Imagine reaching the playoffs of your "domestic" league and having to fly 8000 miles at a cost of over 2 grand for the privilege of watching the game? And yes, I am aware of NFL, but you can fly across the US and back for less than $300.

Scotland rugby great Scott Hastings dies at 61 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

Stormers’ flight back to South Africa has been delayed this morning because James Botham has followed them to Heathrow to keep tackling them and then Dan Thomas appears to steal their luggage. Relentless.

I would just like to set the record straight by confirming once and for all that Andrew Brace is the best referee in the world and anyone who claims I have ever said otherwise is LYING

On New Years 1990, the world was introduced to Mr Bean, now maybe the most famous comedy character of all time. Yet, this story started years earlier, on the home pitch of Racing 92. This is the crazy story of how French rugby's eternal underachievers created a comedy dynasty- youtu.be/m6683DwTjnM

Good to see.

Drop a fight scene you loved

There's a display in IKEA Glasgow showing how to turn a Billy bookcase into a sports memorabilia cabinet and, for reasons I've never been able to explain, it has a framed photo of Leigh Halfpenny in it. The sort of cut through Eddie Hearn could only dream of.

This should be the end of the debate.

You mean this guy wants to blame the French rather than the TMO? Huge ... it true.

I tell you what rugby needs to stop - repeating ill-informed bullshit. I’m looking at you, Mr Kitson.

Champions Cup : France Télévisions répond sur les images non montrées lors d'UBB-Bath

This just in from France Televisions' rugby editor, Cedric Beaudou to AFP: "The video referee is the master of what he wants to see, and nowadays he has access to every camera, every angle. Until he makes his decisions, we leave him to see what he wants to see" #ChampionsCup

The highpoint was them desperately arguing the fact it UBB lost the ball over the line, and then realising it was gonna be a YC for a Bath penalty in the lead up. Cry hard lads, Cry Harder

We gave it a bloody good crack but our European adventure comes to an end. Never thought we’d make it this far but winning back-to-back European away games and the win out in Stade Français is another tick in the box for this team’s gradual improvement. #SUFTMOG 💛🖤

How the F do these two useless oxygen thieves have jobs? I get they are going to pull for Bath but bias like this is not only unprofessional it races into farse. Yes, if a Ewells drags down maul 2 meters from line that is a yellow card all day. Goode especially absolute mess.

Genuinely conversation for whether this is the worst performance by a co-commentary team in rugby history

Dayglo not understanding “play the nine”. These morons are ruining this game .

Goode describing the facts hand, then arm, then saying it's irrelevant and then Dayglow banging on about "control" which hasn't been a concept for about five years

Considering some Premier Sports games I've watched with all Irish commentary over the years, I feel confident in saying that Andy Goode & Lawrence Dallaglio are delivering a masterclass in one eyed commentary right now. #BORBAT #UBBBAT #UBBvBAT #BORvBAT #InvestecChampionsCup

anyone buying the underwear Joe Marler is hawking needs putting down

Goode and Dallaglio having a rare old day of it

They have, genuinely, ruined a fantastic game of rugby. Broadcasters pay millions for these rights, and then are happy to let these fucking wasters actively make the product worse for no appreciable benefit? It’s absolutely unfathomable, purely from an economic perspective.

I might be wrong, but i think Andy Goode isn’t a fan of French television directors

Commentary on this game is basically Miles Harrison getting really excited about how great the game is then Goode & Dallagilo replying by tediously complaining about innocuous refereeing decisions and it pretty neatly sums up what rugby discourse and discussion has become over the last few years.

"clear neck roll by 19" Dayglow: "it's for sealing off"

Ben Whitehouse as TMO combined with French directors in charge of replays

“And Russell says to Henry Arundell ‘chase that’ “

“It’s not about what I think” says Laurence, with more self-awareness than is previously given him credit for

Can somebody please hand Andy Goode an everlasting gobstopper? Just please keep him quiet for the rest of the game. I'm begging. #BORBAT #UBBBAT #UBBvBAT #BORvBAT #InvestecChampionsCup

Hennessey simply has to be more involved for Wales over the summer - absolute class act.

Just seen the one with Marler. FML

Gotta love French tv directors winding up Fat Farage so easily

If they gave me the option between listening to the game with Andy Goode or having a man use a cheese grater on my ears for the full 80 minutes I'd ask what's the difference

Shut up Andy

WTF is Stockdale doing there?

That Step One pants advert is a fucking atrocity “Protect your Pollocks”

Ioane faking it for a card. No head contact.

NO HEAD CONTACT
