Well no-ne ever posts about Rugby Union but never mind!

In the stupidly ridiculous Zurich Wildcard Championship thing Leicester Tigers ( :clap: ) beat Saracens 27-20 after extra time.

And in the Zurich Premiership Title match Gloucester (the deserved winners of the title after being 15 points clear at the end of the league) were thumped by Wasps at a huge 39-3!!!!!!!

I didn't personally mind about Gloucester losing but it still isn't really fair but that's the way the cookie crumbles I suppose! :lol:

Anyway...anyone want to add anything else?

EDIT for grammar

As a Gloucester supporter I was one of many to boycott today's match because this is nothing but a cynical way for the Rugby authorities to earn more money. Gloucester finished 15 points clear of everyone else in the Zurich Premiership yet because they lost today (and I had a feeling they would lose) they are not declared Zurich Premiership champions. Just completely ridiculous and the Rugby authorities have lost all credibility because of this shameful excuse for what they say is an end of season treat.

I am a Tigers fan DarkAvenger and felt the same way about the "final" we were in. I didn't feel in all honesty that we deserve to be in Europe after the season we have had (the only good thing for me was beating Gloucester....). I did watch and did support the lads as they went out and did the business but it still does not compare to what was done to Gloucs today as they were robbed of a title that was rightfully theirs/yours.

I honestly did feel sorry for Vickery in his interview and for all of the fans after what has been an obviously dominant season for Gloucester!
