Weekend match thread

[Scott1]

For anyone to comment on all things SR or European games. Just watching some SR, absolutely filthy try by the Sunwolves,the skill levels in this league blow me away at times!

[Scott1]

The Sunwolves finally arrive and now we are gonna lose them,damn shame!

[RagingBull]

Scott Hansen has done well with them.

I didn't know either, but they sound red hot.

[Mark62]

Shame they’re being scrapped

[Scott1]

Tahs Rebels is a bit meh!

Saracens made Munster look pretty ordinary without hitting top gear.

Their workmate for the full 80 mins is miles ahead of Tigers, if Tigers want to compete next year there will have to be a huge transformation.

Nigel's been doing his best to wind up the French crowd....

I watched the semi-final today and there were some shocking decisions which had an impact.
Penalising Toulouse in the first half with the number 12 Ahki over the ball was a bad one, eventually Leinster scored from the line out to stretch it to 17-3.
Then later in the first half the most cinical deliberate knock on as you are ever likely to see from Leinster, with Toulouse virtually certain to score it was easily a penalty try, I can't see the point in having the rule if it isn't going to be consistently applied.
Half time should've been at least 10-10 with the Ahki decision the other way still to play out.
That wasn't a neutral venue and I eventually turned off as the Leinster love in on commentary became too sickly.

Yes I’ve said before I very much dislike the BT Sport commentary.

I’m obviously disappointed but clearly the better side won. Would a try have been scored if there hadn’t been a deliberate knock-on? Unlikely in my opinion. The good news is that Toulouse are on the up once more and with luck will be Top14 champions this season.

I think that you are too kind.
I fancy Toulouse would've scored had that knock on not been committed.
I'm not keen on the deliberate knock on rule but that one was about as blatant as you'll ever see and I suspect that on another day and with another ref that could've been a penalty try.
We see them given and not, too many home fans for the former on this occasion.

Agreed should have been a penalty try. It's a short pass and if you remove the illegal interference there's no one else to disrupt the catch and dive over the line. Not that you were going to stop that unit a metre out.

Leinster are a great side. Like Sarries, they know how to win.
