Going to say Clermont by 8...they will grind down the Sarries

And I think Leinster is terrible, so still not sure how they keep winning. So I am going Toulon by 12....lot more if they are interested

Hopefully all the starters are back this week. Lost a close one to Oyonnax in Top 14 play last weekend.

First time I've seen any rugby on ESPN3 in years, albeit I don't usually look but today they are airing the Challenge Cup Semi between Exeter vs Gloucester.

Its on right now 28 minutes in tied 3 a piece.

ESPN3 ended up showing the Champion Cup Semi on Sunday too but I slept to late to watch it live. Its nice to see ESPN airing more rugby games. Back when I first started watching rugby that's where I would go to watch Top 14 games.


Anyway classic european power rugby kick for goal type matches this weekend. Both games were close throughout and tension backed.


Sets up now for an all French Final at Twickenham which may very well be repeated the following weekend for the Top 14 Final if both teams make it through, currently the top two teams on the table.

ESPN3 is starting to show Top 14 games again!


They have a replay of the La Rochelle v Toulon match from this weekend which I'd recommend watching. Really fun game with lots of running rugby.

Looks like they are! That's awesome we'll be able to watch it live.

European Champions Cup

5/02
12:00 PM EDT
Toulon vs. Clermont (Final) (European Champions Cup)
ESPN3





Looks like they have a replay of the Challenge Cup Final between Gloucester Rugby vs. Edinburgh.

They must have aired it earlier today live but I forgot to look. Anyway ESPN3 is stepping up with the European Rugby which they should since they already broadcast plenty of those games on their European networks.


They wont show Super Rugby on ESPN cause DirectTV has the US broadcast rights for Super Rugby.

Oh there's more than one I just pick the matches that look the most interesting and all the other Super Rugby matches this weekend are between teams at the top of the table vs teams at the bottom.

Watch the Clermont vs Gernoble game though and you'll see why I'm a big Clermont fan as you won't find a better atmosphere in all of club rugby.

Oh well turns out game is actually in Gernoble but they have a pretty good home crowd even if its not Clermont.


10-3 Clermont at the 13 minute mark right now. Clermont trying to stay in the top two in order to get homefield for the semis.
