EPCR Challenge Cup

[TRF_Olyy]

Am I missing something. Surely Bath are going to win this game by 20 points?

Bookies have them -12, so not far off

I'm not watching the preamble but I'm guessing they're saying it's going to be a competitive game, Lyon are a dangerous side etc.?
Can't really just go 'Yeah bath will win, no point in watching", gotta sell it at least a bit

They’re a little more conservative from the 20 mins I’ve been half watching whilst cooking dinner but that’s the general gist.

Surprises me to see no top tear full

 

[Ddanno]

They're here to play

 

[IT157]

That was quick

 

[big ginger 8]

Come on you Bath is a terrible rugby chant.

Which is really saying something.

 

[Jimbo]

Was a nice 50/22 but it was more down to poor defensive positioning that excellent execution from FR.

The bus tour for the treble will be quiet going by this attendance

Oh, not a full stadium?

 

[Which Tyler]

When were you allowed to start playing the ball on the floor?

 

[TommiG88]

Feel like Bath are getting the rub of the ref decisions currently. Only slightly though

You'll be amazed to hear that I disagree...

Red 2 being on floor before the ball arrives, but playing it anyway is the only decision I'd properly challenge though

I'm caught up in this and may be being cycloptic (I always try not to be, but it's not always easy)

 

[big ginger 8]

Does it not have to leave the hands anymore?

 

[Ddanno]

Why is Spencer repeatedly trying to snipe 1m out and burying himself under a ruck

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bit of an attempted cheapshot from Bath 4 there - "maul" had already gone to ground/over the line and he flies in shoulder first into the bodies
Probably lucky he just piles into a teammate not a Lyon player

He's had a tMO check a few times this season, and always been given the all clear, but it's tough to get a decent camera angle that's also zoomed in enough

Just after Bath had knocked on and was quickly forgotten though.

Strange try there, didn’t think you could touch the ball in your hand with your boot and call it a quick tap. Thought you had to kick it into your hands

 

[Which Tyler]

Brilliant kick!

I'm 20m from it and didn't see it leave but fair enough.

Yeah, true.

You do, see above for discussion on previous examples.
It only has to travel 1mm between hands and foot
