anywhere to get this online?

Hipkiss in under the posts.

Dupuy adds the 2 points, and shows why he's keeping Lion Harry Ellis out of the starting XV.

That was close. No try for Leicester though. Vesty could be a real worry for Leinster.

7-0 Leicester, completely on top but bath look rudderless.
Anyone know why mauger didnt start? Injury to keeephim out for 3 weeks perhaps?

Kalashnikov_Kid

streams anyone?

wixfjord

Ill answer my own q re: mauger, guys on planet rugby saying back injury. Would be a big loss for the final, but cant see it keeping him out for that long.

Easy win for the Tigers completely dominated Bath in every area of the game. Im guessing a Leicester vs Quins final.

Just caught the last couple of minutes then they stopped it before showing replays and analysis

Murphy has to be drafted into the Lions somehow with the form he's showing, Podge must be irate at him producing excellent games.

wixfjord

Yeah murphy has been absolute magic this season, just on the right side of genius. Did you see the back hand pass to hamilton on his own line! That wouldnt have come off for Ireland!

Hoping quins win this to keep my accumulator going! Hopefully should be a good exciting game.

Oh dear :eek:
Mike Catt! MOTM what a performance.

17-0 to London Irish so far in the 2nd semi-final.

Congrats to Mike Catt on scoring a try at 37, the oldest player in GP.

Stev_o

Great year to be a Irish player, unless Murphy's captaincy is taken away which is unlikely we will have a Irish captain lift the ML,GP and HC.

I'm amazed he didn't tbh. Crackin player. The Lions don't need to hate him for playing in England either.
