Champions Cup 2024 / 25 - Round of 16

[TRF_Olyy]

Huge from Beirne, such a big risk to take in kickable range but it pays off

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Getting tasty

 

[TRF_Olyy]

TMO??

Edit: yeah, pointless check - looked fine live

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

What the **** was that

 

[big ginger 8]

Crowley MotM is offensive to Beirne.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bloody hell, thought Munster had ****** it when they gave away the penalty in the LR 22 after somehow regaining possession
Big balls of the ref not to give that high penalty at the end (absolutely the right call)

Hell of a game!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Commiserations Munster fans. Your team was just too good today.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

That result has got to impact Smiths Lions stock. Ouch.

Does it? Not sure any 10 in the world would have done better in a team performance that abysmal.

It's a low bar, but even by the end of the game he was the only Quins player that looked remotely like he was trying

 

[TRF_Olyy]

JP Du Preez starting for Glasgow, that's a name I've not seen in a long time!

 

[McTallshort]

Good win for Munster that

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Tigers and Warriors both look well up for this

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That try the epitome of "if you don't know what you're doing, how could the opposition?"

So much pressure absorbed by Tigers, they had to crack eventually

 

[TRF_Olyy]

40m advantage is a joke

 

[Lé Ddanno]

40m advantage is a joke

Yeah getting pretty tired of it tbh, refs seem to just let it run and run and run until there's a score

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

Double double oil and trouble for Dan Cole at that scrum.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Very good refereeing, despite what Ryan McWilson is bawling about

 

[Gavin]

Ryan Wilson is awful. No idea why he is hired

 

[McTallshort]

Yeah starters were mostly B team, bench were below that - bench tighthead was from Ampthill

Why the **** are sending b/c teams to a European game? Makes no sense to me

 

[Groundhog]

Have that RO'G

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Why the **** are sending b/c teams to a European game? Makes no sense to me

Yeah, I agree - especially with how well they did before fatigue set in and the replacements became an issue

I didn't read the article but did see that McCall said in the press that because of where they are in the Prem table they were prioritising the premiership over it - guessing injuries and international rest meant they had to make a choice between focusing on last week or this week (resting players not an option for their home game at Spurs stadium) and chose last week to go full strength
