Leicester Tigers

great game as always with owens in charge..but i felt he went too far in his non refreeing england were 10yards offside from scrums and rucks and the french always had a couple of players on the wrong side of the ruck slowing the ball down...suppose both teams played the ref..

it would be fairer to have home and away for the semis...and provide very interesting 2nd leg matches

of course he is wrecked ..he went from a full season with leinster which ended with the amlin and rabo finals in may then a few days later was off to join the lions in which he played all the tests ,at the end of that he had a few weeks rest and was back playing warm up games for racing end of augus...

probably sextons bad experience is influencing the leinster players...and some extra cash of course. papers here are saying heaslip is on 1.5 million euro for 3 years...is that an average wage in the premier league?

well ..toulon are not getting everything they want ..they have been turned down by leinsters heaslip and o brien ,who will continue being a thorn in the side of french teams come H cup time..

great match well done to both teams ..nice to see no whinging about the ref ..both teams knew what you get with owens..

well for starters you cant believe a word from austin healy and dayglo who are the mouths of bt..and the 4m is not really very much to offer the welsh clubs when the players might not see euro action for a long time plus face relegation.....and what about lancaster/RFU concerned that english players...

what about the leicester 2nds that went out yesterday..everybody put out a 2nd team if needs fit..

just remember this match when you lot are criticising the irish teams for rotating players around the heinekan cup matches ...the french teams are even worse for fielding weak teams away from home..

its about time the RFU became a shareholder in premier league and financed the clubs thereby centrally contracting the players ...the owners of the clubs are losing money and are driven to take desperate measures like this power grab which will keep on resurfacing every couple of years.....

this is the best explanation of the situation i have seen so far..

its true about the nz offences .but that was the spirit of the game.. i have noticed nigel nearly always gives the losing team a chance ..believe me it hurts

couple of things went against ireland in the end sextons penalty 4mins to go and being penalised for not staying on their feet 20 secs to go even though they had the ball and the two goes for the conversion ..what drama,, brillant.

its probably too late now .but if the RFU had brought the clubs under their wing in the mid 90s like other unions except france then we wouldent be having the clubs stirring things up on a constant basis...and as for tv coverage are bt vision going to give more money than sky to the heino teams?..

don"t agree , you cant ever let the clubs take charge because they will always try to bring things around to suit themselves and that fairness is dirty word.I also cannot see sky melting away and letting a micky mouse operation like bt vision take over ..is this really about getting more money ...
