    Nice try there thanks to quick thinking by Ben Youngs for the BP for Leicester.

    Penalty should be reversed for Tom Young charge.

    Lovely try. Stade could have done with the conversion.

    Either way they need another score to get anything from the game.

    Racing v Glasgow game tomorrow will surely be off.

    Wouldn't be surprised if all the games in France are called off.

    Whereabouts in France is Oyannax?

    Hollande has declared a state of emergency and France has closed its borders. There is no way the games will go on.

    Vaguely near Lyon somewhere up in the alps.

    Miles from Paris, it's close to Geneva in Switzerland.

    Racing game will surely be off. I would have thought Oyonnax would not be affected, but a lot of things could be shut down in France tomorrow.

    Awful stuff.

    So nowhere near Paris. The Racing game will absolutely be postponed.

    I think if they are shutting their borders and imposing a state of emergency then pretty much any public gathering will be cancelled. But we'll see, in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter if the game goes ahead.

    You are right. A game of rugby is a minor matter in this awful situation. I think no gathering will go ahead in or near Paris tomorrow......the rest of the country? Well, who knows.

    Munster really should have a field day in this pool. No way they should be at risk at home.


    Should, but won't. Irish rugby is on a downward spiral

    On the basis of what I saw on TV in Welford Road this evening, I think Munster will do very nicely in their pool.

    Hopefully you are right, but I wouldn't be too confident on any Irish team beating them, not that they are great themselves.

    Aye I only watched the first half tonight but I saw nothing from either team that should worry Munster, or any Irish province for that matter. Obviously Leicester seemed to turn it on in the second half a bit but on paper anyway they don't look strong at all. Good front row, snappy 9, big wingers but it's far from a vintage Leicester team.

    It's not looking like anything (not just rugby) anywhere will go ahead tomorrow.

    Wouldn't be surprised if no French team plays.

    obviously it doesnt really matter in the grand scheme of things but if there is multiple postponements then given the way the fixture list is up until the 6n its going to be difficult to reschedule games

    Inevitable. I wouldn't be surprised if none of the other French games go ahead.

    I might be way out off here, but really if there is any travelling team and set of fans are able to empathise, to be sensitive, but also to understand the importance of moving on, it's ulster.

    If anyone reading is going, Oyonnax are asking fans to arrive early and not to bring bags
