Just back from Edinburgh v Bulls. Cracker. Edinburgh through to the semis of the Challenge cup.

100+ points in 2 weeks and none conceded…… they are motoring right now. We’ve a horrible away game vs Bordeaux, their back line is like the ****ing globetrotters with Penaud and Bielle Barrie ffs

[Buzzo]

52-0

Ouch.

That’s after they beat Harlequins 62-0 last week.

[Irishnev]

Yeah, even fully loaded Glasgow would struggle here that was relentless. it has been a masterclass. They are effectively a test team operating in club Rugby. Toulouse and Leinster are on a different level quality and depth wise to any other club teams out there and Toulouse without DuPont don’t look quite as formidable.

Have to feel it’s Leinster trophy to lose.

Leinster v Toulouse would be an immense final.

I forgot about DuPont, it levels the playing field a bit

They are putting on a clinic so far, the squad depth is ridiculous and having Barrett plus Snyman just seems unfair! Having said that Toulouse could have their number

[Buzzo]

That Leinster squad is a joke.

Glasgow have about 7 players out tonight, this could be a chastening night.

[Buzzo]

The game only just finished - but it looked a bad one.

Also - I Just saw Grant Gilchrist at Lidl 5 mins ago!

Capuozzo scored a worldy try in that game but got his leg mangled on the tackle as he went over the line and left the pitch on a stretcher.

Any news on this injury?

[Buzzo]

Toulouse are formidable but maybe a bit less so without DuPont.

Leinster have to fancy their chances with a home draw. Smashing Quins to nil is some statement.

Toulouse v Sale delayed because one of the pre-match parachutists got snagged on the stadium roof!

URC is a strong league these days.

Glasgow beat Leicester also.

Rewarded with an away trip to Leinster….. Toulouse are still the team to beat but Snyman, Barrett and Slimani have been excellent gets for Leinster. They’ve so much depth

The Leinster win was sizeable!
