Come on Muunster you mean, Ozy. Surely youre not putting your own pocket ahead of what's best for Ireland?!
that could have ended very badly, don't think there was any malice
I don't think that's even a pen RW
Murray is blocking, should be a pen to Sarries.

Sorry. Didn't realise Murray got in the way
Yep my bad. Looked worse on first view. Agree it should be a Sarries pen, just saw Zebo being flipped real time but it was his own man!
Would sum up Connor Murray if he managed to cause a serious injury to his own player, that really is dangerous.
Ireland and England shout set up an exchange system. Irish back rows for English scrum halves
Downey totally took someone out of it off the ball by that replay
I think Kelly Brown and James Downey had a right go at each other. Not sure who started it, went from a small shove to a wrestling match despite both of them chasing a kick through.
High spirits I reckon!

Sorry it was Laulala. This is fantastic entertainment!!
17-0 to Toulon in their game.
Think they've had 2 tries ruled out as well.

Good decision by RW to not back Toulon then 
Sarries a bit too naive in attack aren't they? Tomkins tries to drift too often and Farrell's passing isn't clever enough. I think the quicker they realise that Farrell is a 12 and stop pretending he is a 10 the better.
Simon Shaw is on and just blew good position by grabbing a man in the line-out. There is no end to that man's buffoonery.
ridiculous from Farrell...penalty should be turned around there
Some great quality rugby from Toulon that half. Sale have done well to keep it 17-0
Thought that was a bad decision, first two Sarries players off their feet
This game could break records for "niggle". Been something going on at every play.
Should be a clearMunster pen on the replay, Sarries piled off their feet
Look how quick Rhys Gill reacted to try to get involved in a fight! Quickest he's ever moved 
Fooking officials are blind too, a mile away from where the offcence took place
I'm on Sarries HT FT, Farrell you coont!

Lovely half of rugby. Couple of tries, more scraps than we had in the boxing last night, neither team fully legal at any ruck or even in open play, as much passion as you could hope to see.
And it's 10-10, which would be an excellent full-time result please Santa.

toulon up 17-0, could be 34-0 by all accounts though.
Thanks mickey up a few quid on the racing so not the worst day to take it. Really enjoying this game regardless, hopefully more of the same second half. Suspect Sarries will grind it out in the end though. Munster had very little sustained pressure and got a try through an intercept...
Ok, time to bet like a man. Having a good punt on Saracens at around 1.7
Sale playing really well to keep score down - and also helping hand from TMO - of three decisions I would say one was a certain try, possibly two
That's what I heard sportspreader. I should have started a thread at the start of the year about baffling video ref decisions, we would be up to 100 by now.
I'll probably regret it (usually do when I go against Munster!) but just watching back the highlights i think Munster were under a lot of pressure and can't see them holding out like they did in the first half. Letting the head rule the heart for once, will see how we go!
I agree, if the second half is anything like the first Sarries should get the win. They never make things easy though, probably the one team in the world you could back on the 1-5 winning margins every week and make a profit.
Err, if Zebo touches that it's a yellow card isn't it?
Shocker from the ref, can't be anything other than a deliberate knock-on. In fact it should have been play on as well.

Owen "Average" Farrell costing Saracens the game again this week
Lancaster said that Farrell's earlier performances justified his later selection, but how long does that last for? Until spring? At this rate he will start at 10 for England in February despite being miles behind Burns on form all season.
Although I still prefer him to Flood.

Simon Shaw binned for Toulon. Is he the world's greatest penalty-machine?
31-0

Steffon Armitage scores. Amazed he can still keep up with play at this late stage.....
38-0

Was just thinking RM how the French team are struggling with the superior fitness of the English
i thought law was if a man goes down to collect a ball on the floor the tackler has to let the man get back on his feet. if so should have been a pen to munster there in the corner against ashton
Munster deswrved to get punished there. I cannot understand these teams in the scrum fooking about. When u have the ball play it instead of trying to sneak an extra yrd.
not fit enough to play for England but still fit enough to be best foreign player in France
You are correct setup. The question is always how long a ref allows the player to lay there as he is supposed to get to his feet straight away - Zebo didn't, but then how much chance was he given? A lot of grey area in that law.
I think toulon have scored twice with Shaw in the bin. Anyone see a pattern there
Toulon just bombed one that would have made it 50. Armitage is having a field day out there.
Doesn't matter, Toulon have scored again. Done the overs entirely on their own.
Barnes ur a **** of a commentator. You're suppose to be neutral
God alive, that's a harsh yellow isn't it? Penalty yes, but a card? Especially as Zebo prevented a try with a deliberate knock-on and wasn't punished.
That's the best passage of defensive play we've seen in the comp this season. Top notch
Don't think Munster deserved anything there. Sealing off and playing on the ground to keep that play going, but still not making a yard.
Wish they would win a pen sooner or later though.

At least we know munster are happy with the draw and there will be no kicking to the corner b*llocks. Great chance of levels for a change.
Another harsh one maybe, but who cares. Please let my O'Gara jinx end here......
Unreal, this **** has cost me a fortune down the years. I really want to punch him right in the ****g face.
Me too RM. ROG never seems to do the right thing for me. He cost me a packet last year when getting the DG on the 42 phase play as well.
The lions was the one that really cost me, but i'm actually only flat on the draw in this. All the green on Sarries
Yes Vis:
Lions tour, hitting the post against SA for Ireland, drop-goals more than once I think to break draws, and now this. Pretty sure there are more in that list as well.

munster didnt have time to seal it off this time
Nah, just someone with a big account looking to nick pennies on a done deal. Can't really lose here, but it's not how I would want to make my money.
Good win Sarries, fair result. Munster deserved a BP, Sarries backers deserved to cover the cap.
There was one match recently when he went to 1000 far too early as a team 6 down could well have had thoughts of getting it back via two 3 pointers with about 5 mins on the clock. I think he will get caught out one day but today was never going to be it once Sarries went six clear.
Well done RW, did well to go with your gut there. Sarries were probably the better team for most of the game, but was never going to be anything other than close.
For me it's all about one man. I don't know how but that sod does exactly the opposite to what I want every single time.

That's the first time EVER he has made me money, unlucky with the draw lads. You deserved for it at least to get level coming towards the end.
Game of the day next on S4C. Dragons v Mogliano. Think the -42 cap is too low. We beat them by 0-33 away last week, picked a decent enough team (though Falateu is on the bench) and it's not often we get the chance to run in a couple of tries at home.
Bar two dubious sin-bin decisions (one given, one somehow ignored) I thought Garces was pretty solid today on the whistle. Must be a ridiculously tough job to keep up with the rate Sarries and Munster offend and he didn't miss much.
Whatever some people like to think, the ref is the most important man in betting on rugby and anyone who doesn't single-handedly decide the match is a positive. Small and Rolland are not on that list.

Will leave you to it MB, think I'm done for after this week's excitement. 
Agree re the ref RM, Rolland is on his own. You actually wonder if he thrives on the crowd getting on his back, and him being the centre of attention. Most others crumble under crowd pressure and you can generally tell when they are beginning to wilt. If I fancy an away side and see Rolland is reffing I'm generally happy. If it's Fitzgibbon, I'll think again.
Nice try. These conditions are shyte though. Hasn't been too bad up till half hour ago
