Re: Champions Cup 2020
Northampton looking quite comfortable against Lyon. Is it just me or do Lyon look a little bit too heavy? They’re chugging around the field like they’re hungover at times

Lyon lineout malfunctioning. And they do look sluggish.

They look positively disinterested.

What about Northampton lads? Sounds like they may trickier then some thought

Re: Champions Cup 2020
The only way this could be more typically French is if they put 40 points on us next week. I'd be willing to bet a lot of money that every pass will stick for them against us

Re: Champions Cup 2020
Hard to tell really from this game. Lyon have thrown 3 or 4 intercepts in try scoring positions. Nuts.

Re: Champions Cup 2020
With the way Lyon are playing and the lead they have I can't understand why Northampton are taking kicks instead of going for the TBP. It would be a failure to come away from this with only four points.

lyon looked poor, made saints look better than they are.
no BP for both could be good for us.

Re: Champions Cup 2020
Love the English commentators invention of a foot in touch which wasn't there and no amount of replays will conjure into existence. It reminds me of the Errol Morris book "believing is seeing".
'kinell, 10 minutes later and they are still fantasising that Thomas was in touch. Money in particular has gone full truther on it.
On the other hand they didn't make a deal about what looks like obstruction for the first racing try.

Re: Champions Cup 2020
racing look disappointed at the end. should a hit 50 against Saracens.
BP useful. munster & racing to come out of that pool.
guessing that the absence of Farrell & Co (are they still in therapy?) means that mccall is not expecting the appeal to go well and focussing on premiership survival and maybe european competition in 2021.

I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role.
I've got nothing against your right leg.
The trouble is ... neither have you

Didn't know that, thanks. how do they continue with the current full squad if they are still falling foul of the salary cap? anyone know?The Doc wrote:I believe they announced that they wouldn't appeal.MylesNaGapoleen wrote: ... means that mccall is not expecting the appeal to go well and focussing on premiership survival and maybe european competition in 2021.
Happy days for munster I suppose.
Re: Champions Cup 2020
Not only did all the provinces win this weekend, but if you ignore Scotland, as you should, teams from all the other participating countries were defeated in the process.

Re: Champions Cup 2020
It’s not the end of the world for Saracens though. They will still expect to have 15-20 points coming into the final game vs racing and 20pts isn’t an insurmountable difference for them at home to a French team. That bp for Munster was really important.MylesNaGapoleen wrote:racing look disappointed at the end. should a hit 50 against Saracens.

Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

Re: Champions Cup 2020
Despite the scoreline I didn't think sarries were that bad. They are a well run club (coaching wise) . Racing were just very good, and Vacatawa was awesome.
