Massive game for Bath to show that their hopes of being a top European club aren't just all hot air. Big opportunity for some players to prove themselves as well - Sela being given his head against Gros is absolutely massive and it's a huge opportunity for Arundell and Ojomoh to put down a marker for England selection.

Slight concern is that Toulon's scrum halves each have more international caps than Bath's SH's have club matches between them

Been quite impressed with Carr-Smith this season. Good chance for him and a few others to make a mark.

How we're people getting Flo rugby to work?
I thought it was VPN to USA, then the YouTube channel - which only has highlights for this week?

I live in Germany but as you say VPN to USA, then straight to florugby.com. I have a yearly account with them.

Not working for me, but I've got it through the French (I'd have preferred the Americans if I could - at least I'd understand it)

Is that not a flying wedge for Toulon's try?

Seemed like it was a full maul without any Bath players involved (and thus not a maul)?

Or am I just showing that I've never been a forward?

Interesting that both teams are going for posts - don't see a lot of that these days (until the final 10 minutes, anyway)

I like that invention for the Toulon trick play.

Gotta be confident in your other 7 though

Gros getting absolutely nothing out of Sela. Very impressive.

Actually glad Toulon scored their 2nd try - otherwise it was a PT & YC against Finn for the tackle of Kyle.
Not a bad high tackle, but a penalty offence that created a probable try.

Was a very good display from Sela. Gros went for him a few times and he weathered it very well.

Very promising to hear. How was he in the loose as well?

Very active. Made a shit tonne of tackles.

I thought Gros had him once. Absolutely went for him and started to shift him, but Sela adjusted and countered perfectly to get parity,. Was a very good display from the young man.
