Champions Cup 24/25 - Round 1

[Gavin]

Why waste time going for a lineout or scrum at a penalty.

Tap and go. Everything else is wasting time.

Not getting 2 bonus points against 12 Sharks is awful game management

 

[Stade Rochelais]

The European Rugby Cup has lost its charm.
To see teams from South Africa playing in the northern hemisphere is a pure rugby abomination.
Let them return to Super Rugby.
I really doubt that the opposite would have been accepted by the leaders of rugby in the southern hemisphere.
The organizers who congratulate themselves in terms of ticket sales.
In Europe yes, but certainly not in South Africa with sadly empty stadiums. But even so, traveling 12,000 km for a match, so 24,000 round trips, is nonsense.

We need to organize a petition to expel them from European competitions and for them to find compromises to improve their calendar with NZ, Australia and Argentina for super rugby.

Did they just pick and go or something?

I guess Exeter are hoping the Nic White rumour comes true and he heads there. Could do with some leadership by the sound of things?

Agreed, wasted time and embarrassing to get zero points from being against 12 men. We are a worse team but I could have told you that before the game, we arnt in a good place.

 

[Gavin]

That was a nasty head contact by the Toulon player

 

[saulan]

We are just terrible. Generally just need this season overall to end. Too many injuries and nowhere near enough depth.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Colour of thst Munster jersey is awful. Stade win that battle.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Unsure how that isn't a red tbh

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Little bit of BOD about that try, lovely.

Stade are a desperately bad side.

Is the review bunker not being used during the tournament? Appears not.

Great try.

The South African winger seems to have been an excellent signing by Munster

 

[Groundhog]

What a ridiculous soft little Call from a soft little **** who has no place reffing this game

You are 100% right. Zero leadership on the pitch for the period against 12 players. Our 9 still just taking short lines off forwards. I knew we were going to lose (have you seen that squad?!?!) but we had a bonus point (at least) on a plate, we took that plate wore it as a hat.

On reflection I may have said some things I didn’t mean. I meant to call him worse

I thought you were being ridiculously easy on him and was surprised that you needed to be triggered by a decision rather than his mere presence.

Munster would want to run in at least three tries this half. Unconvincing asf so far against a weak outfit.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Red red red red red and red.

 

[Groundhog]

In the interest of balance that’s also extremely harsh

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Ultimately I think that is a red, but that's much lower danger than the yellow earlier in the game

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Didn't see the one in the first half but that swinging arm is asking for a few weeks off.

 

[Gavin]

Surely O'Mahony should be off for an HIA

A younger me would insult POM right now but I respect him now.

Jesus, Stade have lost the rag altogether.
