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

Pollock is already the biggest twat in rugby

47-29 for Bordeaux.

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

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.

Toulouse won 21-18.

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.

3 out of 4 semi-finalists

Better than my UFC predictions 😉

Steve Diamond’s season-ending ban was meted out because he called a group of match‑day officials “fluffybunnies” before telling the television match official he should retire.

Steve Diamond’s season-ending ban was for profanity aimed at match officials

So the deadline has passed with the regions refusing to promise to sign the unknown contracts. What's next do you think? I'm guessing a fudged compromise which in reality is an embarrassing climbdown for the WRU.

Reiko Ioane's off to Leinster for next season.

More chance of guessing the lottery numbers
