Heineken Champions Cup 22/23 - Round of 16

[West Country Wail]

Am I a massive hippy for considering the carbon impact?

On topic; what an incredible offload and finish there!

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Definitely touches the line on that angle.

 

[Jimbo]

That looked more like a his foot touched the line than Cueto in France.

I'm not much bothered by the competition in general, but the refereeing today has been dreadful; supposed to be a top line contest.

As a SAFFA, I don't miss super rugby. At all. I'm so glad we in these competitions now. You guys might dislike it but for us it's such a massive breath of fresh air.

I mean, we were previously traveling to Japan, then Australia/New Zealand and then from there hopping over to Argentina… It's a bit unclear if the overall switch has been carbon positive or negative (looking at it from the full carbon footprint perspective (NZ/Aus/JP/Arg/EU) rather than just the teams from EU)

Some dodgy decisions but Stormers definitely deserved the win.

Refs have been so bad this weekend. The scrums are basically a lottery

 

[IT157]

Looks like a pretty good attendance which is nice to see.

 

[Jer1cho]

In the words of Connor McGregor, we are not here to take part, we're here to take over.

40k. Our stadiums look half empty, but they are way bigger than in Europe.

No, it's really the main reason I'd consider binning it. Seeing French clubs play against the South African sides is my idea of perfect rugby.

Just make the clubs plant trees or something.

I do wonder if it's profitable in challenge cup, Toulon was at like 25% for the cheetahs game.

 

[IT157]

What a pass by Smith!

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Fantastic pass from Smith

 

[Jer1cho]

What a pass by Smith!

He reminds me so much of a young Frans Steyn. Has he never been tested at 15? I feel he would be a way better 15 than a 10.

 

[IT157]

These late tries are flattering the scoreline for Quins.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That didn't look pleasant for Collier

 

[Jer1cho]

Now let's see if I the Bulls can pull a miracle. I think they will. At home, we are a different kettle of fish.

It seems like Bulls and Stormers normally have the best turn out for South African teams.

Can probably give Fourie the MOTM award now, been everywhere on attack and defence

And there he is, with the award in the end.
