Anyone watching Ospreys v Glasgow?

Good game....nasty looking ankle injury for Shaun Lamont.

Tom Issacs has been outstanding so far. Not sure who the spreys 9 is, but he is putting in the worst performance that I've ever seen from a pro player!....and I've watched lots of Chris Ashton!

Trebaldi is the nine, he's the Ospreys biggest signing of the last two years. He's shite. Thought the Ospreys kids did well against a far more experienced Glasgow side.

Watching Gloucester v Leicester... Glos have resorted to their third choice kicker (Twelvetrees) cos the others keep shanking it. 😆

Question for Wales V Oz tomorrow.

How long before AWJ gets his retaliation in on Stampy Horwill?

Burns missed a few.
Cook missed a few.
Thus 36.

Missed kicks lost the game for Glos.

Glos were lucky with their 2 soft tries

Billy used to kick for Leicester whilst Flood was away

Second soft try well executed mind. Jonny was signalling for it almost before the turnover.

What's happening with Gloucesters scrum, it used to be feared by other teams

Shouldn't crow, but after 36's comments about Sale it raises a smile to see him lose.

I was at Edinburgh v Connacht tonight at Murrayfield. An entertaining game, including an interception and try in one movement! Thing is, the crowd turnout was awful and I've heard this is the norm. It's possibly to do with it being £20 to get in... the same some tickets for the international a week ago went for!

AW J isnt that type of player. Infact the Wales team in recent years are pretty good at ignoring stuff, see how well Hibbard dealt with Louw. AW has already had his revenge in winning the series.

That Glos / Tigers game was a good one, couple of crazy interception tries etc.
The Glos pack really isn't fit for purpose is it? When even Sale can hump them around the pitch its saying something.
Tigers looked steady up front and it was always going to be that way in a war of attrition. Having said that, if Glos could kick some goals they would have been out of sight.
Great pic of Freddy Burns looking destroyed in the changing room last night, got to wonder what its doing to the teams heads..

Off to see Stade Francais v Toulon later. Seems Toulon are resting lots of players ahead of H Cup next weekend, none of the English contingent are in the squad (Wilkinson, Armitage brothers, Stevens) Giteau and Botha are on the bench. Michelak plays 10 and Habana starts. Moyne Steyn is on the bench for Stade (first game I think), lot of internationals on show - all the French contingent are playing and a bit if an SA reunion. Perhaps Toulon think this is enough to beat an out of sorts Stade whilst saving players for first H Cup match.

I knew there was a reason I didn't like you 😆

Don't you mean Sheridan not Stevens? Surely Fatty Stevens doesn't play for Toulon?

Glaws scrum not been right this season and it was also a combo of little bits of everything - set piece in general/mistakes/game management. What's worrying is scrum aside that was the poorest tigers team I've seen for a while. 36 had a good game, defence sometimes good, and the backs did a bit with poor ball, but I'd not say we are a step away from things clicking as suggested in match report.

Less said about Toulon today the better - Michelak was very poor missed some easy kicks and Stade just kept scoring. Resting so many players backfired.

Great start by Wales - perfect antidote.

They're going to need a biggar bin!

Terrific game of rugby. Cooper is properly up for it, which does bode well.

Aussies looking good now. Big hits from North and Hibbard though.

Good half of rugby.

Really liking Justin Marshall's commentary, proper enthusiasm for the game.

Hooper owns the breakdown at the moment. Liking the niggle.

What a great half. Cooper is havng a special day. Hibbard trying to give Youngs a run for his money for "worst line out throwing".

Come on Wales, you need to break this duck.

Aus playing better than I've seen in ages. Really attacking. Wales too but Aus look like they have the individual skill going forward.

Their game plan seems to be 'smash it' hence the attacking play and all the mistakes..

Quite some niggle between Phillips and Cooper after Phillips deliberately stamped on Cooper's hand. Right in front of the ref too. I say ref, I mean Barnes, trying his best to ruin the game.
Fun so far though!
I have [i]never[/i] seen Cooper play so well!

wales have fallen over slightly. I hope they get it back.
Even I thought that was forward.

Like that from Barnes - he didn't need the TMO. Poor from the crowd to boo the kick. Wales look toast here.
