[ZeFrenchy]

Just caught the game. Anyone else watching?

 

[Tony Manx]

Wast watching boring game between Scarletts and Leinster and just noticed Treviso score......tell me more!!

 

[ZeFrenchy]

I just caught it, so can't tell you much. Dusautoir is not impressed with the officiating though.

 

[Tony Manx]

ref is Leighton Hodges and must admit never heard the name (althoough may recognise the face) never mind where he is from?

Edit. now I have seen him, still do not know him or have ever seen him but heard that he is welsh.............

 

[Groundhog]

This could be a huge scalp for Treviso. Tolouse will roll the subs

 

[ZeFrenchy]

Toulouse brought the bench in, I don't think treviso will hold the lead.
Yellow for Clerc, for interrupting a try situation with an itentional knock-on. And french commentators and their refereeing paranoia are extremely annoying.

 

[Tony Manx]

The ref is not frightened of using the cards is he....what is that the third in 15 minutes of playing time? Would like to see Doussain at 10...surely ST have another decent 9 to allow this move?

 

[ZeFrenchy]

Just a little chubby aussie called Luke.

 

[Tony Manx]

Ah yes..Burgess. What ever happened to him? Doussain was brilliant at 10 in Under 20's summer before last and think he has good chance at 10 for France?

Looks all over now for Trreviso....could be down to nine men soon!!

 

[ZeFrenchy]

Doussain is in really top form at 9. That's what happenned to Burgess. I think Doussain's game management is a lot better from 9 than from 10. So is his defence.

 

[Tony Manx]

Can understand that but McAllister does not cut it at 10 and there is an argument that France needs him to develop at 10 as few challengers to TrinDuch who can be brilliant but inconsistent?

 

[ZeFrenchy]

He's been getting some gametime at 10, but mostly by 15-20 minute bits. Like today.

 

[Tony Manx]

Straight red............................he missed a trick there!

 

[gaston le gaff]

Straight red............................he missed a trick there!

2nd yellow then red !!! but the force of the Toulouse bench brought them through in the end that old saying strength in depth !!!!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

For a while there it looked like ospreys or tigers might actually have a shot at qualifying...

 

[DuncTheDoodle]

I was excited for about 60 minutes. Then Toulouse came out to play. Boo hoo.
