Some of us have played the game and some of us haven’t, imagine being a Bath fan seeing the lack of replays and for blatant yellow cards. My job is to say what I see, your job is to sit in your Mum’s basement and watch

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

@CharlesRTel Charles-did you reveal yourself in the "Alas Leinster held on"? That of course is your perogative but it does add some validity to Leo Cullens(ill judged-but with some merit)rant post game. As a Leinster fan(&Telegraph subscriber)I wish he hadn't. Same for you though

@wattsy1114 Romanian prop, Petru Balan. Maybe you’re thinking of Marius Tincu, the hooker at Perpignan? Biarritz’s No 8 was Thomas Lièvremont but then when he retired Harinordoquy moved there and Thierry Dusautoir came onto the flank.

Great walk down memory lane, this. That Biarritz side easily in the top five Euro teams ever. Dimitri Yachvili one of the great scrum-halves, playing behind a brutish pack, and some of the most elegant, underrated backs. Philippe Bidabé a total gun. thetimes.com/sport/rugby-un…

@gallagherbren58 I think there have been better scrum-halves (although that's a corner I'm also happy to fight) but I'm not sure I've seen any play wet weather as well as him.

@CharlesRTel Yachvili was brilliant Gave an absolute masterclass in Dublin one time for France in the wind and rain. Shortened his pass to his 10 to abt 6-8 yards but basically played pick and go with his pack for 80 mins. Didn't fumble once, kicked flawlessly. Didn't even raise a sweat

Bordeaux and Toulouse both lost at home in the @top14rugby this weekend. The last time that happened was in round 20 of the 2020/21 season, on March 27. Toulouse fell to Montpellier while La Rochelle won in Bordeaux. Boris Johnson was still PM. Mad.

In this week's Substack - went back through Leicester Fainga'anuku's first start at flanker for the Crusaders, as the All Blacks potentially unearthed a quality hybrid option. Interesting tactical wrinkles and moments of class, like this tackle. Read: theofffieldreview.substack.com/p/analysis-lei…

If you have Premier Sports, you might want to flick the Top 14 on right now. Toulouse are 21-0 up against Clermont after 11 minutes and have just scored the try of the season.

@CharlesRTel How are they going to fit that in? The SH nations aren't going to want to give up their cash cow so who loses out?

@DJMcCrumments Both. I speak French and have lived there and the south of France is far more removed culturally (in a good way!) from the UK and (less so) Ireland than the east coast of Oz.

@akabobbysmiles Ou, pour que ce soit juste, les matchs au milieu de la semaine pourraient être contre les six meilleures équipes du classement du Top 14 de cette saison-là?
