Which country am I?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Bath please get back on script. I'm here to watch Dupont.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Toulouse player taking out the support getting to that ruck off the ball.

 

[Jimbo]

Expecting both teams to go for the corner until they get 4 try's, bonus point is all either need.

 

[Which Tyler]

Can't really argue with that - however unpleasant the neck wrestling looks (pretty standard maul technique, just a little too obvious)

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Absolute idiot, just let them score the try rather than conceding a yellow too!

Ah of course it's Ewels

 

[Which Tyler]

Great line and timing fro Coka - completely ignored by Gallagher

 

[Which Tyler]

Kick at posts?
Why?

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Great line and timing fro Coka - completely ignored by Gallagher

Can't work out wtf Gallagher was thinking there, Bath had no other players there to support him if he got tackled. This is old Bath stuff, absolute braindead stupidity.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Think he goes under the radar a bit but I really like Miles Reid. Don't think he's a guy who will ever really compete for international honours (unless there's a pretty major injury crisis) but he's a guy who is good at every aspect of back row play. 100% deserves to keep a starting shirt even when T. Hill returns IMO.

 

[Which Tyler]

Brace is very generous with offloads out of a ruck.I like it, but I'm not convinced they're "immediate"

 

[Which Tyler]

Wow.
Was not expecting a first half like this.
And we're generally a 2nd half team this year!

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Lawrence again looking the real deal. Good defence earlier and now a strong finish.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Prioritised the wrong game this avo. Have to miss the second half and this is interesting

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Bath kinda getting a lot of favorable calls from the ref

Bath kinda getting a lot of favorable calls from the ref

Both teams have, and it's leading to some very entertaining rugby.

If bitching about ref, then the first try was scored after an ignored tackle, 2nd from a penalty taken well in front of the mark, plenty of passing out of the middle of a ruck...
And yes, some odd calls with lineouts (I'm sure we've been doing the same thing), some generous interpretations (in Bath's favour) around rucks and whether or notweve released etc.

I for one, am not complianing though, it's an excellent game of rugby so far.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Some of the camera work is ****, they love doing this pitch level camera that doesn't let you see what is happening.

 

[Which Tyler]

Good catch by the officials.
Must admit, I thought it was brilliant play live.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

So Toulouse immediately giving away penalties in the 22 again, when will it be a warning?

 

[Which Tyler]

I do like to see a SH get his dirty and prevent the jackal occasionally
