Heineken Champions Cup - Rd 4

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Anyone believe that statement, though?

It's like when Sale named a team to play Worcester at the end of 19-20, but they cancelled the game anyway because our training ground was basically ground zero for COVID and every day more people kept dropping

Naming a theoretical side and then having the same ones go out and play are two different things, and claiming European rugby actively don't want Toulouse to progress or are biased against them in some way is laughable

Especially when Dupont is one of the biggest draws they have

Well then by that logic did Leinster do the same thing?
Also tbh Sale are full of liars.

Think Leinster did four rounds of PCRs and five rounds of antigens to their matchday squad and all came back negative and they caught it early enough to pen off their matchday squad. Have no idea if Toulouse managed to get their matchday team through the same amount of testing etc, but either way I think cancelling the match is fine. The 28-0 vs the 0-0 remains a mystery to me though

Didn't Leinster get 0-28d?

Northampton v racing off

This could be embarrassing for Bath.

I've never been, but just from the stadium view, Bath looks like the type of place where unsanctioned wizard duels accounts for 90% of crime statistics.

Is it true Bath have replaced the drainage in the Rec since 2018?

Conditions don't look great, heard the pitch was covered last night because of freezing temperatures.

Amazing place to visit but
1. Expensive, Waitrose is considered the cheap shop around those parts.
2. Accounts for 90% of the world's Barbour sales

Does look lovely, might visit there when I'm in Bristol next. I just hope I don't get kidnapped and released in the woods to be hunted for sport by public school students.

Underhill man-moreing the entire Leinster pack

So depression levels is the only way to differentiate the fans this weekend?

Somehow the guy named Hugo isn't playing for Bath

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

That was mean D

 

[Groundhog]

JvG and Bath should be a good fit. They already have the ineffectual battering at the line thing down.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Leinster looking trash

Leinster looking trash

It's what happens when they come up against a decent team after soying it up in the URC for so long

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Trash

 

[TRF_Olyy]

URC referees are honestly the worst thing to happen to this sport

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

How the **** are Leinster being allowed that try!? Clarke was clearly held back.

Edit justice but bloody hell that took long enough.
