Fair play to Hoyland though, took it like a champ.

Should have been a yellow at least. High, no arms, stopping a try being scored. The only thing is wasn't was late.

It doesn't show it in that clip but McFadden had to go off afterwards. Shameful indeed.

So it was Eddie Jones who convinced Cheika to take the wallabies job? Or maybe Eddie told him to sign the only Kiwi prop who has no ball handling skills?

Glasgow are just going to romp to the title aren't they? Between them and Leinster they make an already dodgy league look terrible.

Same as last year. Glasgow hit their stride with a couple of games to go and looked unstoppable though Connacht just pumped Munster so that could be an interesting game on the 7th.

No, it's that time of the decade where the tahs decided to be utterly awful as a team.

Which is a shame because last nights match showed they had the players and the ability to pressure the oppositions try line, yet none of the ability to finish it.

Half time @ Blues v Dragons and it's 18-8 to the Blues. I've come home from the pub so I don't rip the TV off the wall and throw it out the window. Fortunately it's on S4C so no one will be able to actually watch the game.

I don't want to judge as it's only 10 minutes in but it's been fairly poor, a lot of these players wouldn't be professionals anywhere else in the world. They are trying to play some good rugby though and maybe in a few weeks the teams will have gelled and there will be some good matches

That was an absurdly high miss-pass and he could have put his winger in an ambulance.

Holy poo poo, it's actually Mirco Bergamasco? He was playing in the Pro 12 a few weeks ago. I guess they put this league together REALLY quick?

A lot of errors now, some of the players look very tired which is fair enough in this heat.

I think one of the players just had to tell the ref he stands under the posts when giving a penalty try

The idea of just blaring air horns at the kicker is something that could really catch on.

The amount of cramp is unreal. Stupid time of the year to be playing. Nevermind that it's 15 men against 13 so a lot harder.

One player should be getting a lengthy ban for a silly eye gouge. Caught right on camera.

4,000. They only fill up one of the stands, but they seem really into it. It's actually a really tense game at this point.

This is probably the most 'rugby' game of the rugby possible. Sacramento just won it with a loving drop goal out of nowhere.

Edit : I mean, they won it because Bergamasco can kick, while nobody on either team can catch the ball while running, but it was really fun.
