Racing pack largely getting a rest, a result might just be possible for Edinburgh.

Wow, I really wish I could see this game. I am reading the texts from Rugbyrama site and it sounds awesome! 21-21

Godman drop goal at the death wins it for Edinburgh, 27-24.

Fantastic finish, thought for sure he would miss.

Hmm, double posts above.

Can't believe how many times Steyn slipped/ fell in the game, apart from those cock-ups was excellent in everything he did, we're it not for Talei and Godman ( ) he would have got MotM.

This does a good job of cocking up the Blues chance of progression. Cardiff should be able to score four tries against a Racing side like that, I just think they will flounce against LI like the Ospreys.
Didn't watch this one but from what I've read, Racing's back were a total disaster. Never been a fan of Hernandez; Wisniewski is a better option IMO, more consistent.

the problem for Racing was shocking defense for two of the tries which Rennie and Denton scored, I didn't see who missed the tackles, also their pack has some dead wood in it such as Chabal and Lo Cicero, and some of the other forwards can't run without dropping the ball

Racing are not a good side at the minute and are struggling to make the top 6 in France at the minute, and Stade have regained their position of the best side in Paris, they

Never rated Hernández? Not even back when he was at his best? he's not recovered best form since having a series of back problems, but back in 2007 he was immense both for Stade Français and Argentina



meanwhile Wisniewski is a club player, and isn't that consistent he cost Racing the match last week that they drew against Perpignan with poor goal kicking, he is like a mini Beauxis has a big boot but doesn't use the backs outside him

but I don't think the problem with Racing lies at 10
