European Champions Cup 25/26 - Round 2

[Leonormous Boozer]

Hope Munster bounce back and hammer Glos here.

I also expect a very close one in Bordeaux. 8 - 10 try difference max

 

[Jimbo]

Stupid from Sarries in these conditions why would you not just tap and go a man up!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Who the **** are the Top 14 anyway?

Not seen the game but will watch it when I get back from a Christmas party later absolutely bladdered

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I ******* hate Michael Ala'alatoa (purely when he is on a rugby pitch playing rugby, I'm sure he's a good man who gives his best).

Bad bad start from Munster

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Little lucky but Munster needed that. Should kick on

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

There is something wrong with the European Champions cup when so many teams dont pick their best players for every game.

 

[Gavin]

Is it just me, or are the Munster and Gloucester tops a bit too similar?

Some of the high camera angles it is difficult to tell the difference

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

That's a straight red.

Edit: I hate what rugby has become.

Munster are playing a 2nd string Glaws and making hard work of it. I’m sure they’ll pull away after 60 minutes, but they’re unimpressive to say the least….

 

[Rinkadink]

Red for the simulation, right?

I just got in to see that, missing the earlier try. Wasn't the "try" a double movement? Caught it at half time and whoever scored it seemed to propel themselves forward after tackle and over line to ground. Was it reviewed?

 

[ShropshireAllBlack]

I thought kicking was Crowley’s super power?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I wonder if Zebo's contract with Premier sport defines the services he provides as commentator or cheerleader. Betting on the latter.

The size of Edogbo's legs...

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Pretty similar to yesterday's match except Gloucester never had a lead to protect. Scoreline flatters but enough there to build on for Munster.

I miss Rob Russell at Leinster, just a fun guy to watch.

 

[ShropshireAllBlack]

Struggling to understand the hype around Edogbo. I have seen nothing thus far.

Munster hoping for a game against a disinterested French team to progress….

 

[Rinkadink]

Bench really counted for both Munster and Glaws. Was a good contest until the last quarter.

 

[Gavin]

Dupont being Dupont.

Wild that it was all Glasgow and they were looking dangerous, then one movement from Toulouse and they score.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Toulouse's ability to go from a flat and static backline to under the sticks is unbelievable.

 

[Gavin]

That final pass did look forward from Dupont. Wild it wasn't properly checked.

 

[Groundhog]

Ok with that performance from Munster. A lot of our core players (Beirne, Crowley, Carey, Kleyn) were all quite poor, but we gotta job done. Fully should have put 60 on that shower.

When we switched the front row and had Edogbo in the row we started turning that scrum.

Casey MOTM was as an odd call, not sure who is have given it to but not him.
