    You have to feel for libbok, he must work so hard on his placekicking and its just not for him.

    Everything else he does is top class but you can be a 10 and miss as many kicks

    Smart from La Rochelle to run down those 3 or 4 mins at the scrum, did well to hold their nerve but I expect the Stormers will be disappointed that the ref wasn’t a bit firmer with La Rochelle at that stage.

    Will be tough for LAR to travel back to Europe for a QF in a week’s time after a tough game today, but they’re probably the one team you’d back to do it.

    Stormers are one of the best counter attacking sides around. There aren't many other teams that can score the kind of trys from they do. The combination of speed and footwork really took the La Rochelle power game out of the equation in the final 15 minutes.

    But the French side won anyway. I think this was the best chance for someone to get rid of La Rochelle before the final. They're incredibly hard to beat trying to play contact heavy, multi-phase rugby which most teams do.

    If we end up playing LAR next weekend I hope we get a stronger ref than Carley was today. The French hooker should have been penalised in that closing set for deliberately wasting time. The first time should have been a penalty, and the second time should have been a card for him.

    But cynicism won out in the end.

    They can't get closer than that to being knocked out unless they actually do.

    I'd see Leinster do it next week presuming they win later unless they pick up further significant injuries. LAR were struggling for a decent portion of that match against that Stormers side with a huge number of injuries and continuously shooting themselves in both feet with pointless penalties. It was a incredibly physical game and LAR now have to face a day on a plane while trying to recover.

    Unless a different LAR side show up than we've seen for most of the competition I think their luck runs out next week and they go out.

    oTB is unbearable anyway.
    the constant circle jerk they go on with to fill airtime is awful stuff

    For all the credit Skelton should get for protecting guys who are knocked out, at some stage a ref or TMO has to call him out for throwing his full bodyweight on players who are near the ruck. He did it a few times today and one of them was a clear attempt to take out Libbok

    The one side that can trouble Leinster and dont fear them is LAR.

    Next week will go a long way to deciding the team that lifts the trophy

    Them going behind a paywall was an absolute godsend.

    Took any interest in listening to them when I ran out of other podcasts. They manage to make what could be interesting terrible.

    Bordeaux vs Saracens is very entertaining. 0-0 after 25 minutes, but some good attacking play and excellent defence from Bordeaux. They're counter-rucking ball superbly.

    other than the over the top celebrations at the smallest thing Ben Earl is a savage rugby player and great to watch.
