Clermont v Toulon & Ospreys v Stade Francais still to come.

How fucking desperate are sky and the rest of the british media with their political propaganda?

Ive been watching the Champions Cup all weekend and all they continue to talk about is the lions every other minute

Even BT Sport who have nothing to do with the lions and dont show the matches are constantly talking about it

You really see the dirty pathetic unionist brainwashing they engage in when you take into account that theres talk that North Eastern Ireland could leave the UK and Unify with the Republic and that Scotland looks to be having another Referendum to leave too

Just a reminder

Fuck the lions, New Zealand will beat them

I would guess longer since both are french.

>Wayne Barnes already complaining about the clock not being stopped

The mad fuck is going for 120 mins

>99,55

>halfpenis

will habana still get in the SA team? I think he needs 2 more tries to beat the record

>Tin-Duck doing a special O'hara reward kick

Can't 3x3 if he hasn't got a ball to kick.

Based cockers

great skill contest

JP and Habana are still unironically their best wingers. Unless they decide to convert some of their pacier centres I assume they'll keep playing.

this game is a fucking mess

>Del Boulbes

kek it's scruffy as fuck so far

Do any of you think making the England- Baba game is worth it?

Nah should have played the ABs instead

arent they on for autumn tests?

Not this year

thriller so far kek

that is slightly aggravating

im sure they avoided it so they would have a better contest in the Lions - SH matches.

which im okay with, but it would be interesting to see how the two teams fair against each other with their current states.

>Cardiff Blues starting props against Gloucester had a combined age of 75

shit game

bayfield makes even cudmore look like a manlet

Leinster

wew

Bad post

please do better Toulon

That's Shane Williams m9

MORE NINA PICS

Austin Healy is fucking insufferable as a commentator.

He's still better than BOD

>Nonu bullying a tiny fly half

I don't like fact that Clermont never wears yellow in Heineken Cup/ECC matches

>cette année c'est la bonne

Is french club rugby always this good?

>9-9
What a treat.

RARE TRY

halfpenny got absolutely monstered

Don't get your hopes up, even if we win now, we'll just lose in finals or semi.
Again.
We don't suffer because we live, we live to suffer.

That's the spirit

At Toulon aren't buying their way to another Champions Cup this year

"At Least"

>In semis again
>Not playing it anywhere near St. Etienne or Lyon, but at fucking Bordeaux
>against the freaking Leinster

Seems oddly familiar. I might not survive this shit this time, if "this" happens again.

>We don't suffer because we live, we live to suffer

This the same thing that happened to Munster for years and they used all that disappointment to win it twice

But you're right, you will lose in the semi

shouldn't be near the Welsh team any more tbqh

We're not good enough to win the champions cup yet imo, the team has quite a young age profile

Another year or two maybe we will be

I can't see us winning away in France either, you're just a better side at the moment

Reckon Munster will lose too

but did munster also lost a dozen league finals?

and did their basketball team lost like 4 or 5 times in a row in European finals?

choking is in the DNA of the city

>when eddie jones goes to a game to watch a single player
/underthrill/

Just get off my island already you beta male embarrassment

Yeah, theres a load of new blood in the team but thats the same ones who ripped englands table toppers to shreds yesterday

Just go and cut your balls off already so you're pathetic anti Irish genes dont spread on my beautiful island

>Glasgow "Warriors"

KEK!

kek got his red eventually, dumb fucking coconut

>retreating
If you say so, ref.

Does it still count as being robbed if you let yourself get robbed?

literally shaking, season gone in 2 games against utter piss opposition

>you now remember Shane Williams' tears

It still hurts

>team lies on the ball, makes no attempt to roll away and completely kills it
>lol unplayable, game over

That is a very nice OP and I like you very much.

didn't the 'nacht lose to zebre the other day.

Fuck you. All that matters is that we won the big one.

I gave your mum the big one last night laddie

What the fuck happened to Connacht? They've failed to defend their title this season.

watching Brian Mujati's channel, totally past it as a player nowadays (especially in the loose) but really sound bloke

Loads of injuries, can only play one way which they struggled to implement sufficiently with the injuries, Carty is extremely average, don't play smart rugby which is related to point two I suppose

They're still a good side, hopefully Keane can remedy point 2 and 4 and they won't have that many injuries next season so they should be good enough qualify for a Pro12 play off spot

They had a hangover from last season and started this season like shit, plus they continue to have all their best players robbed off them by the other 3 Provinces

Expect them to get worse with Pat Lam leaving them

Definitely not regretting my decision not to renew my membership. Yes, that try was fucking refball, and without it we'd have won by 3, but given the match stats we should have been winning by around 10-20 were it not for utterly shitting the bed.

Lads top tip from lower league rugby.

London Irish are not going to get promoted this year

I guarantee it

Stop with cider. Now!

Jersey Reds have beaten them twice in a row.
They will meet in the playoffs and Jersey will win

They're close to being a ridiculously good side, but the final step looks like it might be too much.. The tight 5 is decent in the loose but absolutely horrendous at their actual job, and a lot of players in the backline seem to think they're Beauden Barrett and try miracle offloads and passes that just result in turnovers pr intercepts. It works really well when it works, but when it goes wrong it's dreadful.

It's good to see what happens when an NH club side decides it wants to play coconut rugby though

Playoff is other business, Collin

Jersey beat them in a cup semi final that's pretty much mirroring playoff rugger

>team name is an animal

>tfw I got the girl

ayyy

great post

A mickey mouse cup

>team name references a meme
Looking at you Kings

They always seem to have trouble finishing. I remember a couple of seasons back they were just in with a shout at a playoff. Two bonus point wins needed, against one of the Irish provinces and Zebre. Against expectations, they got the BP against the Irish and other results went their way. An easy win in Parma would have seen them through. Except they shit the bed, only scored three tries and lost by 3 points.

On a completely unrelated note, am I the only one who thinks rugby should have international breaks like the hooligans do? It's not like there's a risk of fixture congestion, given the season starts in fucking October. Teams wouldn't be without half their first-choice players for weeks, and nobody will have to play on the Scottish pitches at a time when they're utterly fucking unplayable.

Rugby

how do you go from this
