I'm not entirely sure what the reason is, but Fin Smith looks really average in this attacking shape, when he generally looks excellent in the flatter/wide-passing Saints strategy. It can't just be pace as it worked (generally) with late era Sexton, but when he's picking the ball up off the tip ons ...

Curry is a very good rugby player, but he has tits for hands far too often.

Absolutely bizarre from Bin. Allowing sealing off and calling 'don't touch' at every ruck where they haven't sealed it off. Allowing rucking from WA 5 fvcking metres past the ruck. He's consistently a shit ref who misses loads of stuff, I really don't understand how he's considered one of the elite.

The world has indeed changed since I was out and about with Lions fans in 2005. Huge numbers of kilt wearing young’uns freshly out of (private) schools probably funded by daddy’s credit card. Now not even those guys can afford to go on tour! TBF, the 'younger' people probably won't turn up until th...

Tuipolotou has quietly been absolutely bang average.

Bloody hell Bin, missing the hands in the ruck.

Daly very good again.

grimoald

Great hands by Daly

Van Der Flier did incredibly there.

The Force rucking beyond the ball would make Farrell proud (would be nice if it was reffed mind).

Loving the running lines that are starting to emerge, simple and effective, will only get better and more intricate from here but Faz obviously has a vision that the players have bought into. And you'd think part of the reason the players look a bit knackered here (and last week) is that they're do...

And he's f**ked up reading the flight again.

Does he regularly receive restarts for Scotland and Glasgow?

grimoald

Excellent interplay.

Not getting lifted high enough by his team mates

I'm not having that, he read the flight completely wrong.

The hands on the ball over the ruck ball rule needs to be sorted. What Beirne got done for there. Pollock was allowed slow down Leinster ball with impunity. In ERC semi. Some refs allow it. Others penalise as soon as the hands touch the ball over the ruck. Ben white is in between. I'm very happy th...

You didn't actually "call ruck", but still dumb by Beirne. He clearly, clearly called "don't come over the top". It was only slightly dumber than the penalty that bloke gave a minute earlier. He didn't actually "call ruck" - Beirne was looking right at him seeking instruction. Dumb by Beirne, but t...

Weird we've not seen a proper replay, but looked like a very quick drop in height.

Wtf was Cummings up to on that restart?

grimoald

Youngs has been absolutely horrendous since he's been on and that kick another example.

Must have had the worst game of his life. His only top quality skill is his aerial ability and he's lost everything.

Aidan Morgan leaving Ulster by mutual consent, also confirm no more signings at 10.# “Going into the 2025/26 season, we will have three fully contracted fly-halves, between 21 and 26 years of age, all of which we need to continue to develop and get the very best out of in the seasons ahead.” For re...

Proper fucker for Doris that.

Ryan, Cummings and Hansen the biggest surprises probably - and LCD over George who would have made a lot of sense as dirt tracker captain.

grimoald

No Prendergast

Listened to it on the radio. RTE guys freaking about the ref. Total bias? Congrats NH guys, if there's any still here.Always nice to see a less frequent team get to the end. Listening on radio it sounded like a belter. Cullen has to be looking at his sword at this point. Typical French reffing perf...

grimoald

Is he left or right footed? That is sensational.

grimoald

Saints are an inferior team but they've been prepared brilliantly. Coaching masterclass. Who is the Saints coach? Sam Vesty does the attack, he's excellent. They've clearly set about James Lowe and cutting back against the blitz. That's true, their attacking shape and ambition is fantastic, and alw...

grimoald

The "over hyped" Pollock currently leading his side with 11 tackles that half. One brilliant try and an assist to put that one around the corner for a walk in untouched try. 2nd in carries behind Ramm. He really is very good, but I still think (when England are crying out for a 12), it is a bit mad...

Breakdown all over.

It's messy but the 6 was never back on his feet and releasing

Really don't think those kinds of offloads should be allowed

grimoald

Gap all coz of Healy (great line tho)

grimoald

That’s mental he played Murray at the ruck He's saying the ruck was over, but the ball was still in there and Murray was about to pick it up. I actually don't mind that as a decision, as I think if the team is successfully countering they should be able to to clear through onto the 9, but that norm...

grimoald

I did get my hopes up for nothing, and the ref has given us loads the last few minutes, but they took the 9 out at the last ruck didn't they?

Crap pass from Crowley to Farrell though.

grimoald

All Farrell needed to do was pop the ball to Abrahams and that was a try.

grimoald

I think that's a mad call - Moefana is covering. Bordeaux actually collapsed that - the other angle the French director quickly cut away from would have shown it. TMO called it and the yellow number - French tv have no control of TMO angels I know he called it immediately, but the backwards running ...

Again, lack of movement and all meant it was easy of them to read, but that was a shocking throw.

grimoald

Stupid by Jack, far too many of those type of things today. You half the absurd mistakes and you're in with a chance of winning this. Very frustrating. Probably but Bordeaux are much, much better than us. Their speed, and their skills at speed, are fantastic to see. Much better yeah - though they're...

Is a try, and Whycherly does collapse.
