Totally confused as ever by DDD. Munster Sarries was a great game for the purist. Had it all except running rugby. Still really enjoyed it, and kudos to the Munster fans for observing silence for the kicks.

Mmmm – can remember someone saying GN going to Saints would not benefit his rugby career………!

Glad we’re getting some upsets. Makes the tournaments all the better for it.

Do I really need to explain?

Saracens are the English Toulon – Toulon are the soccerification of rugby – ipso facto – Saracens are the soccerification of rugby.

What’s this ‘soccerification of rugby’ rubbish when it comes to Saracens?

MC – Typo alert – Think you might have offended some Ulstermen – “Up in northern island”

ABUS&T! — Keep your “football loving mates” away — This is not soccer!

Munster 1 – Soccerification of Rugby 0
Soccerification of Rugby 1 Ulster 0

Much work needs to be done to end the soccerification of Rugby!

Wales 4 – Ospreys 0 :-). Wow George North. Commiserations to Hassler – most of Saints dominance came from a totally bemused and confused midfield Os defence, With Beck and Bishop out they look totally lost. Hassler is great going forward, great pointing people towards the touchline, but give him two shoulders to think about and he’s all over the place. He’ll have nightmares about that one for years.

Scarlets win against Leicester was magnificent – fairly evenly matched physically, which was great to see for the usually underpowered Scarlets, so it was the Scarlets better execution that saw them through. Some small compensation for the regions after seeing their finest get dismantled on Saturday. I am increasingly concerned that Priestland has now had two games in which he hasn’t looked utterly, utterly rubbish – which is a big improvement for him. The concern is that Gats will see this as an excuse to start with him. Biggar and Webb still looked good on Saturday but had nothing outside them to work with.

Munster should have been a much more straightforward result – Keatley needs to get some kicking practice in.

Calum Clark – an unfortunate win for my football loving mates who tell me that rugby is all about just being a nasty pos.
