Yep, looks like a match too far to me. Think they'll give it their all but come up 12 to 14 points short. That said, Rohan’s lads already have a bit of a mystique about them. If Catalans don't do well early they will feel the pressure.

I hope we take them off their game and get into the ribs of Tomkins, when they lose their discipline they turn to sht, we need to put them under that pressure.

I’m quite confident we can turn them over, but on the other side of the coin just want this season over.

If I had that confidence about Friday I'd want the season to go on as long as possible because this game and these circumstances is about as tough as it gets at this stage. if we could win and survive any more injuries or suspensions (I know) I'd really fancy us in the next round. But I don't so I'll probably settle for a gritty performance with a bit more promising cohesion and Tomkins to be given a good working over.

Don't think cats have been owt special this year - reckon we'll do em. As for anyone feeling wound up by wilkin's nonsense, here's a bit of therapy. 3m 8s in, or thereabouts https://youtu.be/4Qc7rv6Wjkk

Ah Keith. The best centre this country has produced in 40 years, nobody has come close since he retired.

Smith's press conference was excellent on the disciplinary issue. Can't disagree with anything he said. Basically they are being way too hard on players in terms of bans, and they are charging players for what are clearly accidental incidents which occur simply because players have to make contact to tackle opponents. He also mentioned the impact on fans in terms of everyone wanting the best players available and made some interesting points about the fact that clubs don't appear in person, which makes it difficult to make sure everyone is seeing the same evidence.

He certainly went on about it at length and it sounds as though there may be movements afoot in the off season.

Does anyone have a link to the Kasiano incident that keeps getting referenced?

I tell you something, the lads will be hugely fired up for this given what's gone on. I'm sure Smith is using it as a siege mentality.

I was thinking that but on reflection I'm not sure smiths that kind of coach.
