EPCR Challenge Cup 21/22

[GlosJoe]

Terrible performance tonight (not taking away anything from Sarries who were good) but in the long term it's a good defeat to learn from.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Another one for the LRZ highlight reel. He can make the game look ridiculously easy at times, few better sights on a rugby pitch than him in full flight.

Love them or loathe them, Saracens really do have a good culture in their squad. England could do a lot worse than go after McCall to replace Jones - the way he handled Skelton sticks in the mind as a brilliant piece of man management to get the best out of an underperforming international player.

Surprised at Wasps' scrum dominance

Not really it's like Edinburgh's 3rd choice front row nearly.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Why is that not a PT?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

lol ref lost the plot

 

[odw26]

Why is that not a PT?

Should have been but it makes up for the try scored from an obvious knock on in the first half so as an Edinburgh fan I'll take it

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

WTF

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ref has completely lost the plot here

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Is it me or has Alfie completely gone off the boil?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Gopperth such a clutch kicker so underrated as part of his game

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Umaga not the kind of player you want on when you're trying to close out a game

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Worse reffing display potentially

He's grown on me a lot since leaving. Was a terrible Ster player but I suspect that was MOC and not him.

Oh it would 100% be on MOC.
His play before and after showed it.

Would've been lethal for Leinster under Schmidt IMO at 12.

How the **** do you spend no time reviewing an obvious penalty try not give it, then go to this level of scrutinisation which was never going to be one or half as cynical.

 

[odw26]

Leaving aside the actual decision, how do Wasps not keep the penalty there?

 

[Reiser99]

TMO reviews are so inconsistent. Isn't still supposed to be for foul play and scoring decisions, not just regular open play penalties?

To be fair, how often do we see TMO interventions for deliberate knock ons when it's in open play and there's an overlap

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That looked like a tip from Barbeary and then a deliberate knock-on by umaga a few passes later
Surprised neither looked at
