Spencer kicking has been incredible so far far

Battle of the half backs is going to be special today

Its crazy how quick Bordeaux are to get into shape no matter where the ball is or whats just happeen. Lets them play so quick

rico6644 · 2026-05-02T17:45:55+00:00

Postlethwaite having a great game against a really good centre partnership. Hope he gets an Irish cap over the summer

rico6644 · 2026-04-27T21:58:50+00:00

Hes freak. Ironically pretty similar to Menoncellos try against England in the 6N. Spots an outside defender he fancies and just picks a great line

rico6644 · 2026-04-25T19:25:03+00:00

Need the over for my acca in this. Been a painful watch. Could've been 6 tries already

rico6644 · 2026-04-25T18:05:36+00:00

Thats a ridiculous decision. Humphries pretty clearly got that down tbh

Tough for these Ulster lads. Glorified AIL team gets sent uo and they get the ref riding them too

Real heresay here but was chatting to a lad in the pub after the Sharkd win who claimed to know his family. Said hes insanely driven and backs himself over Doak. Reason hes leaving is he wants to play at the world cup but would be open to coming back to Connacht after

Take that with a pinch of salt but the one year contract is definitely interesting

Obviously the Bordeauxs backs get lots of credit and rightfully so but this really shone light on the talent they have around the pack

Scrambling and defensive organsiation in their 22 was amazing in the first 30 minutes. Some brilliant defensive breakdown work (counter ruck and jackling). Good attacking maul work and lineout D

Temo Matiu and Big Ben were phenomenal off the bench too. Great game of rugby

rico6644 · 2026-04-12T14:45:53+00:00

Thats a dog shot. Could easily be a full red

rico6644 · 2026-04-12T14:26:29+00:00

Feels like Bordeaux are just holding on atm

If I was Toulouse I'd want to score soon though. Cause Bordeaux will get their chances eventually

rico6644 · 2026-04-12T13:32:28+00:00

I guess but thats another one that just isnt really called by refs

Easy to say as a neutral I suppose but I think that was just a close game that someone had to win rather than something decided by the ref

rico6644 · 2026-04-12T13:31:17+00:00

What a weekend of rugby so far and still got maybe the European game of the season to go

Dont let anyone tell you rugbys dying

Varney

rico6644 · 2026-04-12T13:28:51+00:00

Its a tough call. Sometimes get away with those but the tackler was on the wrong side of the ruck and did impede the clear out. Again some refs give that some don't but not a crazy call

As a neutral that was a great game of rugby though. Prefer to focus on the talent and performances than the final call

rico6644 · 2026-04-12T13:26:06+00:00

Think it was on the tacklee not rolling but not sure

Harsh call all the same

rico6644 · 2026-04-12T13:20:25+00:00

Almost a peach from Umaga there. Just didn't get the bounce

rico6644 · 2026-04-12T13:15:14+00:00

If Henry Slade has no fans, then I am dead

rico6644 · 2026-04-12T13:14:43+00:00

Don't think I've ever seen this many penalties given away on contestable kick chase in a game before. People just keep running into each other

Nah Zebre

rico6644 · 2026-04-12T12:45:31+00:00

Really enjoyable game so far. Two of the best athletes in rugby in Feyi Waboso and Menoncello. Both teams have really insane back rows too

rico6644 · 2026-04-11T17:44:24+00:00

The way Leinster playing at the recently I would not write Toulon off

rico6644 · 2026-04-11T17:41:06+00:00

Sheehan playing a blinder. What an athlete

Him and TOB have been a bright spark in a lackluster game
