    Mental. No one saw that one coming when Exeter got their sixth try. ..

    Copeland has been excellent

    Don't know why I listened to people on here saying that Cardiff might be good this year.

    It's the same shít year in, year out...capable of putting a bit of a run together when they're bothered but consistently, their big players don't give a fcuk about the games, and put in an absolutely disgraceful level of commitment/effort. Last year, the likes of Warburton, Roberts, Cuthbert, Davies were embarrassingly bad for the most part.

    Also, this is a local rivalry of sorts. Probably only 22 miles as the crow flies from Sandy Park to Cardiff.

    Any closer rugby rivalries (from different countries) spring to mind?

    Bonkers...through the looking glass time...Exeter basically had a mental breakdown on realising they were 38 points up and imploded for 30 mins...

    The Exeter chant is daft, sounds like a load of guys trying to sing but who are too hammered to actually form the words. :pac:

    Cardiff v Gloucester or Bath would be pretty close too.

    Glasgow 17 points down after 17 minutes without putting a foot wrong really.

    Toulon just fantastically clinical so far.

    Johnny's off.

    This could be a 60 point game.

    Well with Freddie on it could either be Toulon by 60 or Glasgow by 3. You never know....

    Ye wa?

    I'll be quite happy if Ulster come nowhere near that Toulon team this year! Someone else can knock them out for us! :pac:

    I would absolutely love to see Leinster get Toulon in a HEC SF in the Aviva.
    Get BOD and Leo in there, 90% of our players fit and it'd be some game.

    Same for Munster in Thomond or Ulster in Ravers.

    All great playing globetrotting rugby against Glasgow in the sun, but put them into a dogfight and it's a different story.

    Long, long way to go for that though!

    Nah, the most was Biarritz with 29 in 2007 with 29 I think. Wasn't long before that when it was 2 points for a win etc.

    Negative. Closest ever was Biarritz in 2006/07 with their obscenely easy pool of Northampton, Borders and Parma. That was the year Northampton were relegated (and actually qualified as a runner up and knocked out Biarritz in the QF unbelievably).
