    Great stuff for Zebre. Both Italian sides winning, Dragons and Glasgow up at/near the top.

    I'm doing the lotto tomorrow.

    So far this week has been terrible for my prediction score.

    I'm sad for Munster losing to Treviso but it's early stages yet. I'm actually delighted for Zebre to finally win a match! let's hope they can keep that momentum going and win a few more (not against us though!)

    It's not really a surprise that Munster lost in Treviso. In their 3 previous games in Italy in the Rabo they've lost two of em.

    Zebre had a man binned at the end, but brought on a sub prop without bringing anyone off. Had 15 men for a crucial phase. Hope this doesn't haunt them.

    A team was fined for it a few seasons back (I think it was Ospreys who beat Leicester), but the result wasn't changed.

    Inquiry into how Zebre had 15 men on the field at some stage towards the end, one was carded. Hope they don't lose the result.

    Edit. Must be going blind, didn't see it already posted above.

    I think it's rightfully impossible to retrospectively change a result. But I hope it doesn't taint the victory.

    Northamptons try today was phenomenal. But not in keeping with this thread I suppose!

    This Morgan guy is top class. Even last season the ospreys looked much more threatening with him at ten than Biggar.

    I wouldn't say top class. He was highly rated at 20s level but didn't live up to the hype. He has some serious flaws in certain areas of his game. But if he can do this sort of thing every week from now on it won't matter!

    Jesus. You know you're muck when you lose 22-9 at home to the Scarlets and the Scarlets have three yellow cards.

    Edinburgh Rugby will surely go bang if they lose the HEC money.

    Which would be really bad for the Pro12 imo.

    Aye they're shocking. Had money on them because I figured Scarlets were away and had just lost to the Dragons. Bastards!

    I think the money will be there. And they SHOULD be a good team. They just need a good sorting out.

    Just had a quick flick through Edinburghs home attendance figures for the last few years.

    Tonights attendance would have been higher than most of their attendances for the 09/10 to 11/12 seasons!

    Glasgow won again tonight to make it 5 from 5.

    They've beaten some of their close competitors too, both Ulster and Lanelli away and then Leinster at home.

    I'll be very interested to see how they get on at Toulon next week.

    Sure will be.

    I'd say they're in with at least a good shout of the Amlin if not one of the best second placed QF qualifiers.

    Zebre drew with Lanelli tonight, could possibly even have won it.

    They're now in 10th on 7 points. That's 3 ahead of Edinburgh and Connacht. Edinburgh are currently beating Treviso and Connacht play away to Leinster tomorrow.

    Very tight at the top of the league . Leinster really need a BP win to keep up.

    Ah jaysus, I don't know about that. A standard win would see only four points between the top five. Even if they lose, I don't think there's any question about Leinster not making the playoffs. We're only six games into a long season.
    We are seeing a definite top five sides tough.

    Does anyone know what happened to Faletau tonight? I heard he hurt his neck.

    Won't hear until the scan results are out, but the Dragons staff seem optimistic. He took a bang to the head while tackling Eli Walker and was stretchered off.
