Guys like Russell, Seymour and Bennett are constantly hanging around the gaps waiting for an intercept. It puts immense pressure on Racing who feel they have no choice but to go first or second receiver at most and straight into the rock solid weeg defence.

Too many kicks it's killing their momentum. They've had good position where they could build a few phases and let loose in search of a try but a kick always seems to follow. The game is in the bag, they need to take that risk.

Agree though it feels like quibling. I think they maybe thought that at 23-0 they needed to be sensible and get field position before attacking

Instead they're trying to attack from deep despite choosing to waste good position a few mins earlier? I really don't understand what Glasgow are doing now.

Yes, in foresight 23-0 is superb. In hindsight (I could yet eat my words) this is a try BP gone begging. They look awful now.

PS not trying to take anything away from Glasgow - this is a historic result. Whatever way you look at it they've left that extra point out on the field.

Good win. Does feel like a point left on the pitch but a good performance.

Great win. Pity about the bonus. Not getting that probably scuppers the chances of getting through without winning both games but very good position to be in right now

That was great, but agreed it feels very strange to be disappointed at not winning 30-odd to nil.

Can't see RM laying down and giving up. A team of that "calibre" will want a couple of results to save face and they simply will not finish the pool without a win. That only bodes well for Glasgow.

Would be nice if they did the double over Munster

Why? They're not playing Munster tomorrow. There is plenty of rugby to be played between now and the re-arranged fixture early jan and the final one end of Jan. RM are chock full of world class players, they could find their form.

Cheers EinE. On second viewing Finn's break on 11 mins was a certain try IMO. I think that's Hogg and Seymour (?) on the outside. A chip through would have seen them score. Seymour is the one who butchered it in the end though by trying to take them on the outside.

When was the Hogg hauled down a few inches from the line incident?

Racing are going through a crisis which will take a long time to mend. I can see tgings getting worse for the suburbian bast#rds.

You're exaggerating massively. Racing are out of sorts but it's no crisis.

Anyway... Leicester v Munster on right now. Munster 6-0 up after 30 mins. Tuilagi into the bin again. How predictable. Why do they persist with him? It's not even a cynical foul to kill the ball or anything... just needlessly shoulder barges people without the ball.

He's having a good old laugh about it on the bench as well. Surprised a man like Cockerill puts up with that attitude.

The silver lining is Munster don't look anywhere near getting a try BP.

Well they are 8th on the table... have no shape to their game... have survived a doping scandal...
But I am probaly exagerating.


Munster doesn't look too involved. They seem happy to see Leicester themselves down. 6-6 HT.

Glasgow are 6th in a slightly smaller table. If we're all jumping to conclusions then some might have called Glasgow a club in crisis after their recent results before this double header.

Racing have far too many resources at their disposal to finish winless.

Leicester has the edge right now. 12-9. Penalties starting to go their way as well.

Zebo binned. Thought that was a marginal call. Looked like he committed to the tackle before the kick went in.

If Leicester could pull away and prevent a LBP that would be great...
