Saints are out to get revenge on Bourgoin 6 for his punch on best me thinks.

Best's such a headcase sometimes. Remonstrating with the ref could've gotten a red there.

Best's eye looks pretty bad: reckon he will murder someone when he gets back on the field.

Reckon it was gouging.

How he got decked in the eye and it looks awful id be pretty f*cking pissed if the same thing happened and on top of that being binned so that ref doesn't look like a home towner.

Monster tackle on Para cut in half!

Someone should beat the sh1t into Bourgoin number 6 punching twice at some in the face when they are being held by your own players, f*cking disgraceful hope the worst for him.

Bourgoin are an absolute disgrace.

chupacabra

This game is falling apart, bourgoin covering themselves in disgrace.

WOAH absolute disgrace from the replacement bourgoin second row there. "A punch" says the lines man, 3 ****ING punches more like, one on Murray... unacceptable dirty play from that piece of **** player, lengthy ban i think.

Looks to me that the Saints player had both feet off the ground well before the hit went in.

Number 18 for Bourgoin gets sent off for three cowardly punches thrown in revenge.

Stupid FFR will ignore it though and let him play on believe me, f*cking disgraceful.

Oh the ref was awful, but way too easy for a ref that bad to then go on and send him off.

I'd have been pissed too, but you want to try and remain in control.

Thank God he'll never be reffing Ireland.

Am in Brive (wife's home town) at the moment where the locals are celebrating Northamton's win as it guarantees Brive a place in the Heineken next year.

I never thought I'd see the French hoping for an English win over a French team !

It's been a few years since Brive have been in the Heineken, had a few dodgy seasons including relegation since they won the HC in mid 90s. Nice to see them back in the competition.

I have a soft spot for Brive after living there for a year about 10 years ago now. Used to go see them play most weeks. (only 3 euro in)

The games against Toulouse were incredible occasions with attendances of 30,000 out of a population of 50,000 !! The place is rugby mad.

All the locals seem to be for Leinster this evening. Should be good craic watching the match amongst the French.
