Saw the Munster game and Munster were not good with Murray been the worst offender by far very lucky not the get a yellow for a blatant foul.

Saw Leinster vs Exeter and enjoyed it. A tight game with the Chiefs giving there all. Tow Hayes went out there with a point to prove and showed it in exclamation points. Deserved a draw at least.

As for Ulster vs Castre it really shows how much Ulster have kicked on this season. Their tight 5 is up there with any other team in the Northern Hemisphere and with Payne and Bowe added to the backs they have firepower all over. Must be in with a chance to win it.

Didn't see any other game as there was golf on in Portugal so I had to relinquish the tv :(

i saw:
ulster vs castre- ulster is up there as my favourite with clermount. great team.

leinster vs exeter- only saw the second half, leinster very poor, ref was very harsh on exeter, they missed a penalty at the end which would draw the game, they deserved it. tom hayes man of the match,

saw us vs zebre- we never fair well when expected to win, 4points is what was realistic, we got it, job done.

quins vs biarritz- quins played great, evans wasnt a loss when he went of injured, replacement top guy, on thing in our favoure is he never played in galway before, if we have a good day vs biarritz then id give us every chance. quins will be very hard.

toulouse vs leicester - toulouse very strong, will be an french winner and maybe ulster.

toulon vs montpellier - touloun were good but the team they played were clueless and lacked a leader. 17 points down, they go for the posts rather than getting a lineout 5m out. more knock-ons than in a connacht match on a wet day

saw bits of northampton vs glasgow - glasgow took a 15-0 lead, tells its own story 24-15

Glasgow were wrecked with injuries, finished with two scrum halves and a flanker in the backs. Hard to blame them for the loss.

I saw our game, the Leinster game and the Toulouse v Leicester game.

Two tries in 240 minutes!

Anyone watch any other games apart from our own? Quins V Biarritz was the game of the weekend for me, two excellent teams, we really have our work cut out for us.

Great start for Ulster with that emphatic win. Munster were poor apart from Zebo and Howlett, shocking display from Murray won't do his Ireland chances for the Autumn games any favours. How bad were Leinster? Couldn't put 2 passes together. Exeter were good though in fairness. Deserved at least a draw.

Managed to get Toulouse Leicester in too yesterday, decent match. Toulouse look as strong as ever.
