Champions Cup 2019/2020: Pool 1

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

Great to see Max Deegan rewarded for last weeks exceptional performance.

Saints have Mallinder on the wing...

Yep dire straights fitness etc wise in backs.
Mitchell 9 been out 6 months.
Cobus 9 carrying injury for a few weeks.
Bigger 10 as above.
Francis 12 concussion
Proctor 13 concussion
Collins 14 banned.
Hence Digging the depths in backs usual rotation in Forward pack around fit players.
Slightholme recalled from England under 20s to start.

McGrath was a good bit off there anyway. Still cut them open in record time though

Did Lyon just buy a job lot of toulons old kit to save costs or something?

The two sponsors either side of the crest are just awful.

Leinster BTFO

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Definitely has a feel of neither side really giving a ****
Gonna be a lloott of tries

 

[Groundhog]

Scott Fardy pursuing NFL career as a goal line back????

 

[big ginger 8]

Should have got a lot more out of this half.

 

[Reiser99]

What is up with Northampton's lineout? It's atrocious.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Mediocre enough. Lyon dragging us down to their level again.

Dire

 

[Leinster Fan]

Northampton have a real chance at making the quarter finals and they're blowing it at home to Treviso.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I know Saints have got a hundred and one injuries but losing at home to Treviso is ******* dire

 

[FLOBALOB]

Ridiculous not to take the 3 pts -they can qualify w/o BP

...... AND AGAIN

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

That is retarded... Of course it needs to be a knock on to be offside.

 

[duncanb]

Well dug ourselves out of a hole of our own making.
Take the 5 points move on .
Butchered more chances than we took.
But 5 tries playing sh$#e still.
Think not getting at least a point will haunt us.
Pre Munster game see it as us or Gloucester for number 8 seed .
Who wants to play Leinster again.
