Nowt wrong with that either, hits him as he passes it. Its getting silly now.

Agreed, hard to call that a late shot. A very hard one as the ball left his hands, but not a late one.

[northamptoncougar]

That’s a joke - wtf is the game coming too - it’s rugby !!

[Futtocks]

Goudemand gets his first try of the season. Da Costa made that easy for him.

Saints fans show their real class, booing an injured player as he leaves the field.

I understand penalising blatant late hits on prone players but the past week has seen some ridiculous yellow cards.

Yeah some of our idiots (we all have them) got that badly wrong. The decision you should boo, the player did nothing wrong.

Sounds like you are becoming a bit disillusioned with what is happening on the game as well DK

[dkw]

Bloody hell, he's tall.

[Dunbar]

I understand there is a balance here and we have to protect the ball players from the late, cheap shots but the Saints sin bin was harsh.

But I am not going to blame the ref as the game is very fast moving and these are split second calls.

[Futtocks]

Corentin le Cam is on. All six foot nine of him.

There's no way you could argue intent against a high tackle on him...

Ah that was a shame, good attacking set by catalans spoiled by a dropped ball by Rouge.

That'll leave him red-faced.

[Padge]

The future is looking good for Catalan with these young French players who are coming through.

[ATLANTISMAN]

Bring back test matches

I'd even settle for Phil Gould receiving a vigorous drop goal to the plums.

Dodd seems to get more influential with each passing game. He’s going to be some player.
