French Top 14 Jonny Wilkinson's Toulon v Clermont

Judgement Day

Just a reminder for all Jonny Wilkinson aficionados that this Top 14
semi-final is on ESPN and Setanta at 3.30pm today. Clermont are the favourites going into this match but have been struggling with inconsistent form lately. A full preview here: http://www.scrum.com/francetop14/rugby/story/115523.html
Something to cheer me up before the Munster/Leinster 'encounter'.

Felipe Contepomi's Toulon I believe. :mad::P

I'd love to see Clermont do it, but I can't look beyond a team with Contepomi. Come on Toulon. :pac:

It's live on Setanta 1 too IIRC.

I kinda fell in love with Clermont this year after having the craic with a group of their supporters during the QF. Definitely supporting them all the way.

Plus I have a man crush on Parra.

Just realised Toulon can still do a double.

Jonny we know you are a good player, no need to join a discussion forum to try and prove it.

Judgement Day

Jonny gets his penalty. 3-0 to Toulon!

And Floch replies with a DG.

Judgement Day

Good stream here: http://www.justin.tv/twomint#r=Y5Ks938~

Clermont look really dangerous.

Judgement Day

Jonny Drop Goal!!

Judgement Day

Parra strikes back with a good penalty for Clermont 6-6.:(

sock puppet

That was a very harsh penalty. It wasn't even clear that the ball had been touched by a Clermont player.

Judgement Day

Easy penalty for Jonny 9-6.

ScrubsfanChris

Missed Parra Penalty for Clermont
Still 9-6

Crash

Clermont will be very disappointed with nothing out of that period of play.

ScrubsfanChris

Why didn't the ref go to the TMO there. It was at least with a look.
Clermont all over Toulon at the end of that half.

Still 9-6 Toulon

Judgement Day

Toulon had a narrow escape there. Good decision not to go upstairs - brave to make the call without TMO.

Judgement Day

9-9 as Parra gets his penalty. Wilkinson and Contepomi both on.

Judgement Day

12-9 as Clermont go ahead with a Parra penalty. :(

Judgement Day

Strange decision by touch judges disallows a definite JW penalty.

johnnysmack

Looked over to me. How could the touch judges miss that?

Judgement Day

Easy penalty for Parra right in front of the posts. 15-9 to Clermont.

toomevara

Great hospital pass from Dr.Phil...lucky to get out of that one...

smurphy29

Jonny's pen certainly looked over, even on this stream you could see it.

Toulon very lucky to get that penalty - Clermont lads looked on their feet to me...

Judgement Day

Jonny slots another penalty 12-15.

toomevara

Superb support from the Toulon fans...making an amazing noise.

funky penguin

Try Clermont!



OoooooooO!!!! Controversial....that was definitely a knock on! :eek:

toomevara

Superb, superb team try from Clermont....

Risteard

Bad decision there IMO.

cruiserweight

Try Clermont, should have gone to TMO for confirmation definitely dropped over the line and maybe re-gathered

sock puppet

Oh controversial:eek: Toulon will be very pissed off

Weird one...I'd give it...just.

regathered. gutsy call by the ref though. I still think its a try

Judgement Day

Oops Clermont get a very, very dubious try (converted) 22-12 to Clermont.

ScrubsfanChris

That knock on was as clear as day, second time the ref refused to use the TMO in this game. Touch judge should has seen it though.

smurphy29

Think it was a try - just. Looked like he regathered it. Should have gone upstairs in any case though.

Parra is quite the player I must say.

toomevara

Feck, Dr Phil's just poleaxed Rougerie there...lovely play from Toulon, and some other dudes flaked out now!!!

Risteard

Fantastic try.

Podge_irl

Lovely try from Toulon. Game on.

funky penguin

What a final ten mins!

Try Toulon!

ScrubsfanChris

What a try from Toulon !!!!!

Kristopherus

Game on indeed !!!!

cruiserweight

Parra looks to be out of the game.

3 point game now, conversion nailed

Stev_o

Go on SBW! Man I hate Parra....

toomevara

Lovely try, but clear forward pass to Van Niekerk no?

Judgement Day

Try Toulon and conversion by JW - score 22-17 to Clermont.

smurphy29

Wonderful try there. Exciting finale here.

Conters chip from his own 22... ah them was the days...

Think it looked alright from the side camera.

toomevara

Johnny to try to level it...great stuff...

cruiserweight

Sides level and a couple of minutes left

toomevara

Monster kick from JW...
