Bad miss from La Rochelle. Pace very high. Ben Kay already noticed some of the forwards are walking - it's very warm.

Agree Koch is probably in the worlds best 3 tightheads.
Agree, however you could say very similar about us and Genge.
You can, but I genuinely think that we've replaced our leavers better. Ok Cronin is not Genge, but in him and Whitcombe we have two very good scrummaging props (their primary job) plus between Van Staden coming back to fitness and how others are developing (eg Chessum and Martin) I genuinely think we'll have other good ball carrying options. Whereas I'm not sure about Sarries having replaced the talent they're losing
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Carley missing the longest holding on turnover penalty ever 😂

I think more than that is the footwork of the whole back line. It just creates carnage in defence and allows Sexton to wrap around and all of a sudden they have more bodies on whatever side they’re attacking. Hard to think of how you stop it. The only thing would be if you have a rainy day and it’s a set piece game, which clearly is a worry against the big French teams, but that’s a long shot. Assuming Ireland play a similar game, they must be strong candidates for the latter stages of the RWC.
Wow, I didn't get to see whole match but shame to those slagging off ref again and switching off, they missed a great demonstration of "rugby", yes that game they invented when they picked up the ball and ran with it, oh how i wish Tigers would do that, what % did they quote for Sextons passing was it 87% as a neutral I loved what I saw and doubt anyone will beat Leinster this year.
Yup. I turned it off......but I've not got the interest when my team isn't playing and the result looks inevitable.

The Butty Bach was good at the cricket club. Nipper got a 50 and caught couple...plus stumped another. Its summer! Nearly. 😁😁

I'll be taking the juniors tomorrow. Might get back to watch the othe semi.

We've at least got second in the league and I hope we get top spot. After that? I'm more bothered about how Stokes will fair as Captain of the test side. It seems a long season!

Carley seems pretty adamant not to give a card.

Try,but it’s still a yellow. Will he give it? Refs never usually do. Why should a conceded try be punishment enough?

Just because they scored is an awful excuse not to give a card especially as he just said the next scrum pen would be a card.

It’s one of the worse parts of the game,don’t think I’ve ever seen a ref give a yellow as well. Maybe the once actually I’ve seen it.
