Sloppy. Glasgow got away with it against the Bulls, but Toulon are more experienced and cannier outfit made them pay. Way too many rugby balls on the ground from poor passes. Also, in & around Toulon's 22 struggled to get go forward. Attacks got stagnated. Toulon deserved the win.

Goode is such a tosser. Without Finn Russell Bath isn't close in that game. He was easily the MOTM.

Northampton showed real signs of weakness v Castres and got away with it. Had big leads and kept allowing Castres back into the contest. Tonight, same but this time Bath had enough to get past them. As I said neither of these teams stands a chance v UBB or Toulouse.

Please stop saying TACO. We’re talking about an ungodly number of people who could die or maimed. It’s not time for cutesy little internet slang. We have to get away from this bizarre desensitization.

This result does not cover up an abysmal season. SE needs a pink slip. Edinburgh need to reset, rebuild. They have good young players, build around them.

McConnell, Thompson, Currie and Douglas cameo all excellent. Darcy was outstanding. Looks his old self.

Pierce is so poor. Douglas had by my count 3 clear turnovers. Pierce decided not bc reasons. Yes, Leinster win if Pierce wasn't such a biased muppet but it is beyond frustrating when he is not calling a turnover pen so obvious Douglas had to frame for him like it was a fucking work of art.

I know the game is over but how the fuck was that not a pen for Douglas on the jackel. I mean FFS FD was on that ball for nigh on 3 seconds. Unreal

Ed with inevitable fold but man not helped by Pierce having a shocker.

Ross Thompson having the game of his life. If Edinburgh can keep it close going into last 10-15 mins or so I suspect Leinster will get really tight. Cannot let Leinster score right after the half. Have to stay in it as long as they can.

That self-satisfied little prick just gave Leinster a jackal pen when the jackaler wasn't even on the ball. Add to the ridiculous pen on Gilko for "not rolling away." So tired of Refs favoring the supposed better team. Happened to Ospreys last night and ofc it being Leinster rinse repeat.

That "forward pass" in Ulster v Ospreys game was an awful call. If that happened to Glasgow I'd be furious. Ref called try, for it to be overturned that pass had to be 100% clearly forward. It was at best a marginal call & more likely flat. Nowhere enough to overturn call on field.

It is a win for Glasgow, however, they are still struggle in bad weather. When I saw the forecast, I feared the worst. Bulls are ready made to kick fest and up the jumper. Plus, Glasgow have to be more streetwise. If an easy 3 points gives you the lead in crappy weather? Fucking take it.

Bayliss is Scotland's best option at 6, change my mind.

Russell makes a game turning pass and ofc it barely gets notice.

AOC is having a great game for Sarries.

This just in: Owen Farrell is past his sell by date.

Refs call Gilko for 50/50 hands on the floor. Then right in front of him watches Stormers player with both hands on the floor and gives Stormers the pen. This is the sort of Reffing that drives me to distraction. No fucking consistency and it results in bad calls.

That is now 5 high balls that a decent kick chase would've competed for ... instead Edinburgh stood and watched. WTF

Again, that try was gifted via basic errors. Edinburgh look like a team that has zero confidence and f all effort level. I bet Darcy is praying a big team in France or Prem offers him a deal to escape the circus.

Edinburgh have to be the dumbest rugby team in the URC. So many basic schoolboy errors it is almost parody.

Ed's total lack of basics and want to, unreal. That is now 4 high balls they have all stood around and watched. Absolute joke.

Fergus Watson looked really good in pre-season. Surprised haven't seen him sooner, however, can't doubt Franco. Looks like another potential gem. In a position Scotland need an infusion of youth.

Glasgow putting Edinburgh to shame. Showing how good young talent can thrive in an environment built on trust and confidence.

Jones as well as he played for Scotland. He has not replicated that for Glasgow very often. McDowell been more consistent. Don't see a big drop off if any. Hastings still good 10 but replaceable. Lancaster improving every game/younger. Youngsters will come through. Glasgow will be fine. 2/2

On other site, w/Glasgow departures, ton of folks writing their epitaph. Dempsey is a big loss, no real getting around that. However, other losses I don't see as critical. Bhatti is more a depth loss & I suspect a youngster can replace him just fine. Jones feels a big loss but is it. 1/2

Gilchrist and Williamson I knew would be a fall off from Cummins/Brown. I didn't realize how big that fall off would be. Cummins does so many little things around the park. Busts mauls, challenges opp line out & pressures box kicks. Browns brings physicality & bite that Locks sorely lacked.

I would've been fine with England winning ...until that fucking blonde-haired numpty started gesturing towards the crowd. I get some like him, but that gesturing crap rubs me the wrong way.

France's discipline and defense have fallen apart the last two weeks. They need a better defensive coach. Yes, I said it.

Best England has played in attack in years. France did enough, barely.

Irish player catches & by the time he is tackled? A few meters outside the 22 and a few meters from where Russell mindlessly kicked it. Few phases later, try to Ireland. Game over. This team has no guts. Static rugby will not beat Ireland. Yet time & again Scotland cos played statues. 2/2

Nieve, cowardly performance. 26-21, Horne gets kick blocked, gets lucky. Ball bounces back to him, passes it to Russell. It was on, right there, that moment, it was on. Russell had players over. At very least they run it out & get better field position. Instead? Fucking braindead kick. 1/2

Ton of media & fans ready to give Menoncello the player of the 6Ns. Not so fast. He was mediocre in France game and against Ireland he was awful. In that Ireland game he had 5 bad passes. One of which likely cost Italy the win.

Menoncello might be the most talented center I've seen since Drico. Has to do it over a number of years, however, the signs are there. When Italy needed him most, he produced.

I realize this is sacrilege & would make myself included mad. However, here it goes. If RFU had any sense? Would fire Borthwick & offer Franco Smith the job. Smith's ability to develop young players is second to none. Look at Italy, Smith laid much of the groundwork there. Then Glasgow.

Congrats to Italy (they did not play that well). England are one of the most overrated bunch of players I can remember.

Both the Guardian and BBC no comment section for game. Likely something technical but it feels deliberate. If this was England comments would've been opened 20 minutes before game's end.

Just maybe Scotland winning in Cardiff was a better win than we thought. It seems have to be the kick up the backside this team has needed for years.

Scotland take notes. Get up in Ireland's face and especially McCloskey. McCloskey is not fleet of feet and needs room to get going. You take that away from him and he becomes much less impactful.

Ireland had some moments but overall much like Scotland last week: bang average. One reason why? Wales doubled up on McCloskey and pretty much took him out of the game.

Wales played with great heart and endeavor, however, their game management let them down badly. It ultimately cost them the game.

What the fuck are they doing? Kick the points!!! FFS That way have a chance to get kick off and tie the game.

That bounce could've been the game. Ireland got very lucky there.

Wales got f**ked there. That was a forward pass in lead up to try.

Forward passes not even reviewed? FFS

Happy to say I was wrong about Wales.

Take the fucking 3.

Wales need to take the points. Had they done so in first half and here, it is a 3-point game.

Fair play to Cardiff in earlier game but that was utter dross. As poor a game to watch as I can remember. Leinster's "depth" sure isn't what it used to be.

This notion running around of: "Wales should've won." Ignores number of chances Scotland totally butchered. Had Scotland taken half their chances that would've been a 3-score game. In minority here, don't this is some new dawn or green shoots for Wales. I just think Scotland were bad.
