Champions Cup 2019/20 - Round 2

50 50 for me. But not unfair to give.

The thing is Treviso have been the wrong side of em all day. And harsh they can't check the forward pass in build up.

errlloyd

Think he bat's it up.

Bridge93

Treviso robbed. Blatant forward pass and dubious penalty

171170

Arseh0le refereeing from the Scottish gimp. Early push from Saints in the scrum followed by two forward passes and the clown gives Saints a gift penalty to win the game.

Worse than Nigel's one eyed anti-Treviso performance in Thomond last May.

AdamD

Ref has screwed Benetton there. Really poor stuff to miss that forward pass. Scrum before it was shambolic too.

Northampton win it at the death! How important might that be

Even Toulouse's last gasp try could be vital later in the competition.

There's no sport like it for drama in the dying moments

Won't be for Leinster. They'll win 6 out of 6 in this group.

Talk about putting the mockers on it. :mad:

Leinster have a history of underperforming in France. It's not at all guaranteed that they'll beat Lyon today.

Perhaps but if they don’t beat NH home and away at least id be surprised and disappointed.

Sport ain't always that straightforward

BT sports commentator has called Mike McCarthy 'Mick' twice despite being in the booth with him, and was waxing lyrical about 'George' Lowe.

He just did it again as I read this!

corny

Criminal from Henshaw not to put Lowe in.

RugbyLover123

The full back there didn’t look like he placed the ball down for the 22? Just slid over the line?

Yeah wtf. Just let the ball go

Interested Observer

If Kearney isn't catching those then what is the point.

Lot of poor play there, Henshaw in not passing, Ringrose kicking it away.

I sort of wish that McCarthy would step in and correct his pronounciation of ‘Tad’ Furlong and Luke ‘McGra-th”.

corny

Who the **** is Tad Furlong. Surely the commentator has it heard it pronounced before. Is he trolling?

testtech05

Furlong was very lucky to get away without a peno there. Lying on top of the man after ye tackled him just stopped him presenting it back.

Good try Leinster after a VDF turnover and run from Ryan

The lyon loosehead made a brains of pinning him in tho.

Lyon decided that tactic might work as well.....should have been about 4 penalties before the try

Just relentless from Leinster. Ultra physical.

Brilliant try but lung busting stuff.

FrancieBrady

Great bit of work there from Fardy onwards.

Dave_The_Sheep

How the ref didn't give Lyon a penalty after Ryan was brought down, we were straight off our feet in that ruck.

Great continued pressure to finish though.

Ah lads.

He hasn't been calling it all game, Lyon have come flying in from the side and off their feet from the start

A-Train

Luke McGrath has been terrible so far in this game.

Just caused a yellow and Lyon a chance to score now.

FrancieBrady

Disaster!
