That Scott Higginbotham thing is weird. BT tweeted it but then deleted the tweet. Aren’t they doing the draw?
I'm calling a fix!!

Very strange. If the draw comes out that way there'll be questions to be answered...

BT claim that nobody knows and showed the material for the draw. Hope we aren't in for a "warm balls" scandal.

Don't know what they are complaining about. Dead late, cheap shot, deliberate.

That line out maul of Toulouse is some weapon. I've lost count how many penos they've won using it.

When is the semi final draw? Are they doing it after this game?

Ta. Anything other than Toulouse away would be ok I reckon. Although I think I'd prefer Toulouse at home to La Rochelle or Bordeaux away. We'll have to beat Toulouse somewhere if we're to win it.

I was thinking the same. The Pro 14 doesn’t seem so pitiful by comparison
