    He was tackled.

    He lost his feet coming on to the ball, picked it up and had no leg drive, so he was stopped dead in contact.

    It was an unforgiveably back kick.

    Bath have bottled this really after playing so well.
    The scrum half intercept was criminal, then priestland missing touch twice.

    Edit: another chance

    Nothing more boring than watching a team try and pick and go to victory. Easily defended by Toulon and vermulen puts us out of our misery.

    It's their version of having James Heaslip (the good one not the headphones guy) encourage a young mascot to leather some innocent punter in the Clan stand before a Connacht match in the SG.

    It's the famous (or notorious) pilou-pilou war chant. (The Toulon equivalent of "Stand up and fight")

    Ospreys knock on into touch, ref checks. Part of tackle. Half time. Hartley asks if they get to play the lineout. England's captain :o

    Saints v Ospreys is a boring game to watch compared with the great entertainment we had earlier today.

    Whatever you do don't switch over to Castres Racing.

    .....and I gather they're a decent bunch......but they're starting to leave the ground with the score at 3-31 after 50 minutes.

    Is this the same Ospreys that have been battered in the league? :D

    Northampton get a try to take some of the embarrassment away.

    Ospreys couldn't beat their way out of a wet paper bag lately... Saints must be truly in a bad place.

    Yeah have always been easy to get on with.

    I have some sympathy for the side, first and second choice 10s injured and off, but Mallinder has played 10 plenty for them, and it's not been a disjointed backline that's cost them 4 tries.

    Greenwood was absolutely disgusted by Hartley's soft shoulder in the leadup to the 4th.

    ....and Ospreys rein them in again with another try themselves!

    Is that a full strength Saints side? (Apart from injuries)

    How many times have Northampton been utterly stuffed at Franklin's Gardens in the european competitions?

    It's bizarre enough.

    Jesus Harry Mallinder has been shocking in this game.
