Eednud Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 In Super Rugby the Rebels defeated the Blues 20-10 at Eden Park, Auckland today. This is the first win by an Australian side in NZ for 3 years. The Blues are not very good this year. It’s also the first time the Blues have lost to an Australian side at Eden Park since the Brumbies beat them in May 2013.

Mark Connolly Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 C4 Rugby coverage gets a big tick with Lee McKenzie presenting, and then loses all goodwill by having Eddie Butler commentating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you can draw a team from your own league but I think you might be right that teams from the Guinness Pro14 can't draw each other in the pools. I'm looking forward to the draw for a change. Since we won the conference and got a home s/f, I'm assuming that we'll be in the top seeds and avoid Leinster and Munster. The Cheetahs don't compete in Europe and Scarlets should be in the top seeds too. In England, Saracens beat Exeter in the final so I'd assume we'll avoid them. Montpellier beat Castres in the Top 14 final so I'd hope to avoid them too. I'd like another trip to Bath actually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Richie Vernon leaves Glasgow to join London Scottish next season. He's combining it with prepping for a job in finance so thinking he'll be ending his career there. Stalwart and committed to the Warriors cause imo but he was blighted with long-term injuries so it's the right decision tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 details of the seeding and how the draw works here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018–19_European_Rugby_Champions_Cup We will be 2nd Tier, and Embra 3rd Teams in Tier 1, 2 & 3 must be from a different league (ie one English, one french and one Pro14) so we can only get Cardiff or Ulster from our league. Worst draw would be Sarries, Toulouse and Toulon, best would be Exeter, Lyon and Cardiff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mind Exeter again, was a good trip despite the result last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
