fun fact: bordeaux v harlequins yesterday was the record for a game with the most points in a quarter in the Champions cup with 83 points. A record that hold for 24h with 90 points today
Lots of offense and little or no defense makes it more like a Super Rugby game :) Who would have thought La Rochelle could be held scoreless in a second half :)
Second half was manic. My bar here in SW France was in a state of permanent explosion. After the disappointment of yesterday perhaps not surprising, it was like a damn broke. But it was totally justified, Toulouse were outstanding. And the biggest cheer was for the return of Ramos, now what does Ugo do? Second biggest cheer. Jack Willis, man of the match. He was immense.
Really feel for Exeter as the 2nd half was a massive beat down. However that Toulouse team are just insane with Worldies 1-15 (and some on the bench) and the Devon boys should be very proud of what they’ve achieved. Hope it doesn’t effect the rest of their season.
I mean you can’t really blame the French tv, when during the World Cup, for the first time it wasn’t the host nation that had the control over the tv images, we saw what happens in the quarter finals. And in fact, during the game, it’s the TMO who showed several time the same actions, which did include a high tackle (but I guess it’s not that important to protect players…)
Some absurd ref decisions in the first half kept Exeter in the game. Fortunately that had no impact on the final result and fortunately the head contact didn't result in an injury.
Thought Tolouse were fantastic and kept their composure when ref made some horrendous calls. Never looked at the clearout on their line. Knock on's missed etc. Luckily Toulouse showed their class in closing out game
Ain't it boring how tim manages to make it as if Toulouse had no grounds being frustrated with the refering and it's just a problem of "french tv director". It was not and this happens in every country, only à french tv director was candid enough to admit it in an itw. In Ireland during the 6 nations last year the footage of James lowe scoring à try with his whole left leg in touch disappeared, in scotland when haouas got his famous and deserved red card, images of three punches on retaliation disappeared while haouas's was played on a loop, and that's just 2 obvious exemples from the top of my head. Today exeter got away with an awfull lot (high tackles, shoulder to the head, deliberate knock ons, neck rolls and even eye gouging on arnold). Then Toulouse was penalised at scrum time despite being utterly dominant. Luckily there was no sévère injury and the difference between the 2 teams was too big for à ref to level but the double standards (anything goes for exeter, extremely pedantic with toulouse) was really showing
Wow Tim I’ve been following since you were only about 5k followers and you’re flying now. Congratulations, well deserved mate! Agreed on what you’ve said here. Great games to follow
Exeter can feel very proud of that 1st half but it was Men vs Boys out there in that 2nd half! An ENG back-row of Willis, Earl & Mercer would be quite something if it was possible :( We'll see if Quins or Saints can cause any sort of unlikely upset!
@@joeboonmusic4004 Like the way CCS plays in that back-row with Evans & Dombrandt, but Quins arguably lacks that extra grit & discipline in defence against the very top sides!
I hope it isn't a Leinster v Toulouse final and either Harlequins or Northampton can pull off an upset, just so it isn't the two teams with the most expensive rostas in the final. But it looks unlikely.
Unlikely indeed, Toulouse might be more vulnerable to an upset than the surgical Leinster but with the level they displayed today Toulouse will be very heavily favored for their semi
The Irish do the same thing re overseas players, and it works it helps our four teams here. Otherwise we would not be able to compete at the URC and European level. Rugby is a minority sport here.
Toulouse crowd justifiably unhappy, some poor decisions. Recently you said how impressed you were with the Toulouse defence. If you watched the Top 14 every week you'd realise that this is their weak point. Lowly teams have walked through them, fortunately their offence is magical.
Gone today for a one week training with the french 7’s. He will skip a 7 tournament though and will keep playing with Toulouse until end of May. We”ll see him again in the European cup.
@jean-michellae9041 thanks for the update. Seems increasingly odd that he didn't play in the 6 nations. Great player, so always a delight to watch him, but I'd be worried about playing Toulouse when he is there!
I'm a big follower of your channel, but I can't agree with you on this. That french TV directors being biased thing is not a "stereotype for a reason". I watch British and South-Africans broadcasts too, and TV directors are no better. And you know what? I think it's just fine. It's part of the home advantage. So, it's just a stereotype, just like we don't always wear a beret and carry a baguette when we get out of the house. But that you know, you spent a great deal of time in France last summer... 😉🤗
@@coatknightcompletely unfair, it's just that 1 french tv director was honest enough to say in an itw that he wasn't to keen on looking for caméra angles that wouldn't help our national team And he might have said that half jokingly but i was all taken as an admission of guilt and now people are pretending that France is the team that cheats. Remember how much "home avantage " France enjoyed in the WC? How neither the possible deliberate knock on by big even nor the kolbe charge nor the psdt headbutting danty again were checked. Come on. SA did win a very dodgy home WC back in the days and the AB did also at home ( Joubert later apologised) but France, no way. You may think those calls were right or 50/50 but they sure didn't go France's way. If France rigged games there would be a few more trophies to show. So the lecturing and the stéréotype is really useless and shows à whole lot of respect for french rugby.
