Why does the ref need it explained in words of one syllable FFS?

Ugly tackle; head to thigh, & he was clearly sparked out

Big blow for Bath, two of their back rowers and best players taken out in quick succession.

Bath are at least trying, unlike Montpellier, but it really is the game you get when you pit a rusty international team against the worst team in the Prem.

Last pass was clearly fwd. It doesn't matter if the margin is already a cricket score, apply the f**king laws.
Pass was fine in my view.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sat Jan 22, 2022 2:30 pm Last pass was clearly fwd. It doesn't matter if the margin is already a cricket score, apply the f**king laws.
Bath players should be ashamed to collect their salaries.
There has to be some sort of compensation for such a public embarrassment....ASMO wrote: Sat Jan 22, 2022 2:33 pmPass was fine in my view.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sat Jan 22, 2022 2:30 pm Last pass was clearly fwd. It doesn't matter if the margin is already a cricket score, apply the f**king laws.

Does Sheehan think, he only gets his match fee, if he scores ?

I've got this idea about substitutes if things are going badly wrong...JM2K6 wrote: Sat Jan 22, 2022 3:09 pm Leinster are a terrifying team who deserve a much better tournament than this season's farce to show how good they are.
Hope Quins don't have to play them at any point, we'd get marmalised.

With feeble prep like this, they'll probably come unstuck against a team that actually puts up a resistance.JM2K6 wrote: Sat Jan 22, 2022 3:09 pm Leinster are a terrifying team who deserve a much better tournament than this season's farce to show how good they are.

It'd just be the same teams with the same issues. There's no level playing field in European competitions so it'll always have numerous mismatches.
Leinster are a terrific side and should win the Cup at a canter.
Have to say though, the Strength of all the Irish sides is very formidable - all 4 going through to the next round is a superb effort. Shame this year's tournament has been turned into a bit of a farce - Cardiff are likely to qualify despite losing all the games they've played

Took kids out instead of watching the Bath game, sounds like the right call.
Competitive for about 10 mins, then it all goes to ratshit and our best players get crocked.
Let's all agree to pretend this season never happened.

But that's what scares me about them. Bath are dogshit and Leinster were far from perfect but they still brought incredible intensity.Uncle fester wrote: Sat Jan 22, 2022 4:49 pmWith feeble prep like this, they'll probably come unstuck against a team that actually puts up a resistance.JM2K6 wrote: Sat Jan 22, 2022 3:09 pm Leinster are a terrifying team who deserve a much better tournament than this season's farce to show how good they are.

What do you expect? That was most of the Irish side that defeated the ABs in November. 5 of the Irish pack including the entire backrow. Would have been 6 had Furlong played. Sexton, Keenan and Gibson-Park (ok, he didn't start for Ireland) too. Larmour, Henshaw and RIngrose all intls.
The only surprise should be that they don't win everything at a canter.
