European Champions Cup 2017/18: Pool 5 - Round 2

[Which Tyler]

Happy with that first half; let's just tighten up the handling in the second.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Is Cook like the most carded 9 currently?

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Cook is so ******* braindead

Also I get the French crowd like booing a lot but booing an injured player is just so classless.

I'd be rather surprised if he isn't TBH


ETA: Apparently, it's his 6th yellow ever - so maybe not

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

the biggest difference between Bath and Toulon is that Toulon have a experienced 15 playing.

 

[Which Tyler]

Never good when the player's scream comes across on the ref's mic

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

The crunch before Fonua's injury was disgusting!

The Toulon crowd are not exactly known for their fair-play, so if Bath can pull this one off, I'll be chuffed to bits, and even more so if they complete the double next week!!
ALLEZ Bath!!

Welcome back Henry Thomas!

 

[Which Tyler]

Joseph would be so much better if he just learned to pass, and broke his try scoring drought


That's hillarious
A rival for Carling getting dumped back over the try line instead of scroing?

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

HAHA Couldn't have happened to a nicer person

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

******* hell, could our 9 have telegraphed that pass any more!?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Question: If the ball was short should Grant get pinged for not rolling away?

Question: If the ball was short should Grant get pinged for not rolling away?

Not if he is on/over the line (to my understanding)

 

[ratsapprentice]

What was the injury people were talking about?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Not if he is on/over the line (to my understanding)

If Grant is over the line or the ball?

Question: If the ball was short should Grant get pinged for not rolling away?

Nope because he is on the try line and also Ashton is attempting a double movement. If Grant is in a position to be penalised then Ashton must be for double movement first.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

That was a ballsy move by the toulon 10.

 

[Which Tyler]

What was the injury people were talking about?

Fonua's knee

If Grant is over the line or the ball?

The man himself (or his relevant body part)

Ashton attempted a double movement but IMO he couldn't becuase of Grant not rolling away.

But i get the rule now.
