bollox, that means we won't get Ewan Richards back.

Blue sky, foie gras and duck heart sandwiches, a couple of pints and one hour until kick off. La vie est belle !!

Oof, i bet Bath wish they'd got stuck into the pints. Looking like a long day.

Save a sandwich for Obano, he looked good and hungry there!

Hoping for a nice open game, with TBPs for both sides...
If we're lucky, we'll keep the difference below 20

Most interventions so far is from the stadium dj.

At least TNT are over their Finn Russell obssession

bath attack shape has been great.

bring back Jack Willis

Can't really argue with that - however unpleasant the neck wrestling looks (pretty standard maul technique, just a little too obvious)

I knew you’d have an opinion on it!

Great line and timing fro Coka - completely ignored by Gallagher.


Kick at posts?
Why?

Just go to corner, both teams need a BP, and Toulouse will win comfortably anyway

Brace is very generous with offloads out of a ruck.I like it, but I'm not convinced they're "immediate"

It’s all obvious now. Lawrence at 7 and Earl at 12. Stuart Barnes, you are a genius.

Wow.
Was not expecting a first half like this.
And we're generally a 2nd half team this year!

great stuff. love the detail from Bath in attack- top coaching.

Bath doing very well. To come back twice to level the game is good going. A lot to like about the way they are playing.

Brace is a comedy ref. Bath score off a l/o when several players leave early to form a maul before the ball is thrown, then Toulouse try the same thing and get penalised. Ho hum...

poor by ewels then spencer imo but lucky

Good catch by the officials.
Must admit, I thought it was brilliant play live.

yup. nice to see how ojomoh and sid interchange. Shape great

obano should start for us

I do like to see a SH get his dirty and prevent the jackal occasionally
