Sale hanging in well tbf.

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

That's probably the game.

LaRoh running away with it

If Sale can just get the next 4 tries they'll make it a game.

Can't imagine any top seed fancying a match v LaR next

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

I hope they've four strong lads to carry that stretcher

Nowell showing he still has that blistering pace.

Watching Toulouse play gives me a semi

Toulouse crowd on the verge of bursting blood vessels

Nice try for the Tank

Toulouse players are going to fail the ref.

Superb from Ollie Lawrence, superb sin bin period from Bath. Great game of rugby

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

Bath scrum is impressive.

Toulouse look kak.

Oh vok Louis Schreuder. Where do they find this idiot

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.

All over red rover, Willis has been a monster

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.

Which weekend is the last 16? Should be a cracking one to spend on the sofa

Sharks vs Dragons now

Dragons need to win to staying the Challenge Cup

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.

The refs got this right.

Sharks let off the hook there... really poor from everyone bar Am.

Incredible try, must have been twenty passes

Bayonne raping Exeter, that last try was a worldie

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.

Sharks struggling in the conditions

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.
