Mercer is just a class act, mad that he isn't deemed good enough for England

Eddie prefers a bigger no. 8

Thought it was because he was playing in France

He went to France because he wasn't getting a chance with England

Looks like he has bulked up to me

Yes I know but the fact that he is now in France is what is stopping him being selected at present. I don’t remember him being this good when he was at Bath

I feel like he was but he was just playing in a rubbish team, feels similar to Weise in that when he was at Cheetahs nobody thought he was going to be that good but he comes to Tigers and looks like a world beater

[Big Dai]

If he didn’t see it that way Big Dai he isn’t going to give it. Maybe you should offer your services for the return leg at Kingspan

There are non so blind as those who do not want to see.

Or those who prefer to blame one of the worlds officials for things they think they see. That’s what I’m saying if you think Barnes missed so much you need to put him right. Unless you’ve already given up of course

Blame. Harsh term indeed. He already has a team to help him, and they didn't assist......Fundamentals going missing every week IRRESPECTIVE of who is refereeing.

In your opinion of course which you are more than welcome too, but please don’t make the non so blind comment as I happen to disagree with you

[Rugbygramps]

Quinn’s coming back into this 15 points down now, though questionable pass on that try

[Old Hob]

Pollard on. Keen to see how/what he does in action.

[Rugbygramps]

Am I the only one who is really irritated by Marlers antics at ruck time. Often standing way past the ruck on the wrong side small holding back, has no right to be there, but is allowed to get away with it

[Ian Cant]

Watching some of the games this week end it appears only a few realise the importance of taking points on offer: eg Just one example yesterday: Munster 13-8 down at Exeter with a few minutes to go and get a penalty almost in front of the posts: both defences had been well on top but Munster went for the try and got turned over!! Surely 13-11 would have been much better to take back to Ireland for next week.
Today, Quins don’t take penalties then go behind 31-0. ! Now coming back into the game.
Different mind set needed for 2 legs!!!! Ideally win but if losing take all points on offer!!!!!

Thank you for recognising my right to an opinion.

Thus I will continue to speak my mind as you will yours.

Your agreement or otherwise to the opinion stated is totally irrelevant to its existence.

I believe officials are deliberately turning a blind eye to what some think are minor offences, which to others are fundamentals of the game.

May I just ask which years law book you’re referring to, might be best to find one from the 21st century

Totally agree, huge interception try from Lynagh 11 point difference going back to the Stoop now

Edit: last minute penalty makes it 14. Going to be a huge battle at The Stoop.
I have a feeling Quins v Tigers is going to be a case of who is less fatigued
