Yeah, but he thinks that if that was off Ojomoh's hand instead of head, then it would have stopped the try, because advantage isn't a thing, presumably...

Hard to see past Leinster, Toulouse and a lesser bit of Bourdeaux for this trophy. Everyone else is a distance behind that there is no chance of a 1 off shock even
Classic Coka, some good runs, some good pick-ups, and then that

As I said in the last thread, Coka fundamentally is not a good rugby player... Just a big, fast strong guy but poor technical skills.

The Finn Russell wankfest is so annoying
Leinster v Toulouse final pretty much nailed on already, the Champions Cup now is just a waste of time as a competition - boring. I don’t know why the English teams would even want to qualify for the knockout rounds, it’s not a level playing field. Added to the IRFU’s fiddling about which is all designed to help Leinster.

More homegrown players than any other club in Europe but ok....
Would be well down on Leinster fan mail but to be honest they irritating and obnoxious at times but being fair are well run. Toulouse being a 5 to 8 seed might spread cat amongst pigeons though

And picking the Irish players from all the other provinces....
The sharing of talent is not happening in Ireland.

Robbie Henshaw is the only Irish Leinster player not to come through the Leinster academy. So try again.

Every other province has more Leinster produced players than the other way around.
Both Munster and Connacht’s captains are from Leinster…

Oh yeah, we haven’t had a ‘Marcus Smith is not a good 10 post’ in a few days …

The format of the tournament is absurd. Stormers take 1 good win in 3 games and we will probably be in the play offs. And we probably don't even want to be there we are carrying so many injuries already with no chance in this tournament.

One day he may be worthy of even being in the same county as Finn Russell's bootlaces.

I see Jack Willis played number 8 for Toulouse at the weekend. Is this a regular thing or just a temporary measure?
Played there a handful of times,
Toulouse seem to play their backrowers as a unit rather than specific roles, though - commentary on the weekend also said shirt numbers were being dictated by which size shirt they can fit into, Willis was meant to wear 8 but the guy who was meant to wear 7 didn't fit in the shirt so they swapped (or vice versa - Willis was wearing 7 but was 8 on the team sheet anyway)
You'd have thought one of the richest clubs in the world would have more shirts, but there we are!
