Investec Champions Cup 23/24 - Round of 16

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

It's only the narrative because of the change in format I think tbh. We've been in that stage, but never won a knockout game, so it feels different.

Just noticed there are two games (both of which I'd want to watch) are on @3PM today.

Why, oh why, did they not just stick another game on Friday night early or late afternoon on Sunday.

You mean Leinster thrashing Leicester doesn't interest you?

Looks like Storm BloodyRidiculousNames is due to hit at around kick-off, running pretty much straight up and down the pitch.
So will be a game of 2 halves, and if it's slightly late, a lot could depend on the toss.
Nice deep 22s down there as well.

If the wind is anything like we've got in the Midlands today then expect to see some tryline to tryline kicks for touch, let alone 50:22s

We're getting 90+ kmh gusts here. Golf is considered dangerous in those conditions, going to be some weird moments today.

Bulls looking good here, KLA should have finished there really.

Strong gusts here at the moment - laundry is drying beautifully!

There's some sunburn out on the pitch in Pretoria,
Making the most of the weather

Lyon look they will die if they have to run more than five yards

Lyon look they will die if they have to run more than five yards

They also look like they'll die if they have to hold onto the ball for more than 15s
So many handling errors

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Pearse standing directly between Page-Relo and the tryline when he took that.

Terrible call

 

[Gavin]

Sneaky scrumhalf try there by Lyon. Bulls just not paying attention IMO

 

[die_mole]

lyon were the one with the water carrier and they had a player on in front of the kicker. If bulls brought a water carrier on it should 100% be allowed but Lyon were the ones slowing the game down, they shouldn't then get to go quick.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ah let em have it, they're getting pumped

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Snyman and Daly out tomorrow for Munster.

Big big losses.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Penalty try surely? Looked like he got clotheslined

Fantastic break and I always love a diagonal kick in field

Edit: high shot not as bad on replay as live but that's still a PT

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

If Moody had better hands than post hand injury Cian Healy he'd be world class.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Yeah lol. Lost the ball softly there and gives away the PT trying to recover. Very poor.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Akker

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Filthy try, you wouldn't guess who was down to 14

Akker definitely been eating good since he went home, he's built more like a prop now
