[Vieux Talonneur]

Not really a Baa Baas squad to set the pulses racing. Doubt they'll need to open the top tier at HQ.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Curwin Bosch at flyhalf ? Weird.
Plenty other flyhalves to choose from.

I would've liked to see Romain Ntamack instead.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Nobody watching ? Sheesh...

 

[TheOvalBall]

Fiji playing in Black. I can't remember seeing them playing in black before.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Take the points.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Nobody watching ? Sheesh...

Clashes with Champions cup rugby,
Waining interest in the barbarians in general and then scheduling it during the opening round of the biggest comp in NH rugby? Idiotic from the blazers.

I'm surprised the crowd hit triple figures tbh

 

[TheOvalBall]

Halftime: 14-12 Fiji

 

[TheOvalBall]

Nice that Fiji scored early. Makes things interesting.

 

[TheOvalBall]

That is very late to now only call knock on.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Why put this on this weekend? Rather than push it 2 weeks?
And if you have it at this weekend why put it on in the afternoon rather than at night?

 

[TheOvalBall]

Beast has some legs

 

[TheOvalBall]

Two bald heads next to each other. That's funny

(Mitchell and Best)

 

[TheOvalBall]

Wow, what a game.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Full-time: Fiji win 33-31

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

They actually get 50,000 to this? Must have been a lot of boozy corporate jobs going on, wouldn't have paid the tram fare in if it was in Dublin.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Curwin Bosch at flyhalf ? Weird.
Plenty other flyhalves to choose from.

I would've liked to see Romain Ntamack instead.

He's got a vastly more important game for Toulouse though.
