Champions Cup 2024 / 25 - Round 4

[ShropshireAllBlack]

Shocking defence from Scannell there…

 

[Jimbo]

Hate how strict the not rolling calls can be, Munster apparently 'not held' several times in the last 10 minutes, ensure they are and get held in and pinged for it.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Nothing wrong with that, contact across the chest/shoulders

Yeah you are taking a big risk tackling like that, but in this instance it's perfect and bloody affective.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Munster winning this with a 80+ min dropgoal would be so insanely Munster

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Insane turnover

 

[Groundhog]

Think we got hard done by a few times there but played quite well with being honest a way less than full strength team. Not too disappointed.

I like the way we are playing now, structures are good and we play a nice brand!

Crowley was great today I thought. Coombes and Beirne as well. Both wings excellent going forward and a bit suspect in defense

Crowley was immense behind a pack that wasn't always in control.

The attack looked blunt at times, but with players returning, nobody will fancy playing against Munster in the round of 16.

Battles all over the field here for Bath V Leinster. Russell vs Ireland's third best outhalf. Van Graan vs Cullen for the ***le of person I'd least like to have a pint with. Highest average income per fan…. Game has it all

Yes to be honest our control at the ruck was killer for us. Pack carried reasonably well, but it's refreshing for us to have backs that can create scores. We typically used to rely on our pack to bully teams into submission but they dynamic is changing a bit!

Altogether that was a great European game. Credit to Saints they have an excellent partisan crowd. We are natural rivals but I have a lot of time for them.

 

[duncanb]

Saints, Munster again a cracker.

 

[Groundhog]

In all seriousness I think Leinster will have their merry way here. Second row kinda typifies it for me.

 

[Gavin]

Relegate Leinster

 

[TRF_Olyy]

There's more testosterone in Barbeary's perm than the entire Leinster pack

 

[Groundhog]

Prendergast got the people's hammer there

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Henshaw selling his "wingers" out here.

 

[Groundhog]

Leinster haven't got off the bus here yet. Have to feel they'll find their feet eventually

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bath gonna do the double this season

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Players take my criticism on here personally.

 

[Jimbo]

How the **** was that a rolling pen..
