If they played in the traditional rugby supporters heartlands then they might have. For this game they took it to the townships to try and spread the game to a part of the population that does not really care about rugby (yet?)
Bilbao, a week of heavy drinking and then Glasgow might be a bit much for the boys. Gonna have to work some magic twice against Scarlets during the 6 nations. (I reckon we've the toughest fixture list of any contenders)I'm pretty shocked by the reasonable performances of Glasgow, Edinburgh (to a lesser extent) and Treviso (not even a winning BP for Scarlets) without many of their internationals. It's so unpredictable I'm even starting to doubt that Leinster will choke in the knockout stages.
Connacht looking fairly solid. If they win here, I'll be 5 out of 7 for the week and it will open up Conference A a bit more too.
While they're improving that last sentence is a huge exaggeration. Leinster got a bp win away to Glasgow in Europe and Embra are behind Ulster, who are miserable at the moment, in the league table. Glasgow would be the second best province and Edinburgh are probably around the level of Ulster and Connacht at the moment.
It's not though is it. They have two teams, we have four all at a decent level when they come to play. Glasgow are very good, whacked Munster, but bottle it in Europe year on year shipping two disappointing losses so far (one at home to Leinster for a BP) and Edinburgh are improving, but they still lost to Treviso and scraped past Zebre by a point this year and aren't on a provincial level yet.
Oh so easy to trigger the irish
Aye, because that was an incredibly overly emotive post... Did you just make the comment with the intention of trolling so?
