Champions Cup 25/26 - Round 3

[big ginger 8]

That's a weak set of props. Wonder if Lowe is dropped or injured, can't find anything?

This will be tough.

Certainly the weakest team we've played in Europe for a long time. Which I admit is a pretty privileged position. Expect the starting props to stay on for a long time if possible.

Fully loaded LAR as well. Big opportunity for some of our newer lads at least.

Why are you playing a child at 9?

Haha. Friday does look exceptionally young. Great exposure for him though.

Definitely a weaker team from us, particularly on the bench. Front row is fine, loose forwards ok and then most of the backline first choice atm (from 12 onwards). Feel like this one will either be close or quite close or Harlequins comfortable (probably what they need given current form). Could be our first loss of the season.

Suprized Stormers not targetting this. Toulon and Toulouse have both lost so winning this Pool probably gives Stormers home advantage all the way to a final..a massive reward and this is the key match. They will deal with Leicester at home.

That's a weak set of props.

I see your weak set of props and raise you:

We'd need to play out of our skins. Toulon just have too much in the tight 5 for us to be honest. Ben O'Connor clearly rated by McMillan anyway.

Strong forward pack versus Leinster. My feeling against Connacht was that handling and accuracy were worked on before that match and in preparation for this one. Leinster's attack should make the difference but a tough match beckons.

Does anyone know if you can get a premier sports day pass anywhere?

 

[big ginger 8]

Porter and Lowe confirmed injured.

Snyman and Ringrose back next week. Keenan a few weeks away.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Shame no Lowe, he and Nowell could've had the slowest foot race in recorded human history

Disappointed Stormers are sending a B team on tour. IMO if you are in it, be in it.

I really can't wait for PS to go under, absolute garbage product

Sounds like the perfect fit for EPCR.

If you get it working, will you post score updates? Can't be bothered to even try

Living for the glory days of Sky Sports buildup, or the RTE coverage.

They'll never truly go under, they'll just come back with a new name. Long live Setanta Sports.
