[QUOTE="Mr.cyclopede, post: 170523"] If Clermont had brought a few more first team players to Munster, then maybe they wouldn't be on the way out ;) [/b][/quote] I recognize this reaction was a bit violent, it was written just after the end of the match... It's also true that Bourgoin never had any pretentions in the H cup and told it from the very beginning of the season. Now I also believe Vern Cotter when he says that he never wanted to refuse the challenge by sending a B team to Munster, but only did it to alternate and give rest to players with a special heavy planning (TOP 14 starting sooner than british calendars, and big rendez-vous for Clermont). They now certainly must regret seriously the lack of self confidence they showed, but they clearly know that they are an international class club, that's definitely positive, and I'm sure some benefits will soonly be collected of this [/QUOTE]
