I too, am disappointed for Gloucester as that would have been a hell of an exploit beating the title holders. La Rochelle remain however, one side who could beat Leinster.

Red for Mercer for a pretty passive tackle 🤷‍♂️

Absolutely! The Exeter player dips his head into Mercer's shoulder, unbelievable, the lottery that is Brace! :smt017

Oh well - probably good that Exeter get through given we play them in 2 weeks

Brace is wild that was a no arms tackle that was arguably late too and he says nothing in it

The point was made early in the commentary that with Montpellier concentrating on the top 14 they maybe wouldn’t mind missing the trip to South Africa next weekend.

Agreed about the Mercer red , yellow only

And far too little in that case, looked pretty likely that ball only went forwards after it touched Hodge but she says nothing...

This is kind of an ideal for us, Exeter will have played 2 sets of extra time in as many weeks and then a trip to SA before their visit to us

That said Exeter's discipline is awful so they might not even win this
