What is up with Welsh scrum halves kicking the ball away with less than a minute to go and they're losing?
Not the sharpest tool in the box.
lancaster doing one last solid for sexton by having an even more disastrous Leinster --> Racing transition
First in the top 14 currently tho.
Group stages are lifeless in a way as it harder to eliminate yourself than qualify. La Rochelle they saying are hanging by a thread but are still more likely to qualify than not.
Yes, he's had a few where he's been immense, vs Sarries stands out this year, and a few in the covid seasons.
Fewer since JvG arrived, but then, JvG brought a personal favourite FB with him, so last year Tom's game time was much more limited, and this year he's fighting for his place, and often over-playing.
Normally you'd say that wasn't too bad a thing, his versatility would make him nailed on for the 23 shirt, and enough gametime to settle down - but again, JvG does love him a 6:2 bench, so the 23 shirt is usually the backrow replacement.
Conversely, I'm sure I have, but I don't recall seeing him have a bad game personally (plenty as part of a bad team performance, which may mean that he did, but didn't stand out as such)

I was in one of several sold out blocks in the shade (see photo). No local would countenance sitting facing west at this time of year. It's horrendously sunny. That said I also think that in summer our evening games will sell better than afternoon ones. Next Champions Cup match for us in mid Jan at 7.30pm. Let's see. We've been disappointing on the road recently, but some form should lead to bigger crowds I think. Some tricky URC derbies up next.

We will see if that lasts now that the Internationals are back for other teams
Sandy Park a bit meh this morning.
But we in the house now. Will never be a fan of these early Sunday games.

Will probably lose playoffs anyway.

Exeter have started this game poorly
Diabolical defending there. Archer just a non entity in that line break. All came from Casey getting caught at a ruck, although he's otherwise been good.
Ahern is a freak. Crowley is showing tonnes of variety to try and beat their rapid line speed.

Hmmm. No penalty try?
Tells him to leave it and then awards the penalty?
Great steal from Beirne although the red had just told Beirne to leave it alone??? Terrible refereeing

Yeah, some confusing decisions in the last minute of that half
We're playing decently well. Carrying a couple of passengers imo as well though.
Can't fault any of our backs though they're working really hard. Crowley has looked good, but he has a few mistakes in him too. That intercept was shocking.
