by Picamoles there.

Ben Morris. Reasonable squad player, but nothing more. Certainly nowhere near the calibre of Willis and Shields.

Pretty much at the bottom of our flanker stocks, I believe even Oghre has been used at flanker ahead of him.

Just saw him take a lineout and make a tackle. All is well.

Looks like it might be time to get Sops off. Mistakes starting to outweigh the good touches.

Odds on him picking up a third in the remaining 17 minutes?

Le Bourgeois and Odogwu very disconnected in defence there.

MH make the mistake of trying to pass the ball for the 1st time this season.

Get the feeling he scored that, but can't give it.

Zebre let a potential win against French opponents slip away last weekend, Brive are bottom of the table (I think) so might not be taking this too seriously
It's a 3rd team. I don't even recognise some of the players. If you take it seriously, you should win.
Well they only just managed, 16-18 the final score

A very nice way for Atkinson to finish off an assured performance.
