The rugby

[Dorset Boy]

Georgian referee.

Nika Amashukeli is one of the top 3 refs in the world .... normally. TMO has missed loads though

Well that was a pulsating first half if ever there was one.
Hard to believe there’s been only one try and it’s just 6-13.

 

[Blazing Saddles]

It’s effectively over as a competition, after 20 minutes of the second half.
One just for the fans now.

The Rec was rocking at the end. Great euphoria and celebrations.
I felt tired at the end, just watching.

 

[Drago]

Georgian referee.

What, he has those sash windows withbrhe small panes of glass?

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Leicester lucky in the end. Steward’s tackle clearly had no arms involved, but Matt Carney decides he must have had an invisible third arm.

It was a 50/50.
He had to readjust mid tackle so he was given the benefit of the doubt.
Good game though

Watched Friday on a mobile with no sound whilst sat in a restaurant in Rome. Great to silence the Lam and put Bristol back in their box! Looking forward to watching the game properly in due course. And then off to Twickenham next Saturday!

Delighted for Bath! Seems a long time since I was watching them with the likes of Barnes, Guscott and Chilcott! It would have been a travesty if they hadn’t won given the way they dominated the league this year. I’m really not a fan of the playoffs.

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Disappointed that the video ref had to butt in and disallowed Pepper’s incredible try.
Overall though, I thought the sides were very evenly matched.
So I am glad that I tend to follow Bath as my English team and have never liked Leicester since they used to pip Llanelli on a regular basis in the European theatre.

Very, very happy heading home on the train. Montoya should have been red. Pepper wonder try wrongly ruled out resulting in a squeaky bum last few minutes. Shed a few tears at the end! Tigers dug in and made a real fight of it.

I've kind of drifted away from watching Rugby lately but that was a very enjoyable match. Started out neutral, and chose Bath for no real reason. That non-try was fantastic, but I suppose if you have tech you have to use it, and he did knock it on. But if ever there was a case for turning a blind eye ...

The ref has some pace.
I’ve reffed U14 games and can’t keep up.

Anyone following the Lions tour to Australia who uses a VPN may be interested to know that you can get the 'warm up' games free to watch on Rugby Pass TV app when connected via the USA.

The test matches aren't going to be on there unfortunately.
They will be free to air on the Australian service 9Now but so far I've not been able to access that even with Australian VPN connection and Australian Google account.

As an aside, I've also recently discovered that you can get YouTube without ads by connecting via VPN to some countries where YouTube doesn't show ads, such as Albania, Armenia, and some others.

I commented that to my OH when watching the game later. Very impressive.

On the pitch, the ref runs the second furtherst of everyone, after the scrum halves btw.
