    How much healing are people hoping for from this weekend?

    Leinster and Munster will get TBP
    Ulster will get LBP at least but I think it's a game they can win.
    Connacht will lose. Monty will over power them

    Donnacha Ryan start for Racing, Zeno on the bench. Keatley starts for treviso.

    technically one...but he had very little game time - Spencer

    I do think we need to remember it is only 2 weeks since the final

    I doubt they England regulars would have featured in any event

    Wasn't it Youngs and Heinz they selected?

    EDIT: I see Spencer was called up after the semi-final, with Heinz out injured.

    I think that with the senior internationals limited to around 15 games for Saracens this season, that they'll hedge their bets in Europe and go with basically this team for the group stage and drop maybe drop one or two internationals into each matchday squad. Then full pelt if they reach the quarters.

    In fairness that team is still good enough to qualify.

    I'm actually attending the Sarries-Racing game and am looking forward to seeing what is effectively a rugby game in a large nightclub

    Between the pills and the ointment I expect the rash to be gone by Saturday. The burning sensation when I urinate has already started to ease.

    you were warned about a layover on Bangkok on the way home from Japan

    Common problem in New Zealand, or so I hear.

    Those poor sheep.

    I didn't realise Hunter-Hill left Edinburgh for Saracens.
    Big things were expected of him similar to Lewis Carmichael.

    This is some sort of Alan Partridge level of madness here: https://twitter.com/Murray_Kinsella/status/1195395841030098950?s=20




  • What a try from Simpson




  • Oh please let that be given. Absolutely sensational.


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


    Toulouse all the possession and territory but 7-3 down


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


    What an opening try. Toulouse we’re doing fine, their 9 tried to milk a penalty at the ruck and threw an awful pass that was then kicked out on the full.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,305 ✭✭✭Dave_The_Sheep


    And again. Some pace. Pulled back?


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


    This is a mad. Toulouse absolutely killing themselves.


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


    Sam Warburton is tough to listen too.
    Not having to listen to Healy for the last few months was bliss.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,748 ✭✭✭corny


    Knock on couldn't have been more obvious.

    That's where you really want the TMO to come in. Clear as day knock on


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


    Cipriani - breaths
    Healy - Ahh that's brilliant!


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


    Toulouse are infuriating. Going through the motions


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


    You’re never as bad as they say you are and you’re definitely never as good as they say you are. Especially if it’s BT on Cipriani.

    The TMO must have been in the Jack's. Back thou to point out a nothing incident at the end

    The Simpsons!


  • Registered Users Posts: 527 ✭✭✭mogwai81


    Shocking miss by the TMO in fairness!

    BT can’t help themselves, they now have Armitage as a pundit.
