Pretty poor that neither Sky nor BT can muster up coverage for either the Exeter or Gloucester games.

right there's absolutely no fkng point to it, at least for French clubs. Other nations' clubs seem to be taking it a lot more seriously though. Haha have fun gastiongo, and easy on the Guinness, we don't want you turning into a Leinster fan ! You'll have to undergo an all-wine cure when you get back, preferably for many days continuously, we can't be too safe...

Horrible weather in Bucharest but that won't stop me from watching Morne Steyn and Digby Ioane from the stands

if i was to follow you on the turncoat thingy (which obviously i could not do) it would never be Leinster always Munster, they always remind me of some of France's great packs, with the likes Cholley who i stilll see, Bastiat, JP Rives, Imbernon, Palmie, les Herrero's freres, Garuet, Paco, etc etc. thunderous upfront battles where blood played a participation and nothing else, if you came off with no stud marks you hadn't played!!!!!!

We will look after you too my friend. Plenty of Guinness and quality meat. And it's the lads that have them stud marks are the lads that did their apprentice and learned the dark arts of game.

having a favorite from another league doesn't count as turncoat. Take it from a specialist...and yes I agree with you, my Pro12 penchant definitely goes out to the Munsterians. They don't do it pretty, but boy they sure do it. They don't have the bigger names, but they play with everything they've got and they know how to win games.

Final results for the weekend

Well as no-one else has mentioned it i will.

A great win for Newcastle away to a strong Dragons side.
We have a crop of diamonds coming through the academy...and we put many of them out for this game and they were outstanding. In fact many of the senior team should genuinely be looking over their shoulders now....

Among the many to shine was England Under-20s lock Will Witty, who scored for the second week in succession.

"Two tries in two games is incredible for any second-rower, but for a young lad like that it was incredible," said the Falcons boss.
"He is one of these boys where you naturally worry throwing people into certain situations, but with him he just goes in and delivers.
"I can remember a young Chris Robshaw at Harlequins being very similar in that sense, and he just kept on delivering the more we put him in. He is now the England captain, which says a lot.
"Will is exactly the same, and every challenge we put in front of him is being answered.".

Saints next...