@@coatknight The foul on Dupont is shown to the referee on screen and he does not take care of it. The forward is shown on the screen and the referee does not take care of it. On the other hand, for the yellow card, he did not need to view it on the screen even though it followed the forward. Rather than wondering about the impact of the French director, ask yourself why on such obvious mistakes the referee does nothing. This is the real BIG problem.
As a French rugby fan living in the Gulf, I enjoy watching your posts coz they are always fair and unbiased. You appreciate great rugby and dislike unfairness, that’s great…Toulouse vs Leinster should be the final, but Quins and Northampton are 2 very good teams as well…and they have nothing ‘Toulouse’…😜
This Englishman detests Leinster - they are cheats, and their fans are glory-hunting, Manchester United prawn sandwich brigade. The European competition is devaluing itself by allowing South African teams in. La Rochelle could not give Leinster a proper game because of travel-related fitness issues........then we have the Bulls cheat the fans of their test players. Boot out the SA teams.
As an Irish fan......munster so not fully invested.....Toulouse look scary and if its Toulouse and Leicester it's going to be a very interesting clash of two teams, and 2 different styles, at the very top of their game.
I'm a partisan English man, but I'd have enjoyed the Toulouse game more if they hadn't been playing an English team. It has to be Toulouse v Leinster for the final.
A game is never decided by Half Time as Leinster knows after last year's final. Exeter gave a good account of themselves against a well financed Top Club. :)
Well done to Exeter and at half time I was looking forward to a second half to be quite similar and close but hats off to Toulouse they were on fire in the second half and would have destroyed any team.
Who thinks otherwise (except for Leinster/ Irish fans) ? ;-) Although I have to say I admire the Swiss-clockwork style of Leinster. There is beauty to it.
They weren't so beautiful two years ago when Leinster gave them a lesson on how to play Rugby in Dublin. 40-17 I believe was the final result. Any team can play beautifully if they are allowed to. Leinster are the team to beat, Toulouse and the other two teams are there to make up the numbers. Allez Les Verts !
@creekyknee if leinster is the team to beat how is it they are not able to win the Cup for so many years ? :D Even when they are at home they are not able to take it...
Exeter have done outstandingly well, with their young squad this season. Just wondering why the Bulls are being slammed for their performance, away from home against Northampton, with tough travel demands, also with a team filled with youngsters?
Are English teams the best starters in the CC? I think they have identified they cannot afford to get into a grind with these teams, and you need to force them to tear up their plans. Quinns managed beautifully with Bordeaux, forcing them to change their plans and forcing them to run in the heat more than they would like. Saints came out of the blocks. They now need to try and do this against the royalties of tolouse and Leinster. 1, can they? 2 will it be enough?
I really enjoyed that first half. And then I missed the first 10 mins of the second half so when I tuned in again, I couldn't believe the score. Exeter were right in touch in that first half and deservedly so. Typical French crowd, no respect, no class, booing the officials, booing their own team. And then the TV broadcaster being completely subjective with what clips they were showing on the big-screen. Can't wait for Leinster to stuff Toulouse again if they meet in the final. Jack Willis was exceptional, some of the English lads playing in Europe are playing great Rugby. Not sure I agree with that rule, I think that they should be allowed to earn a living where-ever they want and still be allowed to play for their native country Internationally. This is obviously a very good Toulouse side, ROG seems to fancy them based on this post-match interview but I think its more likely sour grapes from ROG because it was Leinster that spanked them last night. It looks like a Toulouse v. Leinster final and it would make from a great final but Quins and the Saints might have a thing to say about that. English Rugby has turned a corner I think, the Jones nightmare is slowly but surely being forgot. Two teams in the last four, Imagine if they both got to the final. That would be some upset. Thanks Tim for the excellent and timely review. We were spoilt with some cracking games of Rugby this weekend. These are the good times !

I find funny to read comments discovering that French can boo and moan all the time... Don't you know yet that it's our gasoline? That's in part who we are, sorry. BUT we sometimes do it for good reasons, we hate bold and clear injustice being unpunished.
Agree on your comments on TV but shame on the ref for not looking to watch the forward fumble prior to the card and the try. That is a HUGE mistake at this level. An country director would have played that and Rassie would have done a special video on it.
@@victordastile5204 looks like it. I predict: Porter will take one in the head for the team, Toulouse lose a player for the red card, five minutes into the game. Leinster win.
Thanks for the praise. My only disagreement is your matched praise of Baxter and Toulouse's coach. I'm quite sure you, JB or Phil could lead that side to glory...
I'm not a fan of Busby as I don't believe he is a good enough ref to be in the Champions Cup but I have to give him some credit on how he handled the pressure from the Toulouse fans and didn't get rattled
Blair Kinghorn - worst player on the pitch? Certainly not at the level of the rest of the team (on his own), but maybe gets kudos that he stays alive for the reload?
