Freddie Burns, everything he touched turned to shit then he misses an easy kick to win it and then drops the ball over the line celebrating early. What a ****!

And they’ve got Priestland as well. God help them.
Priestland wont know what to do if he's not the main scape goat!!
Edinburgh with a battling losing bonus point and had chances to win the game - which they blew in cackhanded marrer
Not the cuffing I feared
An away win would have been nice but great defence at the end by Munster to get the draw at Exeter. I should think they'll be easy pickings, as premiership clubs normally are, at Thomond Park. Heart in mouth stuff when Carbery hardly tickled the clearance from around his 22ish and it still bounced over the dead ball line to gift Exeter a chance to win it at the death.
Here's some terribly boring stuff from a prop who plays for Leinster.

Gutted
And Ulster put another premiership club to the sword.
To be fair, it was only Leicester. I think it's about time for some suggested rule changes to the ECC from the English Premiership. Or is it too soon for that?
We’ve done ok in the Challenge Cup. Maybe that’s the English level?
The worry is the lack of shots fired by either Wasps or Tigers given that they contain the likes of Daly, Ford, Youngs etc. Looks like another shit year for us in Europe / 6N. Joy.
Taking Burns off just after that felt cruel.
Thinking about it, the English teams are pretty much the new version of the Italian teams of old; a guaranteed four points and more than. Likely five points!
Stade Français 27 - 38 Wuss
Stoner is going to be even more insufferable.
Once he's finished spooning with hunky bears in the woods, that is.
How this wasnt a pen at the very least I have no idea.
What offence? You are allowed to try to charge down kicks and he was in the air as the ball was kicked
Too good not to nick and post.
What offence?
Elbow to face.
Late, committing to a late tackle early doesnt make it on time.
I fear mindmap3 has a point. If they are not banned or injured, most of the rest of the England elect are playing terrible Rugby. Leicesters mess yesterday was a nightmare. that Tuilagi score was luck IMO, he didn’t look fast or fit in the slightest.
I must say I’m less confident of the Autumn internationals and 6N being any kind of RWC prelude than ever before.
Good to see some “unknowns” putting in massive efforts and some good Rugby though!
Not to worry the Irish are going great!! Potentially second favs for world cup...play a lot of one out bosh, low risk rugby but they are bloody effective. The fact that Beirne isnt a certainty for the match day squad let alone starting 15 says it all. I thought the Carbery was excellent for Munster yesterday too.
Wales look pretty well placed but lack the carriers in their pack to compete at the top table. At least George has had his talentectomy reversed...shame Biggar is getting it now.
Scarlets did OK yesterday but losing Bierne and Barclay as well as Shingler and Davies getting broke has weakened them. The team is set up to attack iff turnovers and without Barclay, Bierne and Davies they dont get many.
Bloody good result for Worcester last night away from home against the team second in the Top 14. They also managed to back up last weeks performance which is something that they’ve struggled with in the past.
Away win for Cardiff v Lyon..excellent stuff!!!
Mindmap, even more pleasing was that win was with a completely different 15 to the Bristol roasting. Shillcock was put injured last weekend and he came to see the my lads playing in the landrover cup. Came off the bench on Friday at 68' and scored. Great stuff.
Reffing this weekend ha been a bit.... Variable ..
Itoje. Bit of a dick.
Big Ian Wright on radio Scotland not impressed with the ref or lack of carding.
Not suprised, Salaries getting everything. Itoje is a complete cockbag as well.
Peter Wright.
Great game the Glasgow / Sarries. I thought the Sarries defence was fantastic and they hung on as they tired. Should Glasgow have kicked for the sticks?
I only caught the last 20 - whats happened to the Vunipola’s? Don’t tell me they’re injured...
whats happened to the Vunipola’s
Poorly calf for Mako, poorly arm for Billy.
Wow I'm 30 mins into the Glasgow game and sarries should be one man down already.
Its a cracker of a game
Who did the Ospreys play? Never heard of them.
mate had a great time at Gloucester, Banahan was playing at 8 and lock at times due to so many injuries.
Who did the Ospreys play? Never heard of them.
Pau wasnt it...pretty well known team.
Dregs played the Timarasu Dragons or something, no idea who they are but some bloke called Umaga scored a try!!!
Davies tackles ball carrier, maybe ref should have had a second look before giving a pen try and binning Davies!!
Big result for Newcastle sneaking past Toulon who stupidly didn’t take the three points on offer at the end.
Big result for Newcastle
Huge, really pleased for Boudjellal
getting really fedup of prem/euro refs allowing defenders off their feet at the ruck. It's killing the competition at the breakdown. Sarries diving in like loons all match.

Yep. But they're certainly not the only ones.
I was watching games this weekend thinking that the french and english teams emphasis on size is leading them to tire badly v the pro14 teams. Leinster smashed Wasps. Ulster beat Leicester. Munster seemed to keep running better than the massive Exeter pack, whilst Sarries visibly wilted but managed to hang on. Meanwhile Cardiff played with 3 7's in the backrow and held out over the huge Lyon pack. In addition how can Olly Robinson not get in a Premier team and could he do a job for England.
Oh Pau, why were the Ospreys calling them Section Paloise Béarn Pyrénées on Facebook?

That is their full name, many French clubs have long full names.
Everyday is a school day 😀
Farrell has a knock, Itoje and George with broken noses. I guess they’ll be ok, but blimey England are being decimated.
Still, Cips is playing well...
Billy has hurt the other arm, hopefully it’s just a bang and will sort itself out quickly. If not Jones will probably play the unstoppable Robshaw at eight given that Hughes will be banned and Simmonds is bust.
Billy V has broken his left arm now and is out for 12 weeks...
We have no No8’s in the squad now...will Jones swallow his pride and recal Morgan or will he go with Mercer or just play one of his favs out of position?
