    I can get maybe 1 in 10 clips to play, be it on mobile or PC and there's never any error message to indicate why it doesn't work.

    there's meant to be a message shown if the video you're playing is geoblocked but a lot of the time it just doesn't play with no indication of why

    Nah, 100Mb/sec fibre. If it's geoblocked then
    1) **** geoblocking and
    2) at least say that

    Stop beating around the bush and tell us what you really think :pac:

    Well, since you ask..... ;)

    I'm just imagining being a home fan on the bleachers behind that goal, he's chucked a home win in Europe in Round 1, and thats often fatal

    Munster doing well. Strong wind will be in their favor second half if they can prevent the chiefs from scoring in this half

    Why is it that 9 times out of 10 when there's one of these "missed grounding" stories, it's an Englishman? No wait, don't answer that, it's rhetorical.

    Watching today's game it's impossible to think that a few years ago Bath went a decade unbeaten at home and were more feared than New Zealand.

    Ya watched it. Ref gave a penalty try to Racing with 4 mins to go. Never seen a ref give it first time before. Pulling down a maul I think.

    According to the commentary on the round up, Scarlets were infringing far too many times.

    I’ve seen it given for mauls before, not very often though.

    No, I was watching the Ulster game. I expected them to get at least a narrow win at home, to be honest. Wasn't expecting that.

    The ref was quite harsh on Scarlets. He pulled Ken Owens for not throwing into a lineout too.

    The Scarlets 10 Angus O' Brien had a bit of a nightmare (in for the injured Patchell). Dan Evans came on for him I think. Evans seems to have lost his way there after a fine season last year. Scarlets had about 75% possession but it was a bad night there. Racing did very little but got a try right before half time.

    One of the many missed kicks at goal would have seen them through.

    He had a very solid game. Moved to 11 at the start as Imhoff failed a fitness test and a guy came in for his debut at 15.

    Given the content of the tweet, are you sure that's the correct adjective? ;)

    Headline in the Telegraph;

    Bath ban players from celebrating tries before grounding the ball after Freddie Burns howler against Toulouse.

    :D

    Absolutely no question but the ref was totally correct there.... He basically tackled the leading player to the ground

    Going back to the Burns debacle. As hilarious as it was and how much of an idiot he was - fair play to Maxime Medard for not giving up on that!
