Detournement Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Exeter never looked like getting four tries. Edinburgh can definitely beat Munster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Toulouse took a dive there, knew at halftime that Leinster were cruising, so took foot off gas. Bonus point victory would mean traveling to Dublin, think they much preferred the all French affair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Racing vs Toulouse in the dome will be a cracker. Leinster vs Ulster should be entertaining as well. QF line up looking much better than expected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 It's a bit shite if you end up with the top ranked side drawing the fifth group winner. I would say have 4 vs 5. And draw 1,2,3 vs 6,7,8 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/46903466 Im shocked if Dunbar was actually not selected in the original squad, For me he is still by far our best inside centre, and without him we are far to lightweight in the middle of the park. Dean and Johnson my both be good, but they are still untested at the top level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 On the one hand, Gatland has won a series in Australia and drawn one in NZ. On the other, he narrowly won the series in Oz 2-1 when we should have strolled it against a really poor Australia, and he shitfested in NZ with a team containing Ben Te'o. Get him to f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Big chance for Hardie now. What a story that could be! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'd go for a Ritchie-Hardie-Wilson back row now if Wilson is fit. After the autumn it's obvious that we need the backrow to be focused more on getting quick ball than turn overs so Hardie with his extra size might be better for that than Watson. I was hoping for Bradbury-Watson-Thompson a few months ago..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
