As a Bath supporter just a little gutted. A great game of Rugby away at Leinster. To only lose by 3 points is no disgrace but with 16 handling errors and conceding 12 penalties. Was always going to be difficult.

Great experience gained and will be back for more next year.

Looking forward to the other 3 games still too come this weekend.
 
Were too indisciplined early on but was a horrific last penalty, Heaslip was lying all over the ball, pen shouldve gone to Bath under the posts not to Leinster

Think all the UK teams struggle sadly, Sarries maybe the best chance of causing an upset
 
Wouldn't write of the Saints just yet mate

Was a clear pen for Bath in the last min - ref bottled it
 
The penalty against bath was an awful decision. I actually thought it had gone to bath and extra time was coming. Whole match was almost a carbon copy of the ireland v england match, won through being accurate, well drilled, disciplined and helped a little by the ref 😉
Northampton just got given a rugby lesson.

No extra time would have happened. if it came down to being tied, I understood that it went to the team with the most tries? (may be wrong!)

If so, then ref bottled giving the game to bath! (Not 100% Ford would have kicked it though....)
 
I thought it was 10 minutes each way then tries scored. Should certainly have been a bath penalty. There were also a couple of scrum penalties that went the wrong way.
 
Amazing result for Sarries, with just a small helping hand from Racings stupidity :) Some kick under pressure from Bosch a non regular kicker. Just got to go and win at Clermont to make the final now lol

Great battling result

Today just confirmed my opinion that Owens is a poor ref but glad he had the balls to call that in the end - shame the ref in the Bath match didnt

Really? Owens again seemed to me to have a good game. Shows how different people see different things.

I'll point out one ckear error - Roberts should have been yellow carded for deliberate knock on

And within the first 20 mins he warned one player twice for the same offence and kept warning Metro for constant pens - but sent Hamilton straight off
 
I didn't see Leinster v Bath but fancied it would be a good game. Leinster will throw heart and soul at the Champions cup this year as it looks as if theit Pro12 defence is going to be mightily tough given their current league position with 4 games left.

Was well impressed with Clermont yesterday
