39 - 7
Good stuff, presume they got the bonus point
Cardiff just couldnt keep Leinster at bay Puke, BP was easily gotten early in second half.
Presume you mean the scarlets, how did cardff fair against Touloseā¦
Of course my mistake.
23 7 to Toulouse
No, they donāt. Horrible shower to listen to. Hate their āmatesyā attitude.
Skyās rugby coverage is extremely poor imo. Commentators are generally more interested in wise cracks than analyis. Setanta are superb at rugby in fairness.
Cant agree there Lar, they give a great coverage of the H Cup, just that their commentators and analysts are cocks. But it is rugby, and that sort of shite permeates it.
Great stuff there from Youngsā¦super break
True to an extent in that they show a load of games and have fairly decent range of cameras. Their analysis in studio and in that stupid truck is really poor though in my view. Far too matesy as rock said. All in all their poor commentators just make for terrible viewing. Glad games are on tv obviously but if they were on Setanta it would be much better imo
Greenwood - Comes out with some very odd comments. Said Wallace would be a danger man for Ulster last week!
Harrison - Squeaky voice and shouts inappropriately
Paul Wallace, Ieaun Evans - Say nothing
Morris - Stop nodding at camera and making a silly joke every minute
Barnes - Please down patronise viewer by pretending a game is gripping when it isnāt
Mark Robson is one of the worst commentators i have ever come across
Great runner, shite passer.
shocking penalty to give away there after getting the try from leicester
Snowing heavily in Paris at moment so match looks in big danger again.
Whats the story with it, is the onus on Stade to get the game played, do they lose the points if they cant get it played within a certain timeframe? I remember a few years ago a game being played in Italy on the Monday or something. If Ulster could get the points here, even by default will be their best away result in a long long time!! I am talking through my pocket though on em at all prices down to 100 to win the HEC with a view to a lay.
In club rugby in Ireland if you cant fulfil a home fixture twice due to any reason e.g. weather, you lose home advantage. That is probably fairer. But I guess they need the game played to keep to the schedule.
Leinster looking ominously good last night again. Backed em -27.5 on betfair 7/2 and had a fair few shaky moments but they covered it eventually. Beirne wont do for his goalkicking, was OK in open play again last night but left 10+ points behind him last night.

Onus is on Stade yeah. Meant to be played this weekend and if not tomorrow. There is a precedent from a few years back when Newcastle couldnāt get their game against Leinster on and game eventually took place on Tuesday. http://www.irishrugby.ie/6855_1153.php
Stade have until Tuesday to get the game played and if not they have to forfeit match and points awarded to Ulster (not sure if it is five or four). At moment Stade fans are clearing the pitch with inspection in next ten minutes. Maybe Iām being hopelessly optimistic but I fancy us today if it goes ahead.
Game is on!
Excellent, throw up a link will you if you see one. I dont have the fucking red button.
Think Ulster have a chance but no doubt Stade will be well up for it after the citings and Dupys ban etc. Think you have a more better pack out Faloon and Botha are strengthening it considerably I think. Still wouldnt have any great confidence though I must say. A losing bonus would be a great result.

Think we need to win it to be honest. Faloon was unlucky to miss out last week imo and Botha should strengthen scrum if nothing else. Game is not on tv!
Puke, how are the groups shaping up in terms of best second place sides? Will Munster, Ulster and Leinster be in the shake up to progress if they donāt win their groups or is it too early to say with certainty?
