Champions Cup 24/25 - Saturday, 24 May

[pagliaccio_euforico]

At the lineout the tackle in the air was similar to the one called earlier. I do think Mitchell goes to penahd’s shoulder.

 

[McTallshort]

TMOs been busy

 

[Reiser99]

Ignore, Mitchell not Freeman

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Saints Lions players haven't stepped up in the way you'd want them to

 

[TommiG88]

Bordeaux have kicked the ball fantastically this game

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Why do Bordeaux go to corner, there maul sucks?

 

[Reiser99]

Saints haven't been clinical enough. Any score would have put the pressure on Bordeaux, but Saints have wasted too many chances.

 

[McTallshort]

Coles for England

 

[Reiser99]

How was that not offside?

 

[TommiG88]

That’s harsh, especially after an obvious offside

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Eh, that’s straight the saints just moved too far in.

 

[BrokenWing]

That seems harsh.

 

[TommiG88]

Penaud nicely round the side to clear out there

 

[Ddanno]

Coles for England

He's been comfortably Saints' best player even if you ignore the tries

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Bordeaux are better kickers and I think that’s been the difference.

 

[Rinkadink]

Bordeaux are better kickers and I think that's been the difference.

I think injuries and cards (or lack thereof) have played a bigger factor.

Bordeaux had to change kicker as it was that bad.

 

[McTallshort]

Bordeaux are better kickers and I think that's been the difference.

Definitely but BB isn't the best under the high ball

 

[Reiser99]

I think injuries and cards (or lack thereof) have played a bigger factor.

Ref hasn't been great, but Saints have had their chances. Injuries definitely didn't help, but I don't think you can't say Bordeaux don't deserve it.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Saints big game players didn’t really take control of the game

Coles was amazing certainly should be starting in the summer

 

[Rinkadink]

I don't think you can't say Bordeaux don't deserve it.

I didn't say that at all though. I just think it made a bigger difference than the kicking between the two sides.
