The Finals are being held in Spurs Stadium next year.
As long as it's a clearly defined process, I'd agree...but we shouldn't go back to refs not making any decisions on field and everything being fobbed off on the TMO. A prescribed wording to go to the TMO with when they didn't see what happened - sure. Use the wording to force them to only use that option when they and the assistant are unsighted, otherwise they'll just play it safe like they used to.
Onfield - try, onfield - no try, onfield - no view, or something like that. I think the clear and obvious standard applied against the onfield decisions is a good framework, and wouldn't like to see that lost.
Game on in Toulouse..
Exeter have started very well.
That sounds almost too sensible to consider!
Cant see busby getting the freedom of the city of Toulouse anytime soon.
great game.
Incredible to have Ramos on the bench
Clearout needs looking at
This is one complicated decision for the ref, clear out looks dodgy too.
looks like penalty try to me
good call. Blue knock on.
Dunno how that clear out is considered legal.
Who are people cheering for here? I'd like Toulouse gone and I love a good underdog win and Exeter have been going great… but three English teams in the last four just seems wrong!
exeter getting every single decision going their way.
Currently I'm team Busby, he clearly doesn't like Toulouse and gives zero fvcks!
I'd probably lean towards Exeter, get rid of Toulouse.
The amount of off feet at the breakdown is gas, both sides getting away with it all the time
that was too easy!
Is the hear goin to be a factor for Exeter in the 2nd half I wonder
Bit of a sickener seeing French and English u20 players going straight into Champions Cup and international games and looking right at home while our lads basically disappear into the AIL for 3 years.
Toulouse just shifted up a gear and I don't see Exeter having an answer. But they've done it before...
They're just having the craic now.
Exeter looking more and more disorganised.
Jesus.
Toulouse have ripped Exeter to shreds in these ten minutes.
Can you be winning 43-19 with 20 mins to go and still not be that impressed with Toulouse?
Comeback is on!
Willis is some operator
pity, I feel Leinster would have been automatic winners if Exeter won today
Semi final TV picks
Sat 4th 5:30pm Leinster v Northampton RTE2
Sun 5th 3pm Toulouse v Harlequins ITV1
The English teams have done well but I’d be shocked if Leinster and Toulouse don’t win the semis comfortably.
Lol
I noticed this on Sunday and was rather surprised that neither the commentator nor Ben Kay (who was busy drooling about how great Exeter were playing) commented on it. The TMO also must have missed it but, given the dreadful officiating in that game, that's not really much of a surprise.

Toulouse FC are playing there on the 3rd May, Toulouse v Harlequins is on the 5th May that should surely be enough time to host.
