Re: Heineken Cup 2020/21
La Rochelle looked great last night - lots of pace, incredible size, some very tidy footballers and very well-coached by Jono and ROG. Basically, they're exactly what you would want from a team.

No, they can't. Thats how good they are. A combination of those two teams couldn't win a goldfish at a carnival.Theleinsterlad wrote: ↑April 3rd, 2021, 2:10 pmThe game looks like clermont are having a bad day and wasps have been able to capitalise. I would think you’d prefer to see clermont knocked out cause they can play much better than this

Yep. Even when they were at their peak I always thought Clermont were beatable. This current lot aren't close to that team.Dave Cahill wrote: ↑April 3rd, 2021, 2:28 pmNo, they can't.

Seemed to fade for a while before finishing Glos off. Would have won by 30 if they were a bit more clinical

Re: Heineken Cup 2020/21
2 Earsl tries in five minutes and against the run of play. Munster could do this!!!
Re: Heineken Cup 2020/21
Great game so far. All the games have been very good actually but this one looks a step up in quality.

Re: Heineken Cup 2020/21
Munster under-resourcing their rucks thereby coughing up possession and penos.....

He reminded me of de Villiers playing against us last week: sh!t. Today he's not just a bosh merchant but he's playing smart too.Theleinsterlad wrote: ↑April 3rd, 2021, 3:48 pm Munster playing so much better today than they did last week. Deallande looks different player

Re: Heineken Cup 2020/21
Toulouse have played some amazing rugby but they’re really flattering to deceive. For all the good play they couldn’t score a try and barely got the ball to Kolbe. I wonder if they put so much effort into keeping the ball alive and taking any opportunity to make a yard or two that they then just run out of players a phase or two later. Munster clearly targeting turnovers when Toulouse catch high balls too. Instead of just catching it and waiting for support they look to go forward when they hit the ground and it means they get isolated.
Nice to see Munster playing some rugby though, two excellent tries.

Re: Heineken Cup 2020/21
Lots of similarities. de Villiers got stung by criticism but came good. Then didn’t hang around.fourthirtythree wrote: ↑April 3rd, 2021, 3:55 pmHe reminded me of de Villiers playing against us last week: sh!t.
