Apologies for the lack of chat, but here are the talking points: Blade Thomson, Ally Miller, Sam Hidalgo-Clyne, how Jamie Bhatti and Rory Sutherland have fallen, how many Ospreys have you heard of?
There should be match reports forthcoming for both of these games although it could be Monday before they appear!
