    Plenty of replays it it's to bordeaux advantage.

    Arundell has been the weak kink of this Bath team. Never should have chipped away possession then jogged back after Bordeaux regained.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,288 ✭✭✭ironingbored


    Very costly knock.on.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 920 ✭✭✭HanShotFirst


    Lucu is someone I underestimated a few years ago

    Very clever player



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,376 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Second Bath lineout that has gone to ground between the transfer from the catcher to the 9. So sloppy.

    Bath are shooting themselves in the foot with the sloppy mistakes and UBB are punishing them every time



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,344 ✭✭✭✭Heroditas


    Agreed, he's improved a huge amount in the last few seasons



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,699 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    I think Leinster could beat this Bordeaux team. We have better forwards than Bath, health notwithstanding.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,376 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    That's a penalty and yellow card against Lucu.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,214 ✭✭✭Dillonb3


    Lucu will be feeling that Barberry hit

    LMAO that's a farce.

    Porter was yellow carded yesterday for something not half as bad.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,288 ✭✭✭ironingbored


    Laughable that there's no check there. Not saying it was head contact but you have to show the replay.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,699 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    this is a disgrace, never beating the allegations.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,699 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    playing the ball on the ground. This is a farce

    that’s baffling, referee needs to be shown that hit from Lucu



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,044 ✭✭✭FrankGrimes


    Does the French TV director determine what replays and angles the TMO can see? Or do they have access to choose when they want to replay and what angles they want to use?


    Hopefully they can. If the French TV director controls it, it would now be in the territory of seriously undermining the integrity of the game. Both those hits on Bath 8 looked like contact to the head, be very interesting to see if they were or weren’t and if the TMO had all the angles needed to make the right decision.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,906 ✭✭✭Dave_The_Sheep


    The TMO has all the angles. The director doesn't control it.

    They can influence the crowd, however.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,376 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Referee had forgotten that he gave Bordeaux a yellow card warning in the first half.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,376 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Sorry, the referee said since it's been a "very long time" since the warning then it no longer holds.

    That's a joke.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 689 ✭✭✭user060916


    I rate him a ref, but he's had a pretty poor second half

    TMO needs to do his job



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,288 ✭✭✭ironingbored


    Loads of replays there because TV director knew there was nothing in the Carreras tackle.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,699 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    Bath beating 17 mean to score that



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,087 ✭✭✭Former Former Former


    Russell is having a shocker



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,699 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    Brilliant defending from Bath in that sequence



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,344 ✭✭✭✭Heroditas


    Great vision from Spencer there. From last-gasp defending in their line to a lineout deep in Bordeaux's 22 😮



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,699 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    Incredible play by Spencer, what vision



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,064 ✭✭✭yosser hughes


    I kind of feel Bath are hanging on a bit- but that's a great play from Spencer.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,376 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Bath have failed to convert excellent territory so many times.
