Heineken Cup 2021/22

[Dave Cahill]

Went to Limerick for a game before Christmas when most the other French clubs didn't travel and changed the rules to let them do it.

They showed up for a scheduled fixture? The absolute swines.

The bar was pretty low that week.

The Busby Show debuts in Europe, Ben Whitehouse watch your back.

He got that red call dead right in fairness. But looks overawed.

He got that red call dead right.

Think he got the yellow right too but only because the law is an ass. Really dangerous and lazy tackle but because the guy was dipping he gets away with it, doesn't make sense to me.

I thought they were both red cards but if he wanted to use mitigation for the second one to reduce the sanction to yellow i don’t think you can ignore it on the first one. If anything Umaga was lower on the first tackle than the Toulouse tackler was on the second one. Looked like he (Busby) wanted to be strong on the first one (good call imo) and wanted to show he understands mitigation on the second one (bad call imo). All he did for me was show inconsistency and punished one side for 60 odd mins and the other for 10 instead of 30.

Great game though, Alfie Barbeary looks the business and he was super last week against Leicester also.

Wasps are good value for their win. Toulouse have been incompetent at times.

[cormac]

Really don't understand why Wasps kicked that penalty in the 79th minute rather than go for the fourth try.

Thought Connacht were dead in the water after they'd conceded 2 tries in the first ten mins. - 0-10 - but they've dragged themselves back to 14-10 after 26 mins.

[riocard911]

Brilliant start to the second half by Connacht. Try Marmion and Leicester number 7 gone to the bin. 21-10 after 44 mins.

[riocard911]

O'Halloran with the BPT after 48 mins!!!!! Beautiful back line move!!! 28-10

[riocard911]

65 mins. 28-17. Connacht getting munched at the scrums. Leicester putting on the squeeze....

[riocard911]

71 min. BPT mauled over by Leicester. Burns converts - 28-24......

[mildlyinterested]

will hickeys put on some serious size while in wales.

[riocard911]

Try Leicester at the death - 28-29. Victory to the visitors. Burns fails to convert. Fair play to the Tigers but Connacht sat back too much in the final minutes. And now Aki is accusing the ref after the final whistle of ignoring the try-scorer's foot having been in touch (which it wasn't and which Reynal had checked). Embarrassing. Connacht as bad losers isn't a good look.......

[wixfjord]

Huge shame for Connacht. They stopped playing for last 20 and looked wrecked.

Tigers are a good side.

Stupid stuff from Bundee at the end.

[IanD]

I hope Aki does - as requested by the ref - apologize both personally and more importantly publicly.

A nice tweet would go along way.

[outcast eddie]

Is no one going to do a Lady Gaga joke?

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Seemed odd to take Bealham off so early at the time. Maybe he’s carrying something but it gave the impression they thought it was done.

Leicester have some really powerful players but the tackling was still shocking at times.

He's come out and done that: https://twitter.com/bundeeaki12/status/ ... hlUlg&s=19
