That's fucking horseshit, the guy has slipped into the tackle, he's hit the ball, and slipped up on a guy who is falling.

It's a penalty, but a yellow card is fucking nonsense. Their centre also got straight back up, and started screaming at McKay that he wanted a chat in the car park.

Glasgow looked really good for the first 30 minutes, we were winning turnovers nearly every breakdown, then all of a sudden something switched and were on the backfoot the rest of the game. I dont know if it was fitness, weather, just being in SA, but the drop of was alarming. Fair play the stormers played some cracking rugby (why SA dont is beyond me) but something is lacking, it was very similar to the Cardiff game a few weeks ago

The 2nd half drop off that has plagued Glasgow this season arrived 10 minutes early last night.

It has to be a coaching issue.

Yeah, it happens every week. I keep saying it, but I don't think the team are well coached, and possibly not fit enough either. The subs never improve Glasgow either.

Changes in the European qualifiers for the 2023 RWC. Spain played an ineligible player in 2 of their games. They have been deducted 10 points drooping them to 4th in the table and losing there place at the RWC for the 2nd time. Romania become Europe 2 and get a place in Pool B. Portugal now get the Europe 3 spot in the  Final Qualification Tournament.

Good game between Northampton and Harlequins at the moment, Huw Jones and Rory Hutchison both playing very well. Jones scored off a ridiculous piece of skill by Joe Marchant

Saints lost both their tightheads to injury early on, so it's 15v15 with uncontested scrums, and it's fast as f**k.  The poor replacement tighthead knocked himself out by running squarely onto Courtney Lawes elbow as he tried to bind on and drive him forward

Hadnt realised Josh Straus had been playing for the Tel Aviv Heat in the European Super Rufby cup, knocked out in the semi's a few weeks back

Having looked through the teams its a mixture of locals and a few known jobbers (ie Nic Groom)

What a finish to the London Irish-Wasps game.

Wasps lead 39-14 at one point, then 42-35 as the game entered injury time. Irish got a penalty in the Wasps half, which their outside centre inexplicably took quickly, and got levelled and driven backwards.

 

 

 

Except the tackler wasn't 10, so they got another penalty, which they kicked into the corner. Drove the lineout, and hurtled over the line in the corner. Neither the ref nor AR had a grounding, so they went to the TMO. TMO shows that Launchbury had hauled the maul down, so instead of having a tricky conversion from the touchline to level it, Irish got a penalty try, no kick needed, and got the draw!

10 players out and 2 in for next season so far,

Suprised by Lambert and Stewart leaving, sounds like Lambert already has something else lined up, wonder if Edinburgh would be an option for Stewart?
