2 match points for Bordeaux mean they top their pool.

Saints fantastic performance in Munster. Winning despite an "Iffy" red. IMHO of course.

Execution and a snap in attack. Rapier compared with Tiger's bludgeon.

Not sure when you've kneed a guy twice in the head one with each leg it's that iffy. Maybe if just the one knee but that was a combo move...

So you're counter rucking and a a guy falls over the top and collides with a knee. You take the second step to drive on and his head's still there.

I don't see that as deliberate.

Still, whether we agree or not on the red, it was still a cracking performance from saints.

Saints impress again and take 3 points when needed! Made a huge difference.
Leinster v Saints would be very interesting.

Quick glance at the pools, and I think we're looking at Leinster away...

Correct if La Rochelle & Toulouse both win then a trip to Dublin it is...

(Technically a Bath BP win over Toulouse would do it too)...
