Welford Road - 20/01/13 - 15.00​

This one is probably the most interesting game of that round.
If Toulouse plays the way they played recently I predict a comfortable win with bonus point for Leicester.
Now if toulouse plays it as a HC game then it's gonna really become unpredictable.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Certainly an interesting game.
Don't think Leicester have been playing too great recently, and (apparently) neither have Toulouse.

No idea how this will go - I'd say Toulouse normally, however it's at Welford road. Think it'll be the game of the round, though.

Toulouse could have gone through just getting a losing bonus point if it weren't for this awful piece of play...

Due to the weather, Toulouse did not get to Leicester yesterday as planned and are now due to arrive this afternoon.....I would think that Leicester have to start as favourites as Toulouse just have not played as a team this year BUT they can turn it on at any time and, who knows, tomorrow could be that time? Close one and probably the best match of the round to end coverage on......

Leicester will win this match. Toulouse will get a LBP and TBP. Both teams through to QF. It has already been decided.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

why the f*** are they using a white ball...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Could they not use a different coloured ball?
This ones basically invisible!

Unlucky there for Morris probably should have passed.

 

[Tony Manx]

What are the odds that this match will not finish?

Toulouse will get a LBP and TBP. Both teams through to QF. It has already been decided.

Then they would be level with Munster and be down to tries scored......anyone know how many thaey would need if this hypothetical situation were by some chance come about?!

Worst tighthead in the world Dan Cole is doing all right vs the Toulouse scrum, so far.

 

[Tony Manx]

Worst tackling fly half in the Top 14 playing as McCallster cannot be trusted to kick these days and what happens.......................misses!!

why the f*** are they using a white ball...

As far as I know Adidas don't make a flourocsent ball and I imagine they'd have a strop if they switched to a different ball from another maker. They should for the good of the game, its hard to track the ball in these conditons

Especially on a terrible stream, I thought Mafi dived down on the ball there and couldn't believe he didn't try and pick it up.

I think Mafi went down 3-0 yards away from the ball as his hamstring went? He is off and Crane is on......

Who has ever said Dan Cole is bad..
