Edinburgh v Toulouse HC Quarter Final

Fishooks12

Thought this might deserve a thread of its own

I fancy the Scots for an upset tbh

Toulouse are injury ravaged and have a had trouble away in Europe this year already

wonton

would hugely appreciate if someone could message me about the game watching too.

it's crazy that edinburgh are actually here considering the only team they are above in the rabo is aroni.


don't expect anything other that tolouse winning comfortably but really hope visser has a great performance, will be his biggest match yet and biggest till he gets capped for scotland in june.

Well My Premium Tv is pretty good for Watching Rugby on.

If you don't know what im on about google, and see for yourself.

C'mon Bradley

Michael Bradley is one of the best Irish coaches at the moment. Hopefully Edinburgh do well today and give him the recognition I believe he deserves.

Big Nelly

I expect a big Toulouse win. But hopefully Edinburgh can do something to upset them.

Big Nelly

Try for me.....

thomond2006

Try?!

Fishooks12

Try!?!

roycon

google twomintpork or atdhe maybe they can help people if they are looking to watch the match or as back up to their tv....

DDC1990

What a start!

Fishooks12

BOOM!

Hon the Scots!

funky penguin

Ooooo! Great start by Edinburgh!

Big Nelly

Why the hell did Nigel Owens need to go to TMO. He was looking straight at the player grounding the ball.......anyway nice start for Edinburgh

CIARAN_BOYLE

I honestly think referees have become more conservative/cowardly in this regard. Seems to be a lot less of them willing or brave enough to make any sort of potentially contentious call. In the same way I think some refs do the same with discipline relying on the citing process too much.

Anyway, a discussion for another time. C'mon Edinburgh!

Lapin

The ref was right in front of that try.
Going to the TV ref for something like that shows a lack of faith in his own decision making.

Awful kick there by Laidlaw.

Sangre

Am I the only one who say a blatant knock-on before that try when Edinburgh tried to catch the ball?

It went backwards, if anyone knocked it on it was a Toulouse player..

I thought so right away but with the lack of any reaction (by commentators and here) and me missing any replays shown meant that I just assumed I got it wrong.

Blackheath

Edinburgh have started brightly, hope they can keep it up

Toulouse player knocked it back, Edinburgh player then picked it up.

Blackheath

Poor line out

Fishooks12

Lovely offload from Visser

Good game

mar-z

Excellent kick from visser

My name is Mud

Commentary from sky is poor as usual, and murrayfield sounds like a feckin disco

I'm an old man inside...really

mar-z

Stupid there.

Yellow could completely change the game.

Edit: Missed the kick though

cruiserweight

Soft yellow IMO

matthew8

I like the new yellow card thing sky have.

mar-z

Owens is killing Edinburgh here :eek:

two yellows for Edinburgh. Game over

Big Nelly

Edinburgh doing a Scotland on this and getting half the team in the bin!!!!

Blackheath

Self distruct button well and truely pressed

And two yellows definitely will. :mad:

CIARAN_BOYLE

13v15 this is a tough one for Edinburgh

ray jay

Another yellow just as Toulouse are starting to turn up the heat. Edinburgh will be lucky if they haven't lost the match by the end of this 10 minute phase.

matthew8

Edinburgh seem to have well and truly blown it.

corny

Jesus that boy can move!!

Big Nelly

Edinburgh just stood and watched him run throiugh.......

totallegend

Some try from Matanavou, what pace.

Fishooks12

game over now

the first sin binning was pure stupidity

Nobody even tried to tackle him, he ran past 3 players and they just watched him.....

Is Jacobsen the same guy who got sinbinned against Wales when they made that insane comeback to win 31-24? That was really stupid too.

thomond2006

Can't blame Blair's kick for Matanvou's try, chase was a disgrace.

Cracking finish though.

SteelyDanJalapeno

Shocking Refereeing from Owens

That was Scott Lawson, plays for Gloucester.

I thought he was due to become eligible for Scotland through residency rules this year? Anyone know what the story is?

Blackheath

Nigel Owens know how to ruin a game
