I don’t know if refs think it’s so prevalent you’ll have 30+ penalties every game if it’s done, so no bother doing. But it’s almost every game now the captains must be called by the refs to tell their teams to stop the chat and it has had very little effect.

But Andy Goode is focusing on intent, like that's a material issue here.

Either of these offences could be penalized, and with yellow. But lack of intent does not stop either of them being an offence.

Is that operational yet? I thought it only came in next season.

What teams miss is not being in the top 2 in your group means you have close to zero chance going far in Europe with the number of away games you need to play.

(Although I actually agree with him this time) he really said the game’s gone soft on the air like he’s a Twitter bot

They got very little from the bench unfortunately which I assume was the basis for them trying to play as quick as possible.

Feels like many games in Loftus the Bulls play themselves off their feet trying to play as fast as possible.

Defence has been their biggest issue for a couple of seasons.

Was interesting to see them trying to out- Bordeaux Bordeaux... and picking some tired Boks on the bench probably backfired
