Re: Leicester V Leinster EPCR q/f 2022
It's imperial hangover. They think the world should still revolve around them and refuse to acknowledge that the world has moved on. The Nigels' screeching is only gonna get worse, as the URC gets more popular and English teams start getting knocked out of European comps not just by the Irish provinces but by the Saffer franchises too. Can't wait!!!

Or alternatively buy the competition and jig the rules to suit!Flash Gordon wrote: ↑May 9th, 2022, 9:44 amLeicester are a decent outfit but you'd fancy any one of the semi finalists to beat them. From our point of view, there were some worrying frailties up front and at the scrum which did for us against Saracens and La Roch previously.jezzer wrote: ↑May 8th, 2022, 12:10 am The first half absolutely exposed Leicester and their deficiencies if they want to eat at the top table
The second half exposed Leinster. Not equally so, because we somehow hung in and Leicester aren't really built to chase a game. But the cracks in the walls are real and they need filling. Tactically we fell between two stools which allowed Tigers to stay to some degree in the game.
The whining coming from England is really tiresome though. They have a system which results in pretty much all clubs losing money and they are uncompetitive at European level. Nothing at all stopping them reforming their system of course but rather than do that they'd prefer to rip down a system that produces home grown players and benefits the club and national team (and is financially viable). Bizarre, it's like a sports version of Brexit.

You don't want to reach a stage where the satisfaction in beating the poms becomes equal to the satisfaction in beating the Italians.

It's a human trait to see the world according to your own situation and biases, not something particular to English folk. I have seen it enough from Irish people as well as other nationalities.riocard911 wrote: ↑May 9th, 2022, 10:42 am It's imperial hangover.

2. The person others see us as.
3. The person we really are.
Try correlating that.

Something to do with triangulation? Or perhaps intersectionality? Eh, I give up.

Re: Leicester V Leinster EPCR q/f 2022
Well maybe but we were rubbish in the 90's an we built a model and system to address the fact that we couldn't compete with rich English and French clubs. That system is the one they are complaining about. They are also a business and what they are doing isn't working (pretty much all clubs lose money) so you'd expect them to at least question their own model's suitability. However rather than do that their ongoing solution is to express the desire to break systems that work. Some of the attitudes remind me of Brexit to be honest.outcast eddie wrote: ↑May 9th, 2022, 3:02 pmIt's a human trait to see the world according to your own situation and biases, not something particular to English folk.

Tell you what we are in trouble if they ever cop on, they 400,000 players to pick from, the right system with that player base would be tough to compete against!
Flash ahhhh ahhh, he'll save every one of us

I guess the first feed was via BT Sport 2 which overlapped with the penalties from the Munster game.

Re: Leicester V Leinster EPCR q/f 2022
RMcB speaking yesterday said there was a "flash flood" just before the game on saturday. I think he was referring, maybe, to our lovely hosts watering the pitch to ensure wet ball and less favourable conditions for the men in blue?

Leo commented on that too in this article on the The24:
"Even when we arrived down, the pitch was covered in water. I don’t know if you guys spotted that, but obviously they’d done a complete job on the pitch which had us squelching around, but when George Ford slipped over in the wet patch (in the second half), that made me laugh.”"
Re: Leicester V Leinster EPCR q/f 2022
Luke Fitz mentions on the Left Wing that the visitors changing room in Welford Road is always dripping wet from ceiling to floors and wall to wall.Laighin Break wrote: ↑May 10th, 2022, 8:39 amLeo commented on that too in this article on the The24:

Re: Leicester V Leinster EPCR q/f 2022
Couldn't believe the size of the dressing room at HT. There was literally no room for subs to sit down.
The watering the grass thing is a good indication that Tigers were more afraid of us than we were of them.
Didn't slow down the ball in the first 20 minutes though.