Yes because the disrespect is obviously the same when one team is losing with their A team and the other doesn't send half their A players. Don't be so daft, this is a wild strawman argument.
No, they did not had the endurance and the bench to resist the onslaugh during the last 30 minutes, despite putting up their best players. If you counts the internationals in each team, its is understandable.
I'm stunned how biased you are, UK's TV are doing the same shit all the time, and you assume that it's a french thing, are you serious ? And that ref was a bloody jock, instead of sin bin Mauvaka, he should had go for the Exeter hand's mistake in the ruck, then no penalty against Toulouse, and not try for Exeter to follow. Player safety ? Not yellow for the player who cleared Dupont with his shoulder on Dupont's head ? Come on man, get your shit together. Anyway...
@@creekyknee Yeah, I remember when RSA won vs England during the last RWC, and that one player (Curry ?) "heard" a so call racist sentence from a prop, it was so classy from you guy.... What about England / France during the 2023 tournament, crowd leaving Twickenham with 30 minute remaining, so classy....

@@RogerBiwandu What drink are you sipping Roger ? Whatever it is, it seems to be good stuff. Apart from not making very little sense you seem to have also wrongly assumed that I am British. Us French need to recognise our failures and try and improve, instead of constantly blaming others for our short-comings. Passer à autre chose.
I hope it's an ironic comment because the Exeter knock on (that the ref refused to check) prior to the Mauvaka yellow card is scandalistic. The ref was below zero today but TMO was even worse 'cause it gave him no call when he was supposed to (intentional Exeter knock on on a Toulouse attack for example and so on and so on...)
@@nicolasmaligner8753 Are you saying that endless booing and the TV manipulation are justified and that is way rugby must go? There is no justification that is acceptable.
@@nicolasmaligner8753 That was not a knock on, the ref got it right. Typical French fans moaning, they learn to moan before they learn to speak apparently.
Whereas the Brits starting to leave the 6N match at half time, seeing the spanking the English team got, in 2023 was a show of pure class. 😅 Typical british exceptionalism. Fair play only when they win.
We all agree Chiefs put it to Stade in the first half, and good for them. But, whilst all referees are human and will make mistakes, the crowd were going bonkers in the first half because head shots and deliberate knock ons were going unsanctioned let alone a rather one-eyed approach to break down time. Quins Toulouse could be a match for the ages and Toulouse will have to at their best to win.
fun fact: bordeaux v harlequins yesterday was the record for a game with the most points in a quarter in the Champions cup with 83 points. A record that hold for 24h with 90 points today
That Bordeaux v Harlequins game was a cracker for line breaks, tries and pace. Harlequins were on fire and not giving up the gauntlet for no one.

@@creekyknee Yeah, I remember when RSA won vs England during the last RWC, and that one player (Curry ?) "heard" a so call racist sentence from a prop, it was so classy from you guy....
What about England / France during the 2023 tournament, crowd leaving Twickenham with 30 minute remaining, so classy....
The problem is that you drink way too many beers, it affects your judgement, stick to the tea mate.
@@RogerBiwandu What drink are you sipping Roger ? Whatever it is, it seems to be good stuff. Apart from not making very little sense you seem to have also wrongly assumed that I am British. Us French need to recognise our failures and try and improve, instead of constantly blaming others for our short-comings. Passer à autre chose.
@@creekyknee Red wine, I'm from Bordeaux, so you're a frog, even worse then, I'm not for the auto-flagellation.
@@creekykneeyou are as much french as I am south African 😂😂
Pity about the shameful behaviour of the French fans and TV people.
LOL
I hope it's an ironic comment because the Exeter knock on (that the ref refused to check) prior to the Mauvaka yellow card is scandalistic. The ref was below zero today but TMO was even worse 'cause it gave him no call when he was supposed to (intentional Exeter knock on on a Toulouse attack for example and so on and so on...)
@@nicolasmaligner8753 Are you saying that endless booing and the TV manipulation are justified and that is way rugby must go? There is no justification that is acceptable.
@@nicolasmaligner8753 That was not a knock on, the ref got it right. Typical French fans moaning, they learn to moan before they learn to speak apparently.
Whereas the Brits starting to leave the 6N match at half time, seeing the spanking the English team got, in 2023 was a show of pure class. 😅
Typical british exceptionalism. Fair play only when they win.
We all agree Chiefs put it to Stade in the first half, and good for them. But, whilst all referees are human and will make mistakes, the crowd were going bonkers in the first half because head shots and deliberate knock ons were going unsanctioned let alone a rather one-eyed approach to break down time. Quins Toulouse could be a match for the ages and Toulouse will have to at their best to win.
France and French teams always play against 16 or 17 with the TMO.

Harlequins 19 toulouse 47, quins will take the storm
@@estalobalova I don’t understand what you mean………
@@jamesbenjamin8078 Harlequins vs toulouse happened during pool stages, 19-47, so it will be difficult for quins in the stadium of toulouse
