PRC - 24/25

[Which Tyler]

26:0 after 30 minutes.
Switches off

A good Bedford team came back into it.
A little panic when we tried to swirch back on.
Did manage to concentrate, and looked comfortable again for the last 20.

 

[Which Tyler]

It's the day for upsets.
Glos 7-7 Hartpury
Bedford 23-14 Bristol - 5 day turnaround for Bedford
Sale 19-20 Doncaster - try for Rokoduguni

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sounds like a shocker for us - unsurprisingly terrible in the red zone turning down multiple easy passes for tries to keep plugging away for a pick and go try and end up getting turned over or giving away a penalty
One of the few times we did spin it it ended up in a 7pt intercept try to lose us the game

Still only showing one game per round in the knockouts is wild

I've got Gloucester over Newcastle.

Bugger.

Expecting a bit of a hammering anyway, but that was frank badness

 

[Welsh Exile]

Got to love Wales’ 5th region for saving our players. God I love that club.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Expected to lose, especially with RdP dropping out, but not to that extent

Something really wrong atm, whenever we lose we just completely fall apart - can't remember the last time we had a close loss, feels like every one is a 30+ points difference

 

[Geordie]

There's a little unfair criticism coming towards the falcons for our selection.
We barely have a reserve team to put we've got a tiny squad.

Also Gloucester put out a full strength side most of the cup last year and Quins and Bath match day squads were hardly academy sides

Well, this will be the last year that this competition exists in my mind.
I'm not interested in PRL teams playing with each other (outside of the Premiership itself) and drawing up the ladder behind them again.
Only interested in keeping their share of an ever shrinking pie - and blind to the fact the they're a very large reason that the pie is shrinking.

I've lost interest in the European Cup, I've now lost interest in this - how long before they turn me off the Prem as well?

 

[Jimbo]

Just caught up on the bath bs Quins Game, anyone else feel like the Bath missile squad (I think BK referred to them as) was a bit much and not really in the spirit of the comp are they that desperate for silverware, considering they have every realistic chance of winning the prem in general does feel quite right.

Did you notice the starting teams?
Or the Exeter or Newcastle teams throughout the competition?
