Balls. Thought the Italian Scallion would take it!

Fair play to them, the improvement they have made has been remarkable and has improved the competition a hell of a lot. Scarlets won't fancy next week.

Well - I only caught the last 8 minutes. Looks I managed to catch the highlights though - heartwrenching for Benetton.

Scarlets haven't a hope in this competition though. Soft as a labradoodle when the other team can get fast ball and plough through. They totally overcommit to opposition rucks and Treviso's ball placement was too good for them. Scarlets backs obviously miles better but don't play by the old adage of earning the right to go wide often enough.
Fair cop to Treviso, losing these sort of games narrowly is a step most team take before the results eventually stick and they learn to grind out a win. So much about them today looked sharp and they look really well coached even if the players aren't all there yet. Their young lads were very good kept the Scarlets back row very quiet.

Come back Austin - all is forgiven (well, almost all)

Pilou pilou is awful enough to make me support Bath...

No

Toulon still don't know how to recruit props, I remember when they signed Matt Stevens LOL

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

The french and their balloons

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Very forward pass.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Lovely try.

I like the way this is going so far

Bath playing some very sexy rugby.

We are... we are so hot and cold this season!

 

[Which Tyler]

Not too subtle

Any betting that that's not the last we see of Toulon #3?

My money's on the replacement THP going off "hurt" bang on 60 minutes
