    What did the TMO miss?

    A knock on in a maul by Gloucester before they were awarded a penalty and kicked 3 points.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭ScrubsfanChris


    Toulouse run the ball out of their own 22 all the way over halfway and THEN kick the ball away.
    What kind if play is that?


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    In at the side on Medard, right in front of Whitehouse. Nothing.

    Toulouse 9 is poor.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    Richie Gray seems to have lost a lot of bulk.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    I hate when refs coach the game. Shouting at Gray not to touch it whilst offside from a knock on. Let him go for it if he wants then penalise it. He doesn’t go around shouting about low tackles.

    Whitehouse has a habit of stifling a game

    Every ref in the game does this. Every single one.

    I’ve only ever seen it at mauls with the likes of Owen repeatedly shouting “away” haven’t seen one as blatant as Nige Jr here for a while.

    Better from Tls


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,340 ✭✭✭Dave_The_Sheep


    Good man Austin. Says Toulouse looking ragged and loose ... then they score ten second later. Stellar.

    Now we see classic Cipriani
    When the pressures on he fades away......


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    BT offering no insight into Glaws effectively being dominated all half here. It’s been smash and grab from them. They’re holding tight for the comeback.

    200 tackles to 40

    In fairness the commentator has referred to the total dominance of Toulouse in the second half and the fact that Gloucester have had to make over 200 tackles so far.
    edit; Gloucester crowd booing every correct decision against them, pain in the arse

    Gloucester not really winning any of the collisions here. Struggling in possession.

    I know! Just after I posted it!


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    Bloody hell, Whitehouse had to be told about that knock on. He was looking at it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,744 ✭✭✭degsie


    Hate this booing shyte from the fans


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,881 ✭✭✭yosser hughes


    Daft mistake by Toulouse there
    edit: then they win the lineout.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭ScrubsfanChris


    Gloucester lucky it was even that close, still a mediocre team.

    Toulouse made heavy weather of it. Gloucester look very average.

    No composure in the end from Gloucester and Toulouse not much better.

    Gloucester fans very unhappy at the conclusion there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,744 ✭✭✭degsie


    Was hoping for a better opening game. Tls deserved winners at the end.


  • Subscribers Posts: 41,238 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    Five away wins out of five in Europe tonight....

    Quite unusual


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,564 ✭✭✭RugbyLover123


    Gloucester are bang average. I think the Premiership has Saracens, and then there is very very little between about 8 teams. Don’t see any of them challenging in Europe this year unless Saracens decide to give it a go.


  • Registered Users Posts: 94 ✭✭BakeMeACake


    Whitehouse was not inept which must be a first


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,025 ✭✭✭Digifriendly


    Apart from half backs and Polledri when he came on Gloucester looked very average. Their CC campaign looks doomed already and they have been less than impressive in Premiership.

    It'd be great to know at a glance what channells and what times what games are on.
