Paris v Harlequins

[An Tarbh]

He's been off the boil since the Autumn internationals.

 

[An Tarbh]

I've never seen such suicidal play from Paris before today, what on earth are they playing at.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Wow, this is horrifying play from Paris. Stupid, stupid little errors. Half the team look like they're just not quite there...

Scrum five on the Stade line to 'Quins... Another try and they're really in trouble.

 

[An Tarbh]

alright that's better in the scrum but a rare good moment for Paris

 

[Sir Speedy]

That's a class run from <strike>the best number eight in the World</strike> Parisse, but he was well marshalled by the defence.
Perhaps he'll be the one to bring them back, given that Hernandez is hiding in his shell, presently.
Care yellow carded for killing the ball after some fantastic running from <strike>the best eight in the World</strike> Parisse.
12 - 3, Hernandez finally finds his target.

 

[An Tarbh]

Care in the bin now, crucial 10 minutes now for Paris, at least Hernandez got the penalty this time round.

love it when you're watching a stream and normal tv goes off for adverts and the cameramen decide to have a chat.

 

[gingergenius]

what stade have gymnasts! and nit very scantily clad cheerleaders...

 

[Sir Speedy]

Now that's sublime rugby...
Fantastic.
Must give credit to the 'Quins player who put in a superb tap-tackle on the Stade fullback prior to this try.

10 - 12 now. Game on.
Great touch finder from Evans. 'Quins on the attack now... but knocked on.
Stade escape for now.

and take credit from monye for an awful attempt

 

[An Tarbh]

Never good for a back to be skinned by a forward, his 10.6 100 metres didn't do him much good there.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Bounce of the ball given Stade another attacking position.
And another knock on after a pathetic pass delivered by Hernandez...
Ugh.

 

[An Tarbh]

Despite all their injuries they still have the likes of Blin and Bergamasco on the bench.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Ugh. An offload to Parisse and Stade would have had the lead.... Still, scrum for Paris in the 'Quins 22.
The latter'll need to defend for their life, and be wary of a drop-goal-prone Hernandez.

Shocking. Paris lose the scrum, Care booted it down the field and won the penalty for 'Quins.
10 - 15.

 

[An Tarbh]

How many opportunities has Hernandez given Quins today, woeful decision making there and Evans slots the kick.

15-10 Quins

 

[Sir Speedy]

Hernandez ushering his winger into touch...
We talk about Steyn having a shocker against Australia, but here Hernandez is absolutely diabolically bad. He could potentially turn the game, but right now he's doing everything he can to stop Paris from winning.

EDIT: Scrum five to Stade. They need to score now...
It's all gone to hell now. Harlequins man going blatantly offside to prevent a Stade try, but Paris retaliated with interest...
Well to be honest, the 'Quins are extremely lucky to still have 15 men on the field.
And they've got a penalty a metre away from their tryline...

 

[An Tarbh]

Crucial penalty there for Quins, Paris all over their line, they may escape this one afterall.

 

[An Tarbh]

Typical inconsistent reffing from Lewis, pings Paris for going off their feet a minute ago and blatantly ignore the same offence from Paris just there.

 

[An Tarbh]

How well did Roncero do well to hold onto possession there.

 

[An Tarbh]

Yet again they shoot themselves in the foot, story of the game.
