This Weekend in Europe

[OakhamTiger32]

Ospreys red card after 37 seconds.. going to be a tough one vs Racing after that! Always harsh that kind of incident as no intent but I guess by the letter of the law...

Very similar to Odogwu for Sale the other week, can’t have people being kicked in the face accident or not

Completely agree. Right decision for sure

[OakhamTiger32]

Looking like a BP win for Cardiff so as it’s stands pool 5 looks like this:

1) Leicester 14
2) Cardiff 11
3) Pau 5
4) Calvisano 0

Nice to see something positive for a change!

Don't know how Cardiff could be so dire a fortnight ago and sparkle tonight? Reminds me of another team....

It would obviously be of huge benefit to us if Pau can do a job on Cardiff next week as well as us winning in Calvisano

Hogg carving up Sale, what a signing that was!

Perhaps our 2nd XV was better than we thought

Really good game this. We are, to say the least, in trouble vs Chiefs.

Toulouse beat Montpellier 23-9 in the rain and have a good hold on their group.
However, the conditions dominated and they only managed to score two tries, both by Ntamack.
Cheslin Kolbe came on as a replacement in the second half to a warm welcome from the crowd. Maybe he'll be in the starting XV for next weekend's return match in Montpellier.

Really, Sale by Diamonds own admission were poor, Yarde in particular was indirectly responsible for 2 of the tries and arguably all 3. That along with his dropping the ball over the line was why he got the Shepherd’s crook at half time

Did anyone manage to watch any of the Challenge Cup live streams on https://www.epcrugby.com/ I tried a couple of times and gave up.

I've started and not finished watching several Sale games this season.
A few too many show ponies for my liking.
Excellent back row though.
I can't think of another team that bores me more.

Exeter?

Exeter?

Sale!

[Robespierre]

Did anyone watch the Toulouse v Montpellier game? You’d have been impressed with Wayne Barnes’ French! There was a range of nationalities on the pitch including French, SA, NZ, Oz, Georgia, Scottish, Fiji and he coped admirably! Toulouse hooker Julien Marchand, must surely be the front runner to be captain of the French XV come the 6N. He must only be 23 or 24 and with prop Cyrille Baille the French front row will indeed be formidable.

[JP14]

Yes I believe Wayne recently did an A Level in French to improve himself in Europe.
