I'm a wee bit worried that they'll bottle the BP try...they should've gone for a try instead of kicking for points earlier. Ah well...hopefully they'll just go hell for leather and get a BP win.

Lydiate off already and replaced by Groves. Hope he's OK and it's just precautionary.

That's a relief. I suppose they just wanted to warm him up a bit. He hadn't played since September.

Don't think so with a 20pt lead - that would take a fairly big implosion

The heavens have opened there now. That'll make things awkward...

The O's have signed an Italian scrumhalf. I forgot about that.

Your looking at him through misty eyes, I have seen him cost the Ospreys in big games like in the HC.

Me. They've got some fierce competition at the top of the table...

Ha! I like the band playing Singing in the Rain. Dragons miss the penalty. Why don't they just go for the corner...?

Beck had no right to make that much ground.

O's have the try, despite Fussell and Spratt's inabilty to make try scoring passes

Biggar's kicking has been excellent - didn't miss any for Wales last week either - a serious backup for Halfpenny and the O's would have been in BIG trouble if they lost him.

Oh I don't know...Morgs isn't a too shabby replacement. Just not as experienced...yet.

Still inconvinced. He is a poor defender and doesn't have half the kicking game of Biggar.

Faletau try Very Happy

Then I think it's just you. He was the only one trying up in Leicester and down in Toulouse. His leadership has been nothing short of immaculate. Best scrum half in the world in my opinion.

He is not far off IMO, Genia is better as is Parra, Phillips and Pienaar, but he is probably no5

Arhip gets his first O's try

Matthew Morgan butchers a try by falling over his own feet.

But it is ok, Tipuric is playing on the wing

If his job is to keep the shirt on his back then yes. Don't get me wrong he'll cover in the Rabo decent enough, but he is so below HC level!!!

He was, but this season he has looked decent. Cuts some good attacking lines from FB, which is what is needed when the O's lack creativity out wide
