Mad stuff.

What a ******* game

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

LOL

All cause Cardiff blew their load too early

 

[Reiser99]

Wondering if TMO will go back for foul play again. Looked like a dangerous clear out.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Rona has been so good for Irish

 

[Reiser99]

Cardiff threw that away. Well played Irish.

10 Current Welsh internationals in that Cardiff team

True.

Would have won with English star back rower Sam Moore

Another year another crap performance by a Welsh side in Europe. Plus ca change...

Haven't played a game together all season and it showed at times when it come to organisation and game management.

Pretty hard to take that, but a massive well done to London Irish for keeping their composure and taking the game to the end!

Jarrod Evans really struggles when the pressure is on. Unplayable at times, but in this game he made a number of errors and it cost the team dearly.

Good half of rugby, that

Ospreys completely dominant for the first 20-30, but Newcastle right back into it now thanks to a couple of cards and a couple of tries

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

WOW Saints damn

 

[TRF_Olyy]

WOW Saints damn

Doing a London Irish

"Oh we're losing? Better score a couple of quickfire tries"

Henry Taylor has looked really good since coming on - have to keep reminding myself it's not Reinach out there, even looks like him

That or Welsh clubs going "we better switch off"

 

[Reiser99]

3 Welsh sides not quite making it. Wonder if that trend will continue?

What's the craic with the Leicester selection?

Henry at 15 and Steward on the bench seems...odd
and no Ford in the 23, but Youngs starts

Just seems a bit...erratic. Like they're taking it seriously, but not tooooo seriously

Doesn't want to stain his coaching career with a challenge cup ***le

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Seriously though I think mix of managing international players and using the challenge cup more to rotate players give them a chance.

Henry....yikes
