He'll lose them a game eventually. With Huget gone now permanently and the other injuries, Mola will keep Kolbe at wing and Flake will continue at FB.

Bath are dogsh*t. Were it not for me protecting my position in the FR, I would have gone with MH.

I completely disagree, Bath are several levels below dogshit.

Nothing that sucks this much should have a Dyson label on it .... although the price/performance ratio is about right ...

Brace is genuinely appalling. Just in that last play he missed a knock on in the air, two fumbles on the floor, and a blocking runner preventing a tackle in the space of about five seconds. It's been a litany of missed calls, weird decisions, and apparently completely disregarding ecpr's own advice to the clubs in midweek.

He is not up to this.

Anyway, bath are fucking idiots and I started the match wanting them to win but after those multiple advantages and about forty phases of boneheaded pick and goes I'd be happy to see them lose this. Moronic anti rugby when it counts.

Worryingly, I can't disagree with any of it ^^^. Including wanting the flakes to win: I tried to cover my position by picking Bath by 1, expecting them to lose but me to pick up a margin point: everyone else had Bath by 5+. But they couldn't even lose close.

Miserable discipline by LaR. Won't have a chance if they keep this up.

He damn well is now. Leinster clearing out from the side repeatedly making a contest nigh impossible for LaR at the breakdown now.

{EDIT} Good commentary "communication going only one way at the moment and that's to Leinster"

Encouraging signs from la Rochelle, but they should probably be walking away from this with the try rather than a penalty.

Well LaR will be the happier of the 2 teams, definately coming back into it, will the sun make a difference in the second half?

I don't think so. Not sure why LaR chose to play that way around because the Sun will have move both West and lower in the 2nd half and so shouldn't trouble Leinster. Bad call given they have home knowledge.

Not sure why Leinster were not pinged at that scrum, Stampy O'Roidy clearly went to ground there

Was just thinking that surely they must be due a card given how many pens they've given away inside their own 22 to stop La Rochelle from scoring.

Yeah, he really needed to give that. Dulin had every chance of going over in the corner.

Leinster looked to commit at least a couple offsides there and VDF was straight off his feet at one of the rucks in front of the posts. La Rochelle need points for all their possession and territory.

If that ball is on the line then it must be a try FFS. Carney said it was on the line.

He's not been great today, but that was a big turnover from Leyds.

Yeah, nowt wrong with it. If his hands were on the ground first it was for such a fraction of a second that you can't realistically call it.
