Sexton hugely talented rugby player, but even more talented whiney ref badgering bawbag. Asking for yellows, holding his head when it has not been touched. shut up and play rugby you nut sack.

Rant over, Leinster playing well and absolutely relentless, think aforementioned nut sack will keep them in the wasp corners second half and they will run away with this.

One of the most thorough mullerings of an English team ever seen in this competition. Very impressive from Leinster, pretty embarrassing for Wasps. No doubt it was all down to Pro14 teams being able to rest their players blah blah yawn....

Leicester 0-43 Glasgow. We did it. Away from home too! Once the game hit the 50min mark Leinster afterburners were on. Some smexy Rugby thrown in there too.

I’ve no wish to diminish Glasgow’s achievement that night because they were simply brilliant, they mullered the Tigers’ pack to the point where Ellis Genge was throwing the whole pram, let alone the toys. The Weedgie backs were magnificent, everything clicked and Leicester had no answer.

However, Leinster last night was a whole different thing, whilst other sides would have put up a fight against that Glasgow, I’m not sure many bar perhaps Sarries and Clermont or Stade Fr. would have withstood what Leinster did, even that is debatable.

agree TH. Leinster were different class last night, but also fair to say Wasps were abysmal with maybe a couple of exceptions. Of course as withe Weegie -Leicester game, hard to tell how much their paucity was down to Leinster's excellence, but latter have to be very strong favourites to retain the cup

These are the games our players need to be playing in they are really going to progress-that's how the Leinsters and Munsters got so good by continual exposure to this level.Great chance for the likes of Kinghorn,McInally,Bradbury and Watson to see if they've got what it takesover today and next Saturday.
Just a pity DVDM is out otherwise this is as good as we can put out.

Newcastle up at Toulon at half time. Toulon are bad this year, think they could be in for a wake up call at BTM.

Glasgow being Sarried right now. Wilson and Itoje competing for most dislikeable player on the pitch, Itoje just ahead.

Falcons beat Toulon in Toulon!

Falcons beat Toulon in Toulon!

Way, way too early to call, but this has a makings of a potential five win Embra campaign if we win well against RCT next weekend.

You heard it here first. And hopefully not last ...

Falcons beat Toulon in Toulon!

Good game. Not much flair in that Newcastle team but I liked the way they went about the game. Toulon are a bit ponderous but their maul is good.

[The Nudger]

Worst result possible for us though. I fear Toulon will now be severely pumped up for us next wee now!

[dolf_lundgren]

Or they will have chucked this tournament already in a bid not to get relegated? All is not well there, if we can make a fast start they are definatelyy beatable.

Toulon don't seem to be motivated for any teams.

Seems a total meltdown over there. 12th in the Top14! Losing to a Falcons team with one all year and without key players at home, promising five signings after a loss - one being a Glasgow lock who's always injured and when not he's playing for Hawks, then announcing him without agreeing compensation.

They're a team of mercenaries who can't be bothered and clueless coaches with an insane owner at the best of times.

The last thing they want is to face a snarling Cockers pack at a cold Murrayfield. Would be disappointing if we don't win.
