Absolutely wasted!
You should be on The Blame Game.

Nah. You'd be wasted there as well.

This series of The Blame Game has been very good actually - will watch the latest episode tonight.

Full house at Quins.

Let's hope we still have something to play for.

[justinr73]

And they don’t.

[jean valjean]

And they don’t.

Who do they play again?

[justinr73]

And they don’t.

Who do they play again?

Same as us except Cardiff instead of Bath.

Their two French games are first up though.

Ronan O’Gara has been hit with a one-week ban which will limit his involvement in La Rochelle’s crunch Champions Cup opener against Leinster on Sunday.
The former Munster and Ireland out-half’s latest brush with the French disciplinary chiefs comes after he made comments to the fourth official in the wake of his side’s defeat to Racing 92 two weeks’ ago.

That game has been damaging, with Teddy Thomas hit with a five-week ban for the high tackle that saw him sent to the stands. It could have been worse for the former France winger, who had his initial 10-wee suspension mitigated down.

O’Gara has been in disciplinary hot water on a number of occasions during his time in France, and this week-long ban brings the total weeks he’s been suspended since signing on at La Rochelle to 21 weeks.

In November 2021 and April 2022, he was hit with two separate two-week bans, while a year later he was suspended for 10 weeks and fined after making comments to the league’s head of referees.

[Deraless]

Not a bother to Ronan , sure he can just wear a cap and noone will know he's there, even if the rest of the stadium is completely empty save for La Rochelle's "delegation".

[CIMANFOREVER]

Are we out yet?

[So It Is]

Are we out yet?

Still here.

We have taken all the learnings on board from the tom kite we have delivered over the last 12 months and are ready to put in a big performance for the fans . . . .


For the first 20mins anyway, afterwards we'll throw away the game as per.

MATTY REA ON THE BENCH.

Where is Sheridan.

[Jetstream]

Glasgow, Edinburgh and Connacht all getting beaten at half time. They all beat us. A bit ominous for tomorrow

[justinr73]

The Glasgow one is going to ruin my acca before it’s even got off the ground.

DOC making 1F sound diplomatic at half time in Galway.

Buckley and Bealham left in the sheds.

[Jetstream]

Everyone thinks DOC is great craic. I think he is a cross between an amádan and a cute hoór.
