Pool Four, Round Four

I expect a response from Racing this time around. It was, all in all, fairly humiliating to go down like that last week. And though they've been far too mediocre all year long for what they've got on paper, surely they'll show a different side this time than last week in Nantes.

Clermont visiting the Scarlets: let's see what Clermont can conjure on the road. Could be a very entertaining one.

Scarlett 13 10 ASM at half time....................?!!!!

 

[Thingimubob]

Clermont getting the rub of the green in the scrum at times, looked to be like they were driving sideways making PhilJohn get hurt and collapse. Lee does the same and the Clermont prop pops up, but penalty goes again to the French side, not much consistency!

 

[Tony Manx]

Overall they were dominant enough to deserve the penalty try.............

Overall they were dominant enough to deserve the penalty try.............

2 two scrums of that period yes, but the ones before it. They were getting away with quite a lot of boring there...

 

[Tony Manx]

Nothing clear and obvious from those replays to upset any reason why I cannot award a try question!

My goodness I am good!!!!

 

[Tony Manx]

That should wrap it up for ASM....................13-31 after 74

 

[Toko_11]

this game is so boring i switched over to watch curling -_-

 

[Big Ewis]

aaaaaaah, if only the USAP could've won that game at home, would've been one beautiful day for French teams in the Euro-Cup !!....
but very nice result for the Clermont boys on the road.

And thats how the powers of tmo review for any play are ruining the game as a spectacle; an amazing try not given due to a knock on a minute earlier...

 

[Tony Manx]

Looks like a great Quins try but Dewi is a tw t................the "punch has to be a red card" but when it isn't he said that it would have "spoiled the spectacle"..........and, if you listen to him, there is only one side playing?!!

The Racing prop seemed to punch "old mohican" Marler and, if indeed, it was then it was so bad that a red was obvious and necessary. However, I wonder with what had previously happened whether it was indeed a punch or an attempt to get loose from Marler who seemed to be hanging on to him? I am not sure even after watching the replays............

Try not given.................

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Mike Philips is so ****.

 

[Tony Manx]

Mike Philips is so ****.

**** hungover?

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

That too!

Sensational work from Luke Wallace there. Perfect body position. Get him into the eps!

Push off the ball from Racing.

 

[Tony Manx]

Do you feel that this match is just drifting along but not really got going?

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

I feel it could really burst into life and there's been lots of almost brilliant moments from quins...

But it's a great contest without those - I guess I just love watching quins play.

 

[Aristodemus]

Evans doesn't look happy.

Edit: Walker has had a great game.

 

[Tony Manx]

I feel Racing are there for the taking yet Quins just have not been able to do it...............surely the pack is so far on top they should be way ahaed by now

 

[Tony Manx]

Good try and scoreboard beginning to reflect the superiority!
