Ospreys have Covid, Benetton are Europe's contenders. Legitimately hilarious.

 

[Groundhog]

@The Shitsprays. I hope you burn in hell. A warm day in Swansea will suffice though. A fitting end to a mess of a tournament.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

You'd have to fear for the Bulls really. Could get very messy for them if they lose to a clothes company.

Also Benetton doesn't get enough credit for being a great brand.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I've not been paying attention - are Treviso really ahead of Leinster/Munster??

Leinster threw the kids out against Munster and also lost to Glasgow to celebrate Luke McGrath's career in perfect fashion on his 150th cap. Munster choked against Connacht. Benetton had a **** easy run, didn't choke against Connacht and got a forfeit.

 

[Groundhog]

Connacht decided to have one of their meaningful performances they save exclusively for Irish teams for us, yeah. Still should have hammered them. We'd still have gone through if the hair sprays had beaten Benneton this weekend, but throwing their legs over birds who look like the Samiad from Five Children & It probably took preference.

Benneton had the unique joy of playing Zebre twice, the Glasgow under 9's and Connacht who are the worlds foremost experts on ******** the bed.

If Benneton win I will bust my gut laughing though. Fully behind them even if we got a bit shafted
