Investec Champions Cup 23/24 - Rd 4

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

That is shambolic by Sale. About 3 different players could have tackled him but they all left it to someone else.

Why did nowell join a team where he's the fifth best back three player?

proximity to the beach

Genuinely, he's mad on surfing and sailing

Really poor one to give away into that wind. Need to hold the score like Saints yesterday.

Don't forget the cash.

It never hurt his international career

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Atonio has more champions cup winners medals than Onasanya has senior rugby starts

This is the first time I've seen ROG at a game this year. Glad to see he's gotten past all his bans.

Shocking from the referee to allow that maul to collapse onto an injured player and medic

indeed with all this talk of duty of care being paramount and expecting players to have it at the forefront of their minds at all times, yet officials don't with ample time etc.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Is Benjamin Kayser actually offering some insightful commentary about scrums? Doesn't he know that you're just supposed to call them boring and groan every time one is called?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Probably should've stopped it then when the ruck was practically on top of the 10 and LR medic too

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Jeeze, this wind is killing us
We're being very naive with kick choices

 

[Jimbo]

Never a dull moment with Warr, quality.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

La Rochelle #4 tried to cheap shot Warr at that ruck and ended up doing his knee in the process hahaha

 

[Jimbo]

Ford to drop goal half a dozen with the wind behind him in the second half for the win.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Apart from that try Sale managed that quite well. If George Ford ever had a chance to win me over it's the next 40mins of rugby.

La Rochelle is back.

Another 40 minutes of suffering and you can turn off your television

Haha it will take more than a home win against a depleted Sale side with mixed form to convince anyone Rochelle are back. When they get knocked out in the round of 16 and ROG has his inevitable melt down maybe you could invite him to watch a few future games whilst he serves his ban.
