Strauss out for the rest of the tournament as well. Ruptured Kidney apparently. Also hearing Wilson might be fit though

Bugger. That's a huge loss. Imagine it will be a while before he plays again.....wonder if he's played his last for warriors. Be a real shame if he couldn't get a farewell match.

He is letting Leinster away with a lot when Edinburgh were in the Leinster 22

Also allowed some blatant embra blocking (literally grabbing the tackler) and Weir was lucky to avoid a yellow for tackling player in the air. I'm hyper critical of way scottish sides get ripped off by refs (not least recent France game) but Davies has been merely inept rather than the usual biased so far. Been impressed with shc Bryce n front row so far eta toolis carrying well too

 2nd eta ohhhh brown noooo

Leinster try off a blatant high tackle on Hoyland ffs eta just takes piss how scottish players like hogg get binned for high tackles n armless hits but when scottish players that are the recipients it's fine....Eta Davies warns an embra player on same play for a late hit when he was fairly committed.....beggars belief sometimes

Absolutely....sru has always been too servile about refs and it's always been fed down.

They have put complainants about refs in the past and all that happened was that ref got more Scotland(or games that Scottish sides played in) matches

Yep nowhere near belligerent enough tho. We need to start being far more combative at an administration level about way our teams are treated. As a pure experiment can anyone remember the last time a Scottish team was the beneficiary of a ref having an 80 min mare???

Glasgow looking very poor against ulster.

Anyone know why Favaro is leaving in the summer?

Not sure perhaps too many injuries and he's playing for Italy again. Think they are trying to strengthen the back up options for 6n n autumn games. Certainly been costly this season for Pro12. Losing today would virtually kill play off chances.

This is embarrassing. Plays offs gone. Let's win the champions cup and move on

Yep the back up players arent strong enough to cover losing the internationals. It's great having so many home grown players in squad but 4 or 5 top foreign guys are needed to keep the young guys on track for the 6n n autumn games. Eta need to make sure they don't drop out if top 6! Would be terrible to not make champions cup next season

Yeah, the B team is so far below the standard required, it's painful to watch. They are clearly trying to take steps to remedy this for next season because this year has been awful, and as you say, there is a real chance these losses will cost us a place in the Champions Cup next season. 6th needs to be the minimum now, playoffs are gone.

It's very disappointing to be honest. People can complain about missing players, but it's the same for everyone. Pienaar was brilliant for Ulster today.
