    Shame, a devastating player capable of turning a game. Still, he’s 34 so he got a fair crack of the whip.

    Yes agree Wrecker, a class player.

    Shame about Byrne he was right up with the best 15’s inbthe world for a while. If 1/2p was 1/2 as good at hitting the line at pace and picking angles of running he’d be the best in the world.

    MotM for Burgess tonight, topped off with a try from the back of a driving maul! Looked far more comfortable as a 6 and Bath used him as a dummy runner very effectively, taking 2 defenders out the game every time.

    If you’re an Ulster fan. It was one sided, with Leinster being unable to catch a pass, develop an attack or indeed do anything to threaten Ulster. Not the greatest match for the neutral.

    I guess it was a good match if you posted in the first 15 minutes or so.

    Yes Jon I posted at the start before the heavens opened. Still the best performance all year from Ulster.

    Whats the story with that ineligible player? Good job Welsh have been so poor or they could have been in serious trouble.

    😆 It really did have the potential to be an entertaining match, didn’t it. And then…….rain, Ulster dominance and Leinster knock-ons.

    I couldn’t decide who I wanted to win – a win for either team affects the Ospreys.

    Had an offer of a corporate box at Glaws this weekend. Gutted, as the Wife hd already booked a girls weekend away.

    Ospreys dire so far. Not even sure if captain Sam is even playing for the Blues!

    Oh he is darcy. Good game of rugby and a good win for bris, who rested 10 first choice players for the game.
    That’s wuss beaten home and away and a top place finish for us!

    I was chatting to a young female wuss supporter, and Mr Henson walked past. She nearly had a breakdown!
    It’s a good job I’m not that good looking, I’d be in a lot of trouble………

    Weird game at Gloucester, how they won that I will never know but they did. Twelve trees was shocking but scored two tries.

    In the North stand at Sixways with junior and having some good banter with some brizzle lads behind us. They pointed along the row when asked where the 1stXV team were. Tried to explain to Jr who the pretty one was 😉

    Not a bad game given it was a reserves match. Bring on the play off finals I say. And Bristol can spend another year practicing in the championship…

    But Mr stoner, it was only a reserves match from the bristol side. I was informed that it was pretty much Worcestershire first XV! Henso, maule etc would haven orin that game to pieces!
    Counts for nothing though. Winning the league is nice but will count for nada. The play offs are the only thing that matters. I look forward to another visit in the finals. Give me a shout if you’re going a_a and I’ll buy you a few beers.

    Clermont fans are here in numbers and have to fancy them on form by Toulon know how to get the job done. Hoping for an excellent game. Plenty of Leinster, Munster, Saracens and Leicester shirts too.

    Stadium looks half full. Should have played last nights final there instead lol

    Yes I’d say 2/3rds full at most, almost all top tier empty except East upper. Sold my mates unused tickets for 60% of face.

    Anyone else notice they fired off Clermont colours for the presentation ceremony – oops

    Toulon just too good, Clermont gave it a good go but their early pressure yielded too little, Mitchell’s try was quite special but a defensive coaches nightmare. Abendenon was nearly a hero getting his side back to within a point

    Who goes to a cup final involving two French teams and sings Swing Low?

    Agreed ridiculous and sung whilst a Welshman was taking a kick at goal ! Personally I was hoping to sing the Marseilles, seemed a unique opportunity to do so at Twickenham. I had to restrict myself to the lyrically challenging “Allez allez, allez allez, allez allez les Toulonaise”

    @aa BBC reporting the move must be approved by Racing as he’s under contract till June 2016, might not be a formality ?

    Adam Jones “brother” retires. Was a real Wales and Ospreys great. Good luck to him.

    I was at the Gloucester v Edinburgh game on Friday night – couldn’t argue with the result as the better team won. Seemed a pretty good crowd at that game.

    Roberts to Quims confirmed.

    Seems a like a bit of a weird move but I guess the money is good.

    In other news, it seems there is a slim chance De Villiers may may the WC. Sounds like his body is gaffa taped together more than Martyn Williams or BOD is! 😯 😆

    The 34-year-old said surgeons literally ran out of spare body parts to fix the ligaments in his knees after previous problems.

    “I’ve had six knee ops and what they usually do if you’ve got an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) rupture is either take your hamstring or quad tendon and use that as a graft to put into the ligament. In my case, my hamstring tendon was used already, so was my quad tendon,” De Villiers explained.

    “The other side’s hamstring tendon was also used as well. The PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) was also off, so they took artificial ligaments and put that in the ACL and PCL.

    “I tore my ACL, PCL, MCL (medial collateral ligament), had a Patella dislocation and a hamstring (tear)… but the rest was fine.”

    Ha, he does doesn’t he! Same build, looks and aggression, it seems. I held the door open for his dad to walk into Starbucks a few months ago. (Next to the Liberty Stadium). I’d swear he just gave me the same glare as he used to when on the pitch. He was a good player after coming back from league.

    On way to AJ Bell for the last him game of the season & Mark Cueto’s last home game before retiring.
    14 seasons at one club, we’ll not see that again I reckon.

    Anyone watch the Quins – Bath game last night? Ugo Monye is still in sparkling form even though he’s retiring. Another one club player.

    George Clancy was on his normal sparkling form as well. 🙄 😆
