Champions Cup 2024 / 25 - Round of 16

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Does Toulon know you are supposed to sign players when they are still good?

No or no

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ah, that shouldn't have been a Toulon score - that knock on at the ruck happened because the Toulon player moved it/played it on the floor to stop Tompkins turning it over, should've been a penalty to Saracens not a knockon against them

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Saw before the game that Saracens were only 14/1 to win so chucked a fiver on. Think this could be a good day.

Screaming, crying, throwing up.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sarries bench gonna be an issue, Toulon growing into the game and Sarries fading but it's a very green set of subs

Screaming, crying, throwing up.

Sometimes you jynx yourself smh

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wonder if Sarries regret focusing solely on the prem - Toulon utterly rampant in this last 20, if Saracens had a good bench would they have been?
Despite the scoreline I feel like they could've taken that with a more consistent performance

Prendergast out to prove a point today.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Some really nice short passes/running lines from Leinster

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Only just realised CCS is playing lock

Quins kinda look like they've given up, mentally

There was that line going around during the 6N from a Paul O'Connell pregame speech about being the best at things that require no talent - Quins are definitely not doing that, too many half hearted track backs, watching the ball on the ground expecting someone else to go for it etc

 

[dirty harry]

Wtf happened in Toulon?!

I saw the Saracens BPT in the first half and decided to cut the grass instead of the 2nd half...

What a mistake that looks now

 

[McTallshort]

Take Sarries took a B team?

 

[Gavin]

Take Sarries took a B team?

B/C team I think

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah starters were mostly B team, bench were below that - bench tighthead was from Ampthill

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Just abject from Quins.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Rough from Quins, barely put up a fight after the first quarter

 

[Gavin]

That yellow against Benetton seemed a bit harsh.

 

[Saintjay]

That result has got to impact Smiths Lions stock. Ouch.
