Champions Cup (Rugby) Draw 16/17

[AbidingPond]

yes a super win for connacht. Well done to them and i think they can even play better. To keep toulouse scoreless n the 2nd half was great. Its crucial to win your home games. Well done to leinster too , but that win was expected. Willie will be on the beer tonight.

Hell I will too. This calls for it. But I'd say that he was at the match so he is probably passed out on the pitch right now.

A bonus point win for Leinster. Miles better than where they were this time last year.

It's so important to get off to a good start. Joey Carbery looks a serious talent. Here's to next week.

A loss for Ulster. They were competitive for most of the game then the arse fell out of them in the last 10 minutes.

Their kicking was pure shite in the end
Too many mistakes at the end and they don,t seem to have any leadership at the moment
I wonder did news of Axels death affect them ?

I'd say the coaching team decided not to tell them until after the match.

You wonder if they heard the news at halftime?
Can be very hard sometimes to keep it quiet

Maybe they did hear the news at half time. Though there didn't seem to be any change in them just after the restart, they only fell apart in the last few minutes of the match. You would think if they had heard at half time then their performance would have been affected straight away.

The minute silence for axel impeccably observed at the sale toulon game. A nice mark of respect. This weekends games i would expect connacht to get a bonus point win. Leinster have a tough away game but have johnny and tullow tank back. They could get a win but will need to play their best. Its a must win game for ulster and at home they should win it. What state of mind will munster be in, a tough game in store both mentally and physically. Be great to win it for axel but glasgow will be tough. Good luck munster.

Can't argue with that.

Super first half by munster despite been down to 14. Hopefully they can keep it going for the 2nd half.

Guess they did
You can't ask for anymore off them and 5 tries
Well done Munster

A fine performance and a good send off for Foley.

Obviously fueled by grief. They had a fire in them today.
