Sale - little return on investment thus far , meantime Exeter do seem to be evolving.Mark62 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 6:00 pmReally, 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 timeCitizenSmiff wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 3:49 pmReally good game this. We are, to say the least, in trouble vs Chiefs.
Seemingly heading rapidly toward senility .....Not long or far to go now , in fact, getting worse daily.....
Re: This Weekend in Europe
Wayne has been speaking French in matches now for 2 or 3 years, its good to hear! It annoys me when the likes of Nigel speaks in his Welsh accent, I can't understand him so how do others especially French, Italians etc? Are all players expected to understand English? Yes I know all teams generally have some English speakers, but get a Georgian front row and they are lectured in dialect English, how the devil can they be expected to get it right? Good job no Geordie or Scouse referees, or perhaps there is?

Re: This Weekend in Europe
Ben Smith and Luke Whitelock have both been picked in the starting XV for Pau in tomorrow’s match v Cardiff.
Semper in excretia
Re: This Weekend in Europe
Ulster thump an under strength Quins at the Stoop. They look very impressive and I can see them and Clement both coming out of this group.
John Cooney superb again. If for some unfathomable reason he doesn’t get in the Irish side someone needs to be waving a big contract under his nose

Re: This Weekend in Europe
Yes Cooney is a great player and is in excellent from but I wish Ekyn and co get their heads out of his :censored: and actually concentrate on commentating on the game in hand, such as one of the Ulster tries that was a clear obstruction.
Harlequins undoing was discipline but everything was against them last night, Kunatani will get cited for neck grabbing and a shoulder charge on Stockdale at the ruck and I was for sure that Chisholm would score but that was some phenomenal cover defence.m

Wasn’t obstruction though he barely touched the defending players, and didn’t stop any tackles being made.JP14 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 14, 2019 8:41 am Yes Cooney is a great player and is in excellent from but I wish Ekyn and co get their heads out of his and actually concentrate on commentating on the game in hand, such as one of the Ulster tries that was a clear obstruction.

Kunatani also made contact around the eyes, wasn’t gouging but his hand was in the face, so I would expect 4 weeks minimum for him.
Tackler on Chisholm break was Cooney
Re: This Weekend in Europe
Yes I saw the hand but I felt like it was just around the mouth so it was just an agitation.

Re: This Weekend in Europe
In my view Saili was prevented from making the tackle.

Pau currently beating Cardiff 19-7
Re: This Weekend in Europe
Yes and I agree but it wasn’t an eye gouge, Kunatani had lost his head which is a shame because he had a great game up to that point.

Re: This Weekend in Europe
FT Pau 34 Cardiff 29 so a decent result for us. If we win today it’ll be:
1) Leicester 18 (19 with a BP win)
2) Cardiff 13
3) Pau 10
