The cup everyone wants but don't want to admit it.

Strong squad, should be a good game, Brive haven't exactly been amazing this season

 

[EdBirch]

Hoping for a good win considering they sacked their Head Coach yesterday

Newcastle playing well, especially considering the number of changes they've made

Hows the greatest England U20 to have played the game Sam Moore doing?

I just had to google to see if he was actually in the 23 (apparently he started at 8!)
Honestly I thought he'd gone to Newport, from us, not Cardiff

Benetton beat Stade Francais in Paris 44-20! (That must have been a very understrength SF team).

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Cardiff win at Newcastle 33-20, albeit the former were closer to full-strength than the latter.

Ospreys beat Castres 39-15 though the match was closer than the scoreline might suggest.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

That Brive defender was having none of it lol

[Tooting Carmen]

The French teams seem to be taking it even less seriously than in previous years (after all, look how well they've done so far in the Champions Cup).

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Ospreys the marginally better of the two teams, though how close to full-strength is that Worcester side?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Cardiff vs Stade is off,
28-0 to Cardiff as Stade didn't travel

Or rather have chosen not to do so, as they are scared about having caught Covid from Benetton players despite all testing negative.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Choosing not to travel = not travelling

Looks like Bayonne are pulling out of the cup

Seems French teams looking at boycotting Europe completely now. Alot of clubs in panic as this could financially ruin a few
