ajwffc Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Got tickets for the final would like one of the two Scottish sides in the final. If they don't it should still be a good match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I think if Glasgow can make it in to 2nd place in the table we'll be looking at a Glasgow v Leinster final. With the recent form I'd fancy wins away at scarlets and Connacht and beating one of those sides again in the play off game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Leicester see off Stade Francais fairly comfortably. Racing v Toulon now - 39 internationals in the 2 squads, including Mr Carter and Mr Giteau going head to head. Yes please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Joubert has came out and said why he ran from the pitch at the RWC "I had it in my mind somewhere that there had been an incident between the official and the England coaches [Andy Farrell and Graham Rowntree, for which they were later fined] in their match against Australia and I just didn't want any of that to happen, not because I don't understand the emotions of the moment for players and coaches, their desire for answers to questions, but just because I did not want that to become another possible incident. That was my thinking, not for myself but for the situation." http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11623241 edit to add he is also one of the refs selected for Rio http://officiating.worldrugby.org/?page=panels&id=27 Edited April 15, 2016 by ajwffc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he had to sprint off quite as melodramatically as that, but keeping his head low was sensible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 BBC reports that upto 20 Scarlets players are struggling with a stomach bug. That would be an advantage to Glasgow but I don't know how much is fabricated by the Scarlets with respect to mind games... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Why are no bookies offering odds on this except betfair? Was hoping to fill my boots like I did when tottenham got food poisoning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 That actually seems fairly reasonable to me. Not sure he had to sprint off quite as melodramatically as that, but keeping his head low was sensible. I disagree. Running off because of a incident that involved coaches of a team that weren't even playing in the game in question? If that's a real issue, why don't all refs sprint from the field at the end of tight games? It's a bullshit excuse. On the positive side, excellent to see Mike Adamson and Alex Pratt are going to Rio as refs. Adamson especially is a great ref, and hopefully he will get more exposure at 15s next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Gregor Townsend has said that he will honour his contract till the end of next season. Rumours linking him to Harlequins are a "non-story" as he puts it. Phew... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Watching Edinburgh, 30-20 down with a few minutes left and Leinster should have a player binned, or possibly even red carded. Penalty and no card. Yet another Irish hometown decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 That was a shocking decision by the ref/TMO. The fact that he didn't use his arms in the tackle was bad enough and probably warranted a yellow, but when you factor in how high he hit him then it must have been damn close to a red. How he wasn't carded at all is beyond me. Good bonus point for Edinburgh in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good bonus point for Edinburgh in the end. after watching a number of replays the ref and the TMO decided that he tried to use his arms and it was not that high. so not sure what they were looking at 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcfadden was red Imo. Ref shat it. Glasgow should win this pro 12. Best team imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
