The low effort I put into this match thread is my gift to you

Didn't even crop the screenshot from my phone nicely

Can't wait for the 2020/21 season which will probably start about 3 days after the final.

All French final is my prediction anyway

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Nige actually enforcing the "use it" rule

I take it all back, maybe he is a decent ref

Finn Russell constantly flinging hospital passes at his players.

That was a try if Nigel was paying any attention.

The opening of Thunderstruck is going to be playing on repeat in my head for the rest of time after this.

Kind of had the feel that whoever got a try would win it. Saracens haven't put Racing under any pressure over the last 20 minutes.

Vakatawa is some baller. Racing have played all the rugby, glad to see them get over and happy for Donncha and Zeebs.
Off topic the constant music in that stadium would **** me off so much especially if I was a player. Halftime I get but every break in play?

 

[Reiser99]

Still wondering why lewington didn't kick the ball and fell over picking it up instead.

Hopefully the other semis winner takes the cup,
Racing such an unlikeable club/group of players

Did you have that post already saved and just edited the name based on who won?

If Zebo and Russell had to retire before the final with fatty liver disease I wouldn't mind them. Hopefully Exe get it done.

Delighted with that result. As easy as it is to admire Saracens as being a brilliantly effective unit, the style they play with is horrible to watch.

It'd be great for the tournament to have a first time winner.

Anybody else think that Vakatawa was in front of the kicker?

No replay on TV (let alone officials) after the try awarded.

Which is odd

I see your point and also probably want the other semis winner to go the distance but I think they're a lot more tolerable than the 'wolf pack' to be fair. I don't mind them as I'm a huge fan of Ryan and I have a lot of time for Zebo. They also play some lovely rugby.

Tbh there were a few incidents/decisions I felt the TMO could have checked. However doesn't change the fact that the better team won.

It potentially was yeah. TV guy was very cute in not showing a replay of the kick on the big screen. Found Nigel's decision not to let the potential Racing try a few minutes before frustrating as well, but that's Owens' style to use the TMO as little as possible which I really can't stand to be honest.
