Leinster beat the Scarlets 32-21 to make the URC Semi Finals.

Leinster the better team but Llanelli were in it

Inaccuracy and ill discipline the difference

Mr Fish

If the Scarlets beat Leinster, will Jordie Barrett be available for the Hurricanes for the Super Rugby playoffs?

Nope, general rule is you have to have been a squad member for three weeks of the regular season. Teams can apply for dispensation but only when there are big injury issues.

Sharks-Munster has gone to extra time.

No score in twenty minutes of extra time. So Sharks-Munster goes to penalties.....

A kicking contest is a weird way to settle a Rugby game.

The South Africans have spoiled it with some unsporting antics. No surprise about that.

Mr Fish

Premier Sports has shit the bed for me - furious.

The Sharks win the shoot-out 6-4.

But they will be complaints about them shouting at the opposition goalkickers and falling over with "cramp" as the other team's kickers were taking their kicks.

Amazing

Ange, LBB second try, Coleman

Ange's try is as good an individual effort as you will see, but i really like that 2nd ABB try. Fuck he is so very good.

Nowell's finish was as good as you would see from an NRL winger who make a living from doing that shit, outrageous put down.
Leyds' probably won't get the recognition it deserves, that was a very nice piece of skill to pull that off in a couple of heartbeats under pressure.

@MiketheSnow Some bloody good tries in that. Can't help but feel us exporting our IP has been to our detriment somewhat.

Facebook tells me that Toulon has named 12. Nonu 13. Fainga'anuku for this week's game.

Wonder which is supposed to be the rapier?

Lots of chat about Owen Farrell leaving Racing Club in Paris and resigning for Saracens.

Better off losing 9 letters

If they’d lost 12 would have sounded like a new Gall bladder medicine

@Bones I wonder how much the marketing consultants charged for that one?

Total and utter bollocks if you ask me.

Russell is a genius and a reckless knob head.

And after all the waffle about Australasian refs being lax on high shots, it's astonishing watching players target the upper shoulders time after time in the premiership final.
