Heineken Champions Cup - Round of 16 (2nd Leg)

[munstermuffin]

Leinster get shite seeding and still fluke easy last 16 and q/f draw

 

[big ginger 8]

Yep real ones are on the Freddie Burns for Ireland

WHY ISNT HE IN THE 7S SQUAD?

 

[Gavin]

What does Sam Warburton bring to the commentary?

For me, absolutely nothing.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Warburton started out great on comms but they've slowly ground him down,
BOD has gone the same way IMO

A shame because they really looked like they'd be the breath of fresh air rugby comms needs

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

The coaching with BOD was obvious. Had to apologise for referring to Leinster as "we" in his first game, months after retirement.

Was bland and barely good for a soundbite within 12 months. Has finally balanced it out with Leinster though, went incredibly harsh against them to balance out.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I do like it when pundits pretend to be big fans of relatively unknown players

Ugo waxing lyrical about Tom Roebuck as if he didn't have to check his notes before they went live to remember his name

Does the UK still have covid-related attendance restrictions? Wondering why the stadium there in Bristol isn't full

Big stadium, crap season, last weeks game an absolute stinker - doesn't add up to casual interest

 

[Rinkadink]

How is that pass from Faf which crosses over his own 5m line not given as forward? He was running parallel with it too.

You'd have to pay 27,000 people to watch Sale, exciting draw that they are.

(Real answer is that the match isn't covered by season tickets/all pay, COVID and Good Friday holiday when people usually go away)

Any why is Bristol wearing Harlequins-esque uniforms?

They've no identity of their own so have to steal others

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Pass of the season.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sheedy getting outpaced by a hooker haha

 

[Rinkadink]

Supposed to represent the city.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Any why is Bristol wearing Harlequins-esque uniforms?

cause apparently you aren't supposed to be able turn on the tv and tell who the teams are this weekend I guess

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bevan should've been an openside, really

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Some great ball handling there for the try

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Very close, but can't argue with the yellow

 

[Rinkadink]

England have broken Randall.
