Chiefs v Falcons 19th May

Post by Robespierre »

I'm pleased to see that Toby Flood is back in the team for the semi final, but no Maxime Mermoz? I would have thought he'd have been in the squad so can only assume that he's injured.
Chiefs will be favourites but a Falcons' win would be sweet.

TBH I don't even think it will be close.

Yeah, you’re probably right. Falcons by at least 15😉

Mermoz has barely featured for them all season and isn’t near their first choice 23 when all first choice are fit.

I’m facing a bit of a dilemma, watch Falcons get hammered or watch the Royal Wedding?

No dilemma for me, record the Chiefs game while doing minor gardening work, going for a run, some cooking, wild sex with a sex goddess, reading, watch recorded game, listen to music, read, more congress with said goddess - TBH would even contemplate DIY, washing cars, proper clean for the driveway.............. :smt023

It’s a year since the most heartbreaking game I have ever witnessed in the flesh. When we lost at the death to Wasps at the Ricoh in the semifinal :smt011 :smt010, people blame O’Connor for substituting the props, I blame the ref but in a season where we were thrashed multiple times none of them hurt as much as that semifinal.

The defeat at home to Falcons this season was worse for me.
