Sun 5th Oct: Ch GF: York Knights v Toulouse Olympique KO 14:00 (The Sportsman)

[Luke HKR]

Simple first try, after Mcshane does well to get the ball back.

[Leeds Wire]

Classic try by Mata'afa!

Who is the commentator please? 

Really enjoyed Mark Wilson's commentary recently and this fella is also adding to the pleasure.

[Luke HKR]

Good game this so far, Toulouse shading it so far in my opinion. 

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Good fight to add to the entertainment!

[EagleEyePie]

Getting a bit spicy this. You love to see it. Toulouse get the penalty they should have been awarded earlier.

[marklaspalmas]

Balloons on the field throughout the first half.

Why?

Must be distracting for the players 

[bratman]

Commentary is good, better than the hysterics from Sky yesterday 

[wilsontown]

I could take losing this game but I wouldn't want to lose because we have no discipline. Sort it out.

[Futtocks]

Did I just see someone in the stands wearing 3D glasses?

Anyway, after a tough first half, there's only two points in it - York 4:6 Toulouse.

   York giving too many penalties away.Plenty of mistakes with ball as well.Toulouse keeping the ball alive they fancy the edges more than a forward battle down the middle.Still think York will win.

The live public comments are good, too.

I think it said that over 13k were watching at one point in the first half.  Add that to the crowd actually in the LNER Stadium and I think that makes about 20k watching the game live one way or another.

Very good viewing figures. York's regular season games have tended to get up to around 3k.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Hilarious tackle! 3 York players just pick the Toulouse man up and carry him over the line!

Terrible decision by the ref not to call tackled when the player was in the air. Does Tom Grant know the rules?

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Good try!

[Luke HKR]

Reslly well worked try, Mcshane's been brilliant this game.

Yeah that was crazy. Every person who's ever watched rugby league knows that's illegal. It was clear as day and the Ref just ignored it.

[NRLandSL]

Referee is shocking

[The Hallucinating Goose]

This really is football from Toulouse.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Toulouse look absolutely knackered.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

And we've got another fight...

Good job ther'e getting penalties to kick.

[JohnM]

York seem a bit "vigorous."

[The Hallucinating Goose]

5 penalties see Toulouse lead with 15 mins to go.
