Heineken Champions Cup - Rd 1

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Great bit of pressure and try but we look a little shell shocked still.

 

[Reiser99]

Saints forwards are so slow to the breakdowns. Racing look like they have a chance to turnover at almost every ruck. Great little kick.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Do refs not bother with offside anymore?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Racing going to score more than we did v Saints

 

[Reiser99]

No way that Racing player came in from behind the ruck. Right in front of Adamson as well. Absolute joke.

 

[Reiser99]

Some of the tackling from Saints has been atrocious.

No complaints best team won deservedly so.
Ref was meh but had no influence other than its not quite his standard .

Yeah ref was just poor not biased.

We just looked panicked and didn't really seem to have a gameplan.
I think we need a better front row/ locks to challenge at the top in Europe.

Hasn't that been the thing with Boyd's Saints since he took over though?
Always struggled against some of the teams with bigger nastier packs. Will he change now

Only saw highlights but Jesus Christ what was that Saints defence. Russell is a good player, but was made to look like a playmaking Jonah Lomu.

Dickson having a howler

 

[Jimbo]

French teams so far looking solid, hard to see much but them dominating in terms of quantity of teams progressing from group stages.

 

[Jimbo]

Jeez the DuPont show

 

[Reiser99]

Don't think Cardiff have much left. So many players look exhausted. Some are struggling to keep up with the play.

That is one large 19 year old on in the row for Cardiff.

Adams on the chase really surprised me

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Dupont is next level

 

[Jimbo]

Honestly think this would be so much closer without DuPont or him not going god mode, huge involvement in every try I think .

 

[Groundhog]

Feel for Cardiff, they're clearly struggling as the game goes on here. Credit to their fans for being right behind the team all day. This refs breakdown interpretation is awful imo

First red of the weekend
