@RugbyTimes Really shows that you’ve watched just one game of his. I’m not even a Bristol fan and I know how talent Benhard is compared to other 12 in this league

A lot of the chat around Benhard Janse Van Rensburg walking to England’s midfield will surely quieten down now after last night’s humiliation for Bristol. Nowhere to be seen in the 52 mins he was on the pitch when they needed him to stand up. Just 2 carries.

@DarrenArsenal1 Were you part of the contract talks? No Stop trying to act like you’re in the know. You don’t know any of the players. You aren’t part of an inner circle of knowledge. Just stop

wasnt loved by me, i and a lot of others thought he was utterly average. and yes, when a player lies, which he has ill call it out, as i have done with every player who does it. They dont walk on water, and always try and engineer themselves when they stop playing to change a narrative. Happy you loved him, nice.

I see another former player who "didnt want to leave" coming out with absolute revisionism. Agent told the club he wanted £300k plus bonuses a week, or he wouldnt sign. So club said no, and withdrew the offer. But yeah, "i always wanted to stay, and couldnt undetstand why they withdrew the offer" Cup winner maybe, but also went missing in huge ammount of games and never deserving of anywhere close to what he wanted with his injury record (circumstances)

@TheRugbyIssue Still finishing bottom with that squad

Give them 1 more season, let’s see what this money can do. Some big signings are coming North! #NRB #PremRugby #NewcastleRedBulls

@roibtp33 @TightFive_Rugby Play the whole clip… then you’ll see why that wasn’t reviewed

@TightFive_Rugby Why this wasn’t review then ?

Throwing in my two cents here… The fact that a TV director has any, let alone a significant, influence on a semi-final in the greatest club competition in all of rugby is criminal. Not giving access to certain angles when the TMO is asking for them (according to Andy Goode who could hear them both) is inexcusable. And whether or not Bath would have won the game, it does have significant impact - the TV director has changed the game. It has needed looking at for a long time, hopefully this will actually lead to some sort of investigation…

@Davidpr52119342 @TightFive_Rugby Yes!!! Finally someone coming with the actual evidence from the game

@TightFive_Rugby The audio was played on the Amazon Prime feed; “I'm trying to take control of it from the angles, Director keep playing the angles please” “these are the only angles that the director is showing me”

@rugbyexpansion @TightFive_Rugby Do you really think they would say anything different?

@TightFive_Rugby A very important bit you’re missing, and is worth adding that the TV director has come out and said different. sudouest.fr/sport/rugby/bo…

@A_Dan_Rainbow Can you back up your claim of the ref cheating against saints with evidence please? I’ll be waiting

if a fly landed on the ball in the middle of a maul and it somehow benefitted the French team they would have it playing on loop for 5 minutes whilst play continued. However.. ref cheats for you vs saints… French broadcaster cheat against you next game. All is fair, balance.

Polarising stuff this. 1. Squid is right, it does make for terrible showing. 2. Goode is right, if people at the top don’t address the corruption what is the point? It’s been going on for some years now in France, without fail every year the TMO can’t get the footage….

@mangorugby Literally haven’t seen 1 person say Bordeaux weren’t the better team. All they are saying is they want consistency with the tv directors who disappeared when Alfie took 3 shots to the face but for Bordeaux some how manage to find loads of angles of baths incidents

Bath fans – rather than whining about the ref here’s why you *actually* lost 56% tackle success is one of the worst defensive stats I’ve ever seen from a major team

@grayve33 @RugbyVous 1998 look it up

@Paull1233 @RugbyVous Win a champions ocup....

So the English can’t handle losing still ✨

@scrumming_ten Barbeary hit in the head twice. I suppose you missed that as well?

Retired England internationals are the worst pundits on the planet Always whinging, making excuses and blaming the ref for any English team failing They can never lose with dignity and grace. It's no surpise that England have the worst fans in rugby

@thepaulwilliams You literally hear the tmo talking to the tv directors for different angles

@Caolan_Scully Clearly stated Bordeaux were the better team. You can’t deny the clear bias by the tv directors

Bath being ran from pillar to post, and comms would have you think it's refereeing that's the issue Same from a few Irish pundits after the game yesterday Incessant nonsense

@PeterD92737 @AndyGoode10 He clearly stated that it happened both ways, but it’s heavily biased which he stated and anyone can see. You can’t tell me you didn’t feel the tv directors were heavily biased?

French directors not giving us any angles on the head shot on Barbeary

@AndyGoode10 WRU need to step in. It’s a disgrace that you even need to think of independent tv directors

@RugbyInsideLine Independent tv directors are needed this has been disgraceful

🛁 Bad start for Bath, dream start for Bordeaux. The rain has gone and the sun come out at the worst time possible for them.
