The second game is on ESPN Classic which I don't appear to have. Where should I look for a link, please?
(A hint will suffice!)

Is this being recorded on a (just the one) mobile phone? De picture quality is crap.

Missed first half but its dreadful based on the last 20 mins

Wasps v Quins was some match - excellent stuff
I realised I was dyslexic when I went to a toga party dressed as a goat
LI are brutal, and to think they beat us well last week. Score Saracens 38 LI 3
as od says the english game is superb...so far ahead of ours. thats why theyve won all those heineken cups in recent years and countless grand slams.
infact everything english is brilliant esp the soccer. liverpool overwhelming hearts at anfield and chelsea proved just how crap the spanish league is in the week
Have u ever seen english hurling? incredible stuff...kilkenny are lucky they dont have to play an english team or they would be bet out of the gate....even the grass on their pitches are greener than ours
If the lessons of history teach us anything it is that nobody learns the lessons that history teaches us.
Examiner saying today that Tomas' debut was a mare, doesn't clarify if his own game was bad or just the team in general?
Con Artist
Tomas was playing behind a beaten pack in a team who looked devoid of any structure even for the periods where they did have the ball. He was taken off as he was clearly blown up, legs gone, partially one suspects due to the amount of ground he had to cover but possibly suspect conditioning at this stage of the season. Not a good performance by him either way

Taz-Where did you get that information as I have seen nowhere that he(Penney) was ruled out?
Editor - The writer stands by the Penney information.

Editor-- This article originally said Rob Penney had missed out on the Munster coaching job. That information was incorrect.
Was literally about to post the same thing...presumably this 'exclusive rights' claim is a nonsense given that the ERC select the broadcast partner or are we going the way of Italian football for example where clubs/unions negotiate their own deals? I would not consider myself particularly anti-english but this sort of thing really does grate somewhat.

London Wasps have confirmed that a consortium has taken full ownership of the Premiership club.
The group, driven by the former Wasps flanker Ken Moss, had been in talks for several months to take charge at Adams Park.
Contracts were recently exchanged, with the consortium purchasing shares held by the previous Wasps owner, Steve Hayes.
The club confirmed that they will continue to play at Adams Park in Wycombe "for the foreseeable future", but added that the new owners had placed a "long-term priority" on developing a new stadium.
The former Wasps captain Mark Rigby will remain in his current role of club chairman, while David Thorne has already started work as the club's new chief executive.
Rigby said: "We are delighted to confirm the completion of the sale process following the agreement of terms in recent months. It has undoubtedly been a lengthy process and there have been some complex financial issues involved, but we are pleased that the situation finally has been resolved.

Not much discussion about this season's APL, but last weekend's games again provided plenty of entertainment and some very good tries. Most of the games were close, but poor London Welsh got hit for 40 by Quins and, after two games, look way out of their depth in the APL.
The ref (JP Doyle - another very good performance by the ex-Terenure man) went to the TMO for a tip tackle during the very entertaining Saints - Chiefs game and settled for a yellow. The dumper - a former Blue Bull called Van Velze - was subsequently cited, pleaded guilty and was banned for 4 weeks.
Bath V Saints is live tonight and is probably worth recording for late night viewing following the faction fight in East Belfast.
Shane Monahan ex Leinster on wing for Glaws today
Just made superb break and inside pass for first try of a very tight game. He's played well
Watching Saracens and haven't been that impressed. Brits is fairly impressive as is Botha but nothing too frightening for Munster on this viewing.
To The Brave and the Faithful, Nothing is Unpublishable.
Britz is class every time I see him. Lot of grunt here with little by way of inspiration
Its so bad even the sky commentators are after acknowledging it is missing something
David Wallace, James Coughlan - Heroes, Jonathan Davies
Sarries lethal at breakdown in fairness. Giving away v few pens and winning loads
Flood just missed a sitter, so much fail
David Wallace, James Coughlan - Heroes, Jonathan Davies
Hodgson misses a sitter now, pure and utter tripe of a match
David Wallace, James Coughlan - Heroes, Jonathan Davies
A draw in a game neither side deserved to win
David Wallace, James Coughlan - Heroes, Jonathan Davies
all over, Flood fluffed a DG attempt, mainly due to the fact his 9 and his pack couldnt organise a piss up inside a brewery, neverminds two pods and gain line.
Shyte game
I am the million man.
Agreed.
An abysmal game, and pretty poorly reffed too, by a ref who couldn't cope with the institutionalised cheating that has been drilled into both sides. I'd say that quite a few of the > 41,000 suckers who paid in to Wembley to watch that junk won't be back. Of course, crap rugby is normal fare for Sarries whose coaches clearly believe that rugby is a game created by the devil that needs to be destroyed. 'twas sad to see the Tigers sinking to their level, after having achieved the 4 try bonus in 9 of their previous 10 APL games.)
Friday night's Bath - Saints game was equally mediocre* (I didn't manage to watch the Worcester/Glawster draw), so this weekend's live APL selection came a very poor second to the excellent Pro12 fare on offer in Ravenhill (a game that was very poorly reffed by Saint Alain of Cornmarket, IMHO).
* big worry for Saints over Foden's ankle injury - could be a break, or ligament damage.
UPDATE - London Welsh have just achieved their first APL win, beating Exeter, 25 - 24. This leaves the Not-nots firmly anchored at the bottom of the APL table.
