Heineken Cup Semi Final- Saracens v Clermont

[Leonormous Boozer]

Not even a penalty! Sarries are getting reffed all the way to the final...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

 

[Jaguares]

It's a very small crowd for a big game. I expected to see more supporters

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

If Saracens make the final, I will be utterly shocked looking back at their whole campaign so far..

 

[Groundhog]

Right check Sarries killing the ball at every ruck and running block lines. Clermont are pure timid though.
Still can't say who I want to win but I feel a bit sorry for Clermont at the moment.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Killing the ball on the 5m line, no card?!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Someone just had a running penalty kick right into Binny's head at a ruck a second ago.
Surprised that Binny's head is still attached to his shoulders let alone that he got up from it (though it took a few minutes).



Anyone know why Goode is kicking? (Missed first 20mins, so just checked the scorers on twitter).

 

[Groundhog]

Farrell was doing NOTHING about that try.

 

[Patchey]

Crossing? That was a legitimate line!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Wow

 

[Jaguares]

Obstruction by Chouly???

 

[Patchey]

Sarries living dangerously at the rucks. I think Owens is starting to lose patience.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Poor performance by Owens today to be honest..

 

[Patchey]

Yeah. Well not poor per se, just below his usually excellent standards.



Please say Farrell hasn't scored that.

 

[Jaguares]

Knock-on or was in the knee?

Farrell was injured and hasn't practiced kicking for two weeks

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Goode's forward pass? **** sake, game ruined.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Farrell was injured and hasn't practiced kicking for two weeks

Fair play, cheers

 

[j'nuh]

Did I just see a well-worked Farrell-Goode-Ashton try there? :huh:

 

[Groundhog]

Thought that pass beforehand was forward or at least deserved a look now.

 

[dragos03]

Owens is doing his best to help the Saracens win, shocking performance so far from him.

 

[Jaguares]

Poor performance by Owens today to be honest..

Yeah but Goode is in his best

I saw that too, filthy ******* should have been red.

Fortune is definitely with Saracens today though, and I have to say Ashton is having the best game I have seen in years.

When was it?

Ashton isn't allowed to have a good game, there's already a bit of media gype about him getting a recall and this is not on!

You Made that comment after only about 30 mins of game play. Rather over the top. Apart from the penalty try, which should have been just a penalty, what had Owens really done wrong?

The disallowed try was by the letter of the law indeed w penalty. I recall identical scenarios where people on here were up in arms because an England or sarries try WASNT disallowed

Missed the forward pass on the third try and hasn't shown a card to Sarries despite constant offenses. Disallowing Clermont's try was marginal as well.

 

[Groundhog]

Gonna say I want Clermont to win. I was up for Sarries at the beginning but I can't think of a more undeserving finalist.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

When was it?

In the build up to the disallowed Clermont try.
Just inside Sarries half on the far side of the pitch, Binny went to clear out, went off his feet, rolled away and started to get up and a Clermont player kicked him in the side of the head.

 

[munstermuffin]

Ulster must be looking and saying there is a HUGE chance of HEC final gone as Clermont are red raw terrible today and Sarries ain't as superb as SKY make it out

Just before Johnston went down injured.
