Highlights of the game which was a good one, even if it was spoiled a bit by the poor standard of officiating:

[Steven Harris]

@Bovidae cant stand this official for me he’s world rugbys favourite son goes looking for any little infraction

[sparky]

20,000+ Bordeaux fans going mad at a European Champions Cup watch party in the city on Saturday.

[pakman]

UBB was lethal on transition.

Glasgow the first team through in the URC playoffs
Beat the Stormers comfortably in the end 36-18

Cracking match in Ireland
Leinster v Llanelli
15-16
Halftime

[sparky]

If the Scarlets beat Leinster, will Jordie Barrett be available for the Hurricanes for the Super Rugby playoffs?

Leinster beat the Scarlets 32-21 to make the URC Semi Finals.

Leinster the better team but Llanelli were in it

Inaccuracy and ill discipline the difference

Nope, general rule is you have to have been a squad member for three weeks of the regular season. Teams can apply for dispensation but only when there are big injury issues.

Sharks-Munster has gone to extra time.

[sparky]

No score in twenty minutes of extra time. So Sharks-Munster goes to penalties.....

[sparky]

A kicking contest is a weird way to settle a Rugby game.

[sparky]

The South Africans have spoiled it with some unsporting antics. No surprise about that.

[Mr Fish]

Premier Sports has shit the bed for me - furious.

[sparky]

The Sharks win the shoot-out 6-4.

But they will be complaints about them shouting at the opposition goalkickers and falling over with "cramp" as the other team's kickers were taking their kicks.

[MiketheSnow]

Amazing

Ange, LBB second try, Coleman

[mariner4life]

Ange's try is as good an individual effort as you will see, but i really like that 2nd ABB try. Fuck he is so very good.

Nowell's finish was as good as you would see from an NRL winger who make a living from doing that shit, outrageous put down.
Leyds' probably won't get the recognition it deserves, that was a very nice piece of skill to pull that off in a couple of heartbeats under pressure.

[antipodean]

@MiketheSnow Some bloody good tries in that. Can't help but feel us exporting our IP has been to our detriment somewhat.
