di no one tell him this Anglo-Welsh thing was for certificates only?

So the Tigers have elected to go with the bloke coaching the Reds backline..?

@Stargazer Don't know exactly, but I read somewhere that it was his third concussion this season and thus been sat down. So seems it is three strikes and you are out? Reasonable, probably two would suffice if they are in a short span.

Great game at the RDS in the sunshine. Leinster just pip Cardiff to the win 22-21 and puts them back on top of the table.
Hayden Triggs is a warrior player given the year he and his family have had. Should get a big farewell in the last home game of the season.

Glasgow up 10-5 in a free running against Connacht at Scotstoun.
A bit harem scarem as both sides throwing the ball around and the offside line being ignored with two rush defences.

This is hilarious!

This is what happens when two teams refuse to engage with each other.

Why blow the whistle?
How moronic of the team with the ball.

200 year old Sean Lamont defying the critics and scoring a sensational try. What a guy.

La Rochelle really is the surprise package this season. Leading the Top 14 table, and now through to the European Challenge Cup semis (for the first time). I wonder how much that is due to having Victor Vito in the team; because Top 14 games are not televised in NZ, I've only watched a limited number of Top 14 games online, so I can't possibly tell.
-
Anyone else watching Leinster vs Wasps? Kurtley Beale with an absolutely scintillating break to put Le Roux away - who dropped it over the line. Otherwise Leinster a class above so far, just steamrolling what is currently the top side of the English championship. Cipriani has been woeful for Wasps.
-
@Billy-Tell Bad stuff up from Le Roux.
As a Tahs fan, I'm thrilled Beale is coming back.
-
Good game from Leinster with their young team starting to make waves. They'll be away in France against Clermont or Toulon for the semis which may be a step too far for them this season, but top of the league and one game away from the European final is a good place to be after their horror show last year.

Great win from Saracens. Gutsy effort from the Glasgow Warriors not reflected in the score, but they were in it for most of the first half; lost it in the second. Saracens 38 - 13 Glasgow (HT 14-3)
Excellent win from Clermont over Toulon! Toulon had nothing on attack. It looked to become a low scoring game, but Clermont dominated most of it and were finally rewarded with a couple of good tries. 29-9 to the yellow and blues (HT 6-6).
Semi-finals: Clermont v Leinster in Lyon and Munster v Saracens in Dublin.

I find French rugby quite puke to watch. It always seem to be about brawn in the forwards and garyowens/boxkicks in the backs. Lyon is not too far from where I live, might have to go support Leinster.

Sarries look pretty unstoppable at home at the moment. Score was a fair reflection of the game for me, especially give they had 3/4 tries called back by the TMO. Actually pretty decent to watch these days. Lots of go forward, managed to engineer plenty of holes in the Glasgow defence with Farrell having a decent game pulling the strings at 10. That said, Munster in Dublin will be a much harder test and could go either way.
Complete opposite from Wasps yesterday, who definitely have a weak underbelly despite the galacticos they've assembled. Well beaten by a good Leinster team.
