I’m not sure who invited Liz Truss, and perhaps that’s why everyone looks a bit nervous, as if they’re expecting a devastating mini-budget in the middle of the festivities.
Nevertheless, a very happy feasting season to all, and may there be some cracking derbies over the next week or so.
Crackling derbies would be good too, only that depends on the pork markets.
We don’t see any cheese boards, and obviously That Is a Disgrace.

Now The Bulls get the luck of the bounce, the ball bounces from inside the Bristol try line, onto the corner flag and back into play, where de Klerk scores. 42-61.

Oof, Bulls just run 2/3 the pitch and Le Roux gets a lovely pass from a prop to score. 49-61 with 5mins to play.

That was a very silly match.

La Rochelle lead inside the last minute, try to wind down the clock, cock it up, cough up a couple of penalties and Leinster win with a penalty at the death! LAR were so stupid in the last passage. Should’ve run it up and kept Leinster on the back foot. All credit to Leinster for sticking at it!

Quins are literally getting the bounce of the ball, Nick David the latest beneficiary as the ball goes past two defenders and he has an easy run in. Now Zach Carr, fresh off the bench, collects a grubber on the Stormers’ 22 to score. 54-0!
