Great work by Glasgow, it's good to see them build on their success of the last few years.

There must be a way for Toulon and Saracens to both lose. For the good of the game.

what wrong with Saracens?

strawberry floating Leinster again :evil:

Ref was bloody inconsistant all night, pinged Bowe for hanging on to a Leinster guy at ruck time yet Leinster did the same at every single ruck! And the Payne incident on the try line was ridiculous.

I thought Ulster got reffed out of it in the second half too. Leinster only seemed to want to play for 5 minute periods here and there. What the strawberry float was D'Arcy doing for that entire game?!

That being said, as a Munster fan, I kinda wanted Leinster to win to give the Great Man a shot in the final. Shame it couldn't be against us :cry:

Anyone watching the saints destroy Saracens this afternoon?

PostRe: Rugby Union by **Return_of_the_STAR** » Sat May 31, 2014 4:29 pm

Idiot ref that pass was a mile forward. Why didnt u send it for a review?

Hold on the television official has advised th ref to review it. It's all kicking off.

PostRe: Rugby Union by **Return_of_the_STAR** » Sat May 31, 2014 4:30 pm

Yes no try. Ref is awesome now 8-)

Get in. Kings of England.

Just hopped on the BBC website to check the score, and I see this:

Owen Farrell injured celebrating a disallowed try

Classic.

It was hilarious to watch. He kicked the ball away after he thought he scored and pulled a muscle. The ref gave it but the the television match official told him that he should send it for review. Disallowed for a forward pass.

Can't wait to see those highlights. :lol:

Shame I seem to have been the only one who watched it live. It was a fantastic match. So close throughout and then for saints to score a try with the last attack, after a 4 min long view review as you really couldn't see what happened with the ball. Amazing.

PostRe: Rugby Union by **Kanbei** » Sat May 31, 2014 6:46 pm

Watched the 2nd half and extra time, was a cracking match. Now watching the Pro12 final, BOD had to go off injured after 10 minutes in his final match

PostRe: Rugby Union by **Mini E** » Sat May 31, 2014 6:49 pm

What a match that was! So pleased for saints!

PostRe: Rugby Union by **FlippinChicken** » Sat May 31, 2014 7:06 pm

I'm in a glass case of emotion over BOD leaving this game early. :cry:

I need an hour of mourning before warming up the Wilko hype-train.

PostRe: Rugby Union by **Scotticus Erroticus** » Sat May 31, 2014 7:37 pm

BOD has been a gift to rugby, a true special player that will be missed.

if glasgow can get their backs in play they'll win this. Hasn't happened so far, Leinster seem to have the better of us. One chance at their back line and we'll score.
