    Finally the Vest is back now probably our best midfield combination to date. Should be a easy BP win and hoping for a draw between Clermont and 'Sprays.

    Do you think Leicester can win at Ospreys?

    Personally I dont think they can, and if/when Clermont get a 5 pointer tomorrow it wont matter.

    I really hope Clermont go through from this group they play great rugby to watch

    Agreed.

    Their first half at home to Tigers was nothing short of glorious.

    Barnes and co have Clermont for the Cup. I think thats a stretch but I reckon they will top this pool.

    One of the runners up will almost certainly come from this pool so the Ospreys-Tigers game will be important anyway.

    Bower butchered a certain try there.:eek: Great move from the O's

    edit: and Clermont almost get one too. Fantastic start. Also Ryan Jones showed incredible speed. He outpaced Flosch in a 50m race to the tryline!

    Score/time update on Clermont vs Ospreys?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,586 ✭✭✭sock puppet


    Try Bowe! 5-0 to the O's after about 8 minutes.

    edit: Biggar nails the conversion. Him and Byrne have been sublime. Bishop's also been excellent

    Paul James could nt push a tire down a hill. If Adam Jones was nt playing there'd be at least one Osprey's front row in the bin.

    Cheers Jabba but my connection is woefully slow at the moment.

    Latest score?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,801 ✭✭✭Roanmore


    No BP for Ospreys, Clermont lead by 27 - 7. Ospreys haven't scored since Bowe's try (and conversion).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,249 ✭✭✭Stev_o


    Leicester lead the group at the moment. Hoping for a BP demolition job at Liberty next week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,801 ✭✭✭Roanmore


    This is a very tight group, everthing to play for next weekend. Are both games on at the same time?

    Tom Croft is out - see injury thread.

    Absolutely bizarre game of rugby, first twenty was just crazy harum-scarum stuff...As for the Hairsprays they just get flakier as time goes on...dont see them giving Leicester much trouble tbh.
