Deny Solomona seems to have been a dick - been charged with making a homophobic slur (though no word on what it was).

BBC are reporting the same as Bastareaud...

[iwantagta]

Bath perfoming as expected in the Anglo Welsh

[mfmman]

Most frustrating and second half was much the same as the United game on Monday night

A stat of how many tries have been scored within the next minute after a charge down of a Burns kick would be interesting. (it might be very few it just seems to happen all too often to me)

Anyone else watching Scarlets Vs La Rochelle?

With Sarries the only English club left in it, my support is right behind Scarlets, and they're not disappointing so far.

Frenetic would be a good word to describe the first twenty...

[JonChalk]

Torn.

Usually dislike Scarlets with a passion, but they have been playing well and exciting rugby, plus would like to see French team knocked out, so......Hmmmm.

One of the strangest tries for a long time in the Munster game.

Not as embarrassing (for Edinburgh) as the Blues first try.

Who exactly is it that thinks the European Champions Cup has "lost its aura"?: https://www.google.ie/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/sp...

It certainly hasn't from my (Irish) point of view

Weren't similar views expressed last time Premiership clubs didn't do well? As an Ulster fan (is it wise to admit that with the st linked to the club!?) we won the Cup in 99 due to the lack of interest shown by English top level clubs.

Now that the Irish regions are doing so well on a level playing field, well done to them!

It did rather take the gloss off it for me back when Irish qualification was a foregone conclusion, bit now that's no longer the case, up to the English and French clubs to up their games.

I'd love to know how someone like Aviva can actually measure whether or not the sponsorship paid off for them. As far as I'm aware, I've never chosen a product because of something they're sponsoring, but on the other hand, how would I actually know?
