I vehemently disagree that it's been a cracking competition. The standard required for Treviso to get wins against the Scottish sides and Zebre is a far cry from what the Irish rounds were. Some good games though for sure.

Don't the think the Irish Interpros were of that high a standard either until the last round. Still it is undoubtedly a bit of a mini League with luck of the draw to it.

Since conferences came in, unbalanced fixture difficulty was inevitable. It was just ignored.

Munster will lose to the Bulls in the final.

Just watching 3 minute highlights of Lions V Bulls... good attacking play by both sides - but my God - Zero defence from either....

Now cheering for Benetton!
Re: is the Rainbow Cup still going ahead?
If the Ospreys get a bonus point win against Connacht there there's the possibility of a decider between them and Benetton.
Especially if Zebre can do a favour for their brothers against Munster.

Re: is the Rainbow Cup still going ahead?
Benneton v Ospreys might be off due to Osprey positive tests according to the42, meaning Benneton will be the NH representatives.

Re: is the Rainbow Cup still going ahead?
So a game against Glasgow's 'kids', two games against Zebre and now possibly a walk over against Ospreys - feels like someone is desperate for Benetton to be the winners of the Rainbow Cup!!!

So when is someone going to resign/be sacked for this shambles?

Re: is the Rainbow Cup still going ahead?
Why should someone be sacked for doing their very best in the face of unprecedented challenges? I've enjoyed lots of the games.LeRouxIsPHat wrote: ↑June 8th, 2021, 6:27 pm So when is someone going to resign/be sacked for this shambles?

I agree. There's only so much they can do with limited time and game cancellations. This tournament was designed to bring in money which all the clubs want.

True and I'm glad that Leinster got a cut of it, no matter how small.dropkick wrote: ↑June 9th, 2021, 10:20 amthe spoofer wrote: ↑June 9th, 2021, 9:59 amWhy should someone be sacked for doing their very best in the face of unprecedented challenges?

Because they’re totally incompetent. I’m not going to repeat all the points I’ve already made in this thread, my posts are there if you want to read them.the spoofer wrote: ↑June 9th, 2021, 9:59 amWhy should someone be sacked for doing their very best in the face of unprecedented challenges?
