If Jonno can't win with a £20m budget he'll not break much delft here, should have went for Alex Sanderson, Jonno Out :D
He was interviewed at some point during the game and asked what he hoped for in the rest of the game. He said he wanted Clermont to get a yellow card.

If there is a God, he obviously doesn't give a f&ck about rugby. Ashton's dive was an open goal for any right thinking deity.

Would be in keeping​ with the Christian god. He's a sick bar steward.

Clermont were able to turn sarries over more than any other team of late. Individual skill or good coaching?

Really hate seeing that rich man's plaything of a club winning the top prize again. It's just not right.
What percentage of that crowd yesterday were Saracens supporters?

Good news for Ulster. Rule changes for next year means top 7 in pro 12 qualify regardless of country. Poor Italians shafted although the tournament set up always guaranteed 2 qualifiers from their group.

Having stood up for the Italians for years, particularly on the notion of relegating them from the 6Ns, this is one move that I think just had to come.

Having a team finish 10th or 11th and getting an SDC place is not sustainable year after year. It may actually see one of them reach a Parker Pen quarter-final sometime in the next decade.

One change I wouldn't condemn, however, the SDC is the poor man's HC, ruined beyond repair. Whether the 7th placed Pro12 fare any better than the Eyetalians remains to be seen but if they occasionally stop a group being a 2 team formality all well and good.

About time. The Italian teams have had years to progress and have not done so. They are not adding anything to Pro12 or European rugby. Can't just keep hoping they will do something.

Actually makes it harder for The English and French sides as they had a better chance of the Italian side, then got top ranking that secured home quarter against a lower qualifier
