[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 162045"] I'm surprised they didn't put out their strongest team for this match. This is arguably the hardest game for any team in the pool, so surely they want to put in a big effort to win it. The Heineken Cup isn't going to resume until December, so even if they put out a 'weaker' team for this game just to preserve their full-strength side for games they thought they have a better chance of winning (Llanelli/Wasps) it would be in vain, since they'd have plenty of time to prepare their side for those games in the later months (even if they were to lose with their ful-strength squad). [/b][/quote] I think it was done more with the Top 14 in mind rather than the later games against Wasps and Llanelli. [/QUOTE]
