Champions Cup - Pool 5, Round 1 (Treviso, Northampton, Ospreys, Racing Metro)

just watched it. The ref got the Racing yellow wrong, no question. Racing had the upperhand in most scrums up til that point, and Brugnaut on the last two scrums before his yellow STUFFS the opposing TH. He then scrums at an angle just the one time, gets sent off. Decisions were inconsistent and just rare at the scrum during the entire game, I think the ref really has major issues with scrums or just simply lost count of who was infringing and confused players ?

Anyways, superb defense from Racing, they really shut down the Saints back line. Where was North the entire 80 ?? Not much production from Racing, but they settled for containing the opposition and got lucky on a couple of occasions and came up with the solid win.
 
Saints v Ospreys tonight, predictions? I think it's extremely tough to look at anything but a solid win for Northampton, especially as the Ospreys lost Bishop earlier, making the challenge even more insurmountable.
