What’s the point of showing Goode trotting off after a yellow card without showing the offence?

[@James-dv6hb]

I would like to apologise to Owen Farrel, I was at Loftus and the booing and negativity directed at him was insane!😢 I know he is currently going through a very difficult time, and therefore hope and pray hell keep his head up. From a massive Bulls fan.

[@tsaki_titan]

Shut up!! He deserves every single boo and more he gets.

[@garyambrosini1427]

Well said

[@kevinmatthewjoubert9650]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@michaelkeegan9260]

Owen farrel has behaved like an absolute tool for years and now that people really dont like him he wants to play the innocent little victim. People recognise the grift. He's copying the prince Harry playback. It's only a matter of time till he accuses his own family of victimising him.

[@rejectwokeness1314]

The no arm tackle thing has gone stupid. Yes its silly and reckless of Vunipola but in mitigation it didn't even connect properly with anyone. I thought a yellow would suffice, and a red only if it makes a decent connection with an opponent.

[@DonovanBanks]

His intention was to smash the guys head. He got lucky he missed. Sanction should be the same. No place for that in the game.

[@Tom_Harding]

Are the camera angles correct for the Billy red? Was he actually sent off for that?

[@liamgibson7471]

Thanks for not putting the result in the title!

[@andrewharris1837]

Bulls lookin sharp.Saracens at their worse with cynical yellows and red looked sluggish without Earl😮

I thought we’d put 50 past Saracens. Better than I expected. And 14 men for most of second half

[@leonabc298]

What a pity we had to have the usual low class gom-gatte booing kickers and casting shade on an otherwise great performance. Something we are used to seeing from French and Argentinian crowds, but disappointing to see that elements of the Loftus crowd still aren’t able to display sportsmanship nor respect the spirit of the game. The players and rugby loving spectators deserve better, that’s why I don’t go to Loftus with my sons anymore. It’s unpleasant.

[@davesmith826]

Seemed like a poorly attended match as well. It would have been jam-packed twenty years ago if an elite northern hemisphere club side had come to town.

[@theofilusbouwer3430]

15000 Attended loftus staduim can hold 51 000 sarasens stadium in London England can only hold 10 500.

[@theofilusbouwer3430]

Judging fans for booing kickers when it is something that happens everywhere remember that in super rugby compitition even when pollard was taking critical kicks at world cup 2023 poeple where booing so your gonna stop watching rugby then.😂

[@JinxRugby]

stormers idiots make us like that

[@leonabc298]

@@theofilusbouwer3430 As I said, this is something we expect from Argentina and France. Because it happens elsewhere you think it’s ok? There is a reason that so many people don’t attend Loftus games anymore. Visit any other stadium in the country and you will find a much friendlier environment that you can take your family to without having to deal with the inebriated louts.

[@ronewamphahlele6191]

I guess if it is like this then kaizer chiefs, orlando pirates and mamelodi sundowns should play in the uefa champions league and Europa league.

[@smartalecc]

Those people are queueing to get refunds for the money they spent watching SA teams be a no show at the first 5 rounds of the comp.. (and I'm S African). If the Northern-Southern hemisphere divide means home team will have an easy win 90% of the time.. this comp might struggle to gather interest. I hope that's not the case

[@mauricegarvey4631]

More away wins this wknd than usual all the same. The EC used to be group stage, 4 teams, play each other away and home (6 games), top 2 into quarter finals. Better format

Would it be so difficult for supporters actually to attend matches in South Africa?

[@user-pk5pr8rv4g]

You forget our stadiums are 50k seaters so our attendance is about the same as yours in these early rounds, it just looks empty. Also, half of our fans live in Europe now. No one wants to live in SA anymore

First 😂 And where are all these people who said SA teams shouldn't be in European Comps😂 Cheetahs,Sharks and the bulls have won

[@thulanishirilele4378]

😂 good question

[@teocarre4026]

cheetahs beat the worst team in the 2nd tier tournament and sharks beat pau who never get out of the group stage again in the 2nd tier tournament, bulls have done well here but you are overestimating how well the SA teams have done so far.

[@amberjaftha346]

They are still in the comment sections unfortunately

[@wolfburner2262]

Still, Only one SA team reached the quarters last time

[@wolfburner2262]

Its more of a question is it profitable. And the champions cup just like the champions league traditionally only allowed European teams so...

The SA teams have been included only for financial reasons. The SA clubs cannot live without this competition. Where is the public in the stadiums...!? Hiw can the team travelling on long haul flights wether to SA or to Europe be in the same shape than the ones receiving at home. This competition is a pure nonsense also for the planet. I am not blaming the SA clubs but the Rugby international organization

I'm all for Norther V Southern hemisphere teams playing, its something ive wanted for ages. But whilst some European clubs are struggling with finances so greatly, it doesnt sit well seeing non european teams in European games. Nothing against the Bulls, they were great, and I'd love to see a better format, that is more sustainable for all teams

[@davesmith826]

I'd love to know how southern hemisphere teams are taking money from struggling northern hemisphere clubs, especially when they play them in competitions that generate revenue for them in home matches.

[@alexchamberlayne8884]

@davesmith826 last season 3 Premiership teams folded, Welsh rugby is on a knife edge. Teams that could lap up the extra money from playing un the top European competitions. I completely understand that South African teams were escaping potential troubles in Super Rugby and wish them the best, I love diversity in playstyle they offer. But when some core historic European teams are vanishing or on the brink of falling apart, it's a really difficult situation

[@wernertukker5420]

@@alexchamberlayne8884but you’d have to put it to the respective boards, for mismanagement of funds and not creating other avenues of income. It’s not football, so the TV money is all there either. Maybe, those nations need to do more to grow the game in their own back yard, and they may stand the test of time. Blaming their collapses on the Saffa’s is just deflecting the blame to where it actually belong. We enrich both these competitions and have breathed much needed life into them. Yeah, we aren’t European, but you are better off having us compete with you
