    I thought that would have been a pen to Leicester up the other end of the pitch, but great attack by Toulon there.

    Why DG that, keep hold of the ball, gives Leicester a chance.

    So, most importantly - Toulon, please, please, please, please, please, PLEASE annihilate Saracens.

    I hope Bastareaud has Ashton's card marked.

    Anyone spot Armitage's reaction to Tualagi's penalty? Just not a nice guy

    In saying that it has to be one of the most brainless penalties to concede. Just get away from it and take the lineout on the Toulon 22

    Hopefully they will bury Saracens in the semi.

    Toulon Munster?

    I deleted that post cause it sounded like I wanted Munster to lose. :o

    I'm happy so long as Saracens don't win the damn thing. Preferably they'll get a good tanking in the semi.

    I was going to post that I'd like a team that didn't buy their way to success in the final, but then I remembered they're playing Saracens :/

    There's going to be a moral dilemma for a lot of neutrals!

    Oh I don't think so. I just want Saracens to be wiped of the pitch, even if we end up with an all French final.

    At least Toulon have a bit of history and appear to have some sort of community attached to them as opposed to Sarries who just seem to be aiming for the ex-pat South African Rand.

    Pillou Pillou for me in that one.

    I'd pay good money for him to be on the end of a Downey special from today. He wasn't happy with Flood tackling him either.

    Toulon might have bought players in, but they are a real community club with a passionate and loyal supporter base. The players that have moved there have learned French, integrated into the community and they are loved in return. Much much different to Saracens. Easy for me to pick. I'll be throwing ripped up newspapers around my living room.....

    How could anyone not love him? I'm even willing to ignore the fact that he is English.
