Me too, I'll find a homely Ale House to watch it in and cheer on Jack and his mates.

Don't forget Thibaud. !

On his day he could be the most influential player on the pitch

I find I'm watching more French matches than UK.  Still dead ignorant of course,  but very sorry for Newcastle;  having said that ....  they are still alive and playing.  Just.

Ditto French but also the URC. And by tonight the URC could have both cups sown up. Hoping not though.

It should be a cracker. Rooting for Thibaud and Jack but hope Leinster win.

With so much expectation it could be an extreme damp squib bore fest. Unlikely but could.

Not on ITV1 (as I originally posted) but is now in ITV4. Apparently there is some football game on which is showing on BBC1 and ITV1.

Matt Charley isn?t good enough to referee a European Cup final.

Porter has French 3 on toast but no penalty has been given. Ntmack hands on floor at ruck time but wins penalty.

Well done Toulouse. Willis and Dupont were amazing. When did Jack had surgery on his neck - [he has a left posterior paravertebral incision - usually done for nerve compression problems. A huge incision......]

Nienaber has turned Leinster into S Africa 'light' - they have lost the attack that they had with Lancaster, and play more direct.

I thought Jack was close to being MoM. I think the commentators, near the end of ET, said he had made over 40 tackles!

Having used my phone for casting I am now free.
What a match well done to Jack, Tibo and Blair. Jack mentioning Wasps was a breath catch moment. When commentators talk about Dupont and Willis in the same sentence you know the boy done good.

Liked the Toulouse coach saying we have an academy session in the morning.

Pardon me please, and completely off piste,  but ..........  welcome back Joffre Archer.  And with a wicket too.  Has it been two or more years?

A b***** good English cricketer  Bowler.  Several  ouch operations.  I was so pleased to see him back after several years I had to write it somewhere.  Thank you, and sorry!

Great match , and hate to admit it a great stadium with brilliant atmosphere inside(though no Guinness and the bar nearest me had run out of one beer at half time and then had shut down in second half -obviously no thought of extra time and drinking habits of rugby supporters).
Good mix around me of french supporters though obviously more Irish on the whole. Well done to Toulouse.

Very nice shot of Rafa and Worzel next to each other in the stands enjoying the game. Brings back memories.

Yes

Jack Willis won the 'Joe Worsley Defence' award, if there was one.
