So good, didn't want half time to come! Not sure which I'd rather play, extremely nervous of both.

I was just thinking exactly that! I feel like I’m watching the match in fast forward the play is so quick!

Harsh on Bordeaux if they end up losing because of an injury to their 7 who played his heart out. Daft that you're only allowed a sub for HIA or blood.

I think the ref is missing so many errors, holding on, coming in from side forward passes etc etc but its made for a very fast exciting game.

Strange that Murphy and Adamson have been given the semi finals. They are consistently two of the poorest refs in the pro 14.

They will take some beating after that display, whoever has to meet them!

Not many aimless box kicking, or kicking the ball away in that game!

Have to say Bordeaux were unlucky not to win that in normal time. Diabolical refereeing by Murphy...some unbelievable decisions given and a lot missed.

Cracking game but I agree with others that both sides really were officiated poorly. I thought Bristol could have switched it up and gone for the match-winning drop goal instead of going for the try in the last few minutes of normal time. It’s a long season and playing a 100 minute game isn’t going to do many favours.

It’ll be interesting if we face them in the final as that means we will play them twice in a short space of time.

Did not know that, how is that fair! Dozens of empty sports stadiums around the country at the mo and we might have to go and play the final as an away fixture!

Bristol under Pat Lam always easy on the eye - for the neutral they produce what is a good advert for 'our' game.
Seemingly heading rapidly toward senility .....Not long or far to go now , in fact, getting worse daily.....
