New years eve at home drinking nice wine and some funny liquers... Also an afternoon of Robert Shaw films: Battle of the Bulge, Force 10 from Navarone, now Jaws. Would want The Sting (great film, and with Redford) for the bonus point I think.

Was out, just watching back. That forward pass call on halftime was a dubious call, and shocking for its immediacy. What a stupid piece of protocol, or just poor execution by the ref. Just let the TMO call it, or not. #MUNvLEI

Dupont with a forward pass there for the BP try in the 79th minute. French TMO now confused. Given as forward. Vive la revolution! #LYOvTOU

Kinghorn 10 and Ramos 15 tonight in the absence of Ntamack, interestingly. Usually you'd expect the opposite.

Josh Brennan having a good run out for Toulouse tonight. He's got good hands and really doesn't look out of place in a Toulouse shirt. #LYOvTOU

Hope they don't go back for the forward pass. #OSPvMUN

Not sure about one player teams, but I think in a game of "2 car garage" you'd be hard pushed to beat Dupont + Sheehan. Maybe DDA would be in the mix.

Doesn't look great, probably yellow plus review. #PAUvNOR

Maybe refs should call "warning over" like advantage over.... #BATvMUN

Dayglo talking about intent there, lack thereof, with regard to the possible high tackle on Casey. Have I missed something about intent? #BATvMUN

Did the commentator just call Phil De Glanville, who played in the 1998 final, Tom's brother !!!!! Sorry don't want to talk about the rugby. #BATvMUN

Weather really not helping, already our lineout looking pressured. #BATvMUN

Nice reffing by Brace to stop quickly for the Leicester forward. When he restarts with LAR, please don't let LAR get a scrum pen, that would seem unfair given the circs. #LARvLEI

Why the hell do TMO checks largely get triggered by TV replays and commentators. Are they just watching the game on telly like the rest of us? Embarrassing. #SALvGLA

World Rugby not half as incompetent as we thought, releasing the Etzebeth decision the day before FIFA takes the spotlight.

I can think of no reasons at all, possibly even less than zero, why Scottish rugby fans seem to get the arse with Irish rugby. None at all. Nada. #RWC27 #QFHereWeCome

Re 3rd place finishers, presumably this is all about points difference, a dodgy concept that has been absent in recent tournaments. When key games are scheduled (Band 1/2), and approaches to resting players, could be a big passive factor for spots 13-16. Teams unhappy with teams in other groups?

Have Wales sent a delegation for the draw, or are they at home watching it on the internet like the rest of us, to save some beans.

Sad news that Robin Smith has passed away at only 62. Very fond memories of his aggressive batting against quick bowling in the early 90s, averaging 50+ for quite some time. His square cut was violent, in a good way! RIP

Hastoy given straight red after 34 secs for foot in face when reclaiming a high kick. Less clear than the Jordie one the other year. Latest random episode of WR remembering about player safety continues to catch out players. #PAUvLAR

Flying headbutt from Racing hooker direct into midriff of Toulouse player. Got to be straight red, he really Ryanned him. #TLSvRAC

Dupont warming up for Toulouse atm, just before half time v Racing. He's doing a little piece to camera with some loaves and fishes or something. #TLSvRAC

Regardless of the result, what a 2nd half non performance. Strong return by Stormers, but poor from us. #MUNvSTO

Stop the clock now, in case you go all TMO review and find something. #MUNvSTO

That's a great Stormers score. Bugger. #MUNvSTO

Started to go with 2 hands. No yellow. About right. #MUNvSTO

Ooh Jack that pass was delightful #MUNvSTO

Piardi surely going to have to warn them soon. #MUNvSTO

Tadhg Beirne throwing dummies now. He has more all court skills than almost all [forwards]. #MUNvSTO

Eben going to get 3 months for that. #WALvRSA

Crowley's better at that than Ntamack now. #IREvSA

Can you cite a TMO? For the SFM one, not the Ryan one. #IREvSA

No problem with calling Ryan for that. Still every problem with the SFM one. Zero consistency. #IREvSA

That's not even a yellow/review. Never wrapping, never legal. #IREvSA

Jeez - how old is big Schmeichel then !!!

Ange Capuozzo coming on as replacement scrum half? #TLSvTLN

Romain Ntamack giving a virtuoso all court performance in the first half. Running, tackling, offloading, scoring, not much tactical kicking (of note). #TLSvTLN

Now watching back Lions v Ulster. Rob Balacoune quite tidy for Ireland's 8th choice right winger. Gavin Coombes has sent him messages of support at this difficult time.

Not points. Corner, clock, dg. #MUNvCON

There should be a Nankivell law of motion. He is pure physics. #MUNvCON

Shane McCarthy looking very lively tonight! Connacht defence very strong, and disciplined. #MUNvCON

Connacht making the breakdown very messy. Fair play. #MUNvCON

Great to see John Hodnett back. How many bullets do you think you'd need to put in him to bring him down 🙂 #MUNvCON

Great try Munster. Half waiting for Piardi or the TMO to call it back for something anytime in the next 5 mins. #MUNvCON

UBB at least competing 2nd half thus far. The last TLS try was another stunning piece of execution, moving the ball quickly and neatly in almost no space. #TLSvUBB

I see Stuart Hogg has admitted retiring early to try to save his marriage, after abusing his estranged wife, was the biggest mistake of his life. Er, do you mean 2nd biggest Stuart, given the clue is in the question... Telegraph for details.

Dave Ribbans, class rugby player and seemingly decent human. Come on second half for Toulon and helped them look much stronger. Just stopped dead in his tracks as he was about to wipe out an injured opponent and 2 medics. No fuss, proper unit. #CLEvTOU

Zeebs, God love him, just about counts as a guest. Analyst or pundit would be stretching it... 🙂 #MUNvEDI

How on earth did we win that? No doubt Bradbury still chatting.... #MUNvEDI

Great maul defence !!!???? #MUNvEDI
