A Poor Relation

The issue with Leinster, IMHO, is that their first string doesn't play together or get tested often enough. #LEIvEDI #InvestecChampionsCup #ChampionsCupRugby #ChampionsCup

This is mental. Inexplicable. Leinster playing feckless rugby. 3 gifts for Edinburgh. Osborne didn't even bother chasing the ball that went behind him. #LEIvEDI #InvestecChampionsCup #ChampionsCupRugby #ChampionsCup

Leicester 3rd in the Prem, can't even lay so much as a finger on Bordeaux Bègles. Bordeaux playing rugby from a different planet. #UBBvLEIC #BORvLEIC #UBBvLEI #BORvLEI #InvestecChampionsCup #ChampionsCupRugby #ChampionsCup

And how often they get held up over the try line. #ULSvOSP #EPCRChallengeCup #ChallengeCupRugby #ChallengeCup

The amount of simple handling errors Irish teams make is maddening. #ULSvOSP #EPCRChallengeCup #ChallengeCupRugby #ChallengeCup

I hope anyone who thinks the Champions Cup is dead was watching Toulon v Stormers and Glasgow v Bulls today. #GLAvBUL #RCTvSTO #TOUvSTO #ChampionsCup #InvestecChampionsCup #ChampionsCupRugby

@DavidSteelMP Bit harsh on Prendergast? Their attack was really good before Christmas but has tailed off since. The pack is less than dominant so the platform to play if isn't great either.

@APoorRelation We've an awful attack coach

Mun very poor yet two intercept tries in the first half were all that separated the teams. Mun's points per 22 entry must have been abysmal. What has happened to their attacking shape? They looked so one dimensional. #EXEvMUN #ChallengeCup #EPCRChallengeCup #ChallengeCupRugby

That should have been a penalty try. #TOUvSTO #RCTvSTO #ChampionsCup #ChampionsCupRugby #InvestecChampionsCup #URC

Stormers getting very little from Ridley at scrum time. #TOUvSTO #RCTvSTO #ChampionsCup #ChampionsCupRugby #InvestecChampionsCup #URC

@RJDhowzat @Eoin778330 Then look at the teams. Exe 11/23 English, Munster 19/23 Irish. Our system is restrictive (not that I'd want to completely change it).

@RJDhowzat @Eoin778330 Who have Newcastle upset? Gloucester? Even Quins this season? That's simply not true. Munster are the worst team to be making that argument about, they have a very good record in RSA. Snobby, ill-informed comments about the URC are very annoying.

Munster are awful. They've given this match away. Narrow in attack and defence. Devoid of strategy. Lacking patience. They look poorly coached. Another European miracle required. #EXEvMUN #ChallengeCup #EPCRChallengeCup #ChallengeCupRugby

@RJDhowzat @Eoin778330 Exeter 4th in Prem, Munster 7th in URC, coming off a tough trip to South Africa. Munster beat themselves today. The URC isn't the half-baked comp. Prem only has 10 teams and look at the gap between the top 6 and bottom 4.

@Eoin778330 @APoorRelation Agree Eoin. Also symptomatic of playing in a half baked URC as opposed to Prem.

@allTxs Exeter are going well in the Prem but I was surprised how much they out muscled Munster. The lack of shape in attack was worse though. Flat balls across the line, one out carries. And they had no game plan playing into the wind.

@APoorRelation Our packs physicality in carries is shambolic, we get mangled in the 22. Milne and Edogbo were the only ones who made yards more often than not I reckon

@ANiNuanain It's probably a 7 to 14 point wind. Damage was done in the first half. Awful game management. Total lack of patience.

@APoorRelation Exeter totally backed off against the wind, the scoreline flatters us.

Connacht get the job done 💚 #Rugby #ChallengeCupRugby

Patient first half. Very assured second half. Lancaster is building something. For the love of God get SHL a new contract @connachtrugby. #CONvSHA #ChallengeCup #EPCRChallengeCup #ChallengeCupRugby
