European Club Rugby

Back in the day watched a fair few games, when the better half was at uni in Cardiff. Jonah lomu even played for them

Very sad

Leinster humping Glasgow in the European Cup. 33-0 at half time. Jordie Barrett at 12 for Leinster.

[sparky]

50 up for Leinster. The referees should be allowed to those these games early when they are so one-sided.

[sparky]

Jordie Barrett was named Man of the Match.

He has been superb on his Northern sojourn it must be said.

Really feel for him missing that kick in the RWC final too. Played really well.

I wouldnt want to have to carry that with me. Seems a decent bloke.

For anyone watching the Bordeaux Bègles-Munster game, it's worth keeping an eye on their 19-year old fullback, Jon Echegaray. I watched him play for France U20s and he looks like, yet another, class back for Bordeaux. Looks to be another quality player to come from the French Basque country.

47-29 for Bordeaux.

[cgrant]

Both sides very undisciplined. Bordeaux's backline was too good for the Munstermen.

Northampton the better team but the French ref did his compatriots no favours whatsoever

Pollock is already the biggest twat in rugby

I've just watched this match. Stopping the game to put a plaster on your nose FFS. It's still a lottery at the breakdown with Amashukeli.

Bordeaux's bench is weak but they look to have a few injuries given who could be playing. Nankivell had a good 2nd half when he finally got some ball in his hands. Big Ben T was good.

Two utter smashings so far, not a great look for the comp

[Machpants]

Can't see 3 yellows in there?

The referee was Italian, not French.

That explains it even more

Finally a close QF. Toulon and Toulouse tied up 18-18 in the second half.

[sparky]

Toulouse won 21-18.

[cgrant]

Poor game under the rain. Toulouse deserved winners though. Without Dupont and Capuozzo, their strike force is not at the same level. These guys make things happen.

[MiketheSnow]

3 out of 4 semi-finalists

Better than my UFC predictions 😉
