I didn't see it, but how many ****ing pricks are in the Toulon team? Hmm...

7-6 at half-time!

Buer

Sexton hits post with drop to go ahead on half time. Looks an interesting game and anyone's to win.

pc7

Wish there had of been a few more minutes in that half, Racing were getting a bit of momentum

Emperor1989

Bad miss by Sexton there, no real pressure on the kick.

Exciting second half

thomond2006

13-6 with 25 to go

Kiwi_knock

Lovely drop goal by Wilkinson. That should be Toulon in the final. 16-6 to Toulon with 8 mins left.

Buer

Throwing to the tail on opposition line? Utter madness.

Tox56

Well looks like that's it for Racing

Will be good from an Irish POV for Sexton to get a rest before the summer tour (if he's going)

Kiwi_knock

Well that ends it for Racing. 5 mins left and Toulon have the ball.

Kiwi_knock

Toulon win 16-6. Well deserved win. The double is still on.

O'Gara and Labit being investigated for their "touchline actions"

Didn't see the game, so dunno what they got up to.

That was another game, I think.

Yeah that was for the Toulouse match, abusing the fourth official.

I watched that game, I didn't see it!

I'm a grown man & Godzi....I mean Gorgodze scares the living bejaysus out of me.

ALLEZ MONTPELLIER !!! !!!!

matthew8

How has this looked so far?

matthew8

Fecking stupid by Gorgodze.

irishbucsfan

It's so cringey when commentators talk up kickers as if they never miss a thing.

matthew8

Try for Castres. Going to be extremely hard to come back now.

Ahem.

matthew8

What a try! They hit right back.

irishbucsfan

Lovely from Montpellier. Olivier is such a balanced runner, reminds me of D'Arcy.

vienne86

Oh WOW - great try for Montpellier.

irishbucsfan

Great tackle! Evans will be disappointed there...

matthew8

High tackle surely? That was awful by Monty, really got away with one there.

vienne86

Entertaining game this - on a knife edge. Montpellier unlucky not to get a try on half time there.

iroced

Castres show their experience at this level. They manage their game much better than we do. The last action before HT is crazy at this level :eek:. Our line-out is terrible. Fortunately our scrum is not too bad. And our backs showed moments of brilliance. Gorgodze is having a stinker. Far. Far from his best season before leaving...

Being only down 3 pts at half time is somehow a miracle.

thomond2006

19-19 with two minutes left

matthew8

Extra time! Come on Monty.

thomond2006

Tales misses a straight forward DG outside the 22 to win it. Extra-time!

Journeyman_1

How long is extra time? Must be pretty tough on the players... give everything for 80, and then be asked to go out and continue playing for at least 15-20 mins?

Twice 10 mins.


Frustrating game for us. Castres seem to be doing nothing but still manage to get an opportunity to win it at the last min. Fortunately they missed it.

thomond2006

Nearly one of the tries of the season from Lamerat after some brilliant hands in the buildup.

thomond2006

DG from Bai puts Castres 22-19 at the break. It came from a brilliant catch by Dulin of his own garryowen.

matthew8

The corner!

thomond2006

Wow big call there by Montpellier. It cost Munster...

matthew8

And now a scrum 5.

matthew8

They blow it.

matthew8

There was a hand in that scrum. Should've been a penalty to Mont.

Journeyman_1

The intensity after nearly 100 mins of rugby is amazing. I just turned it on, has it been like this all game?

matthew8

Full time.

thomond2006

Game over. Can't believe Montpellier went for the corner.

Same final as last year so!

Castres win 2 away play off games in a row, i hope they win it.

That game was at a neutral venue.
