[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 918089, member: 13739"] Maybe, but it was a ridiculous decision to rest all their best players. I really don't like this strategy Clarke has of sending woefully under strength sides to get beaten. Happy to rotate the squad a little, but it's better to integrate a couple of youngsters here and there in an otherwise strong side. They should have been aiming for 2 from 2, putting themselves in a good poison to progress and play some knockout rugby. Winning the Challenge cup can be a great spring-board for developing sides, just look at the Cardiff Blues. I think it gave the whole squad some great self belief that they've taken into this season, and despite a few result going against them early doors, they're looking very confident and they could put themselves in a good position today to really compete in their Champions cup group. If the Ospreys miss out on progressing due to the decision by Clarke to effectively throw yesterday's game, then questions should be asked! [/QUOTE]
