Re: European Rugby Champions Cup
In fairness. If I am going to include Connacht I should include English challenge cup results

Prem:
Played 14, lost 12. Combined pts won in 2 rounds 18.
Pro14:
Played 14, won 10, lost 4 (2 lost to another Pro14 team), Combined pts in 2 rounds, 50.
Glasgow were the only team to lose to a non Pro14 team. (Pro14 10-2 V other leagues)
Amazing what no relegation can do for team performance.

You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

Or, a LBP in every game!

Re: European Rugby Champions Cup
Montpellier could still win our group. Not likely but they have picked up 5 bonus points, so mathematically could still nick us in the final game.
Re: European Rugby Champions Cup
Yes, pick up 10 pts from last 2 games and deny us a LBP in last game and they win the group.curates_egg wrote:Montpellier could still win our group. Not likely but they have picked up 5 bonus points, so mathematically could still nick us in the final game.
Exeter will be desperate to win the next game at home though.

Re: European Rugby Champions Cup
So,
27 points for Cooney
20 points for Keatley
20 points for Healy
Tom Farrell also got a try and a conversion for Mckinley.
The Leinster diaspora is strong.

Re: European Rugby Champions Cup
Wow. Night out for Stats Nerds. All fascinating. Keep them coming
Re: European Rugby Champions Cup
Not necessarily. We beat them 5-0 at home so them beating us 5-0 over there means we’d be evens on the head to head. It comes down to PD then, right? In which case we’re currently 31 points clear of them.blockhead wrote:Yes, pick up 10 pts from last 2 games and deny us a LBP in last game and they win the group.curates_egg wrote:Montpellier could still win our group.

We should pick up 5 against Glasgow. Monty are away to Exeter though so can’t seem them getting 5 there, but even if they do you’d have to think we’d extend our PD advantage. Exeter aren’t going to give up a lot of scores. I think we’re reasonably safe for top spot now. We will likely need at least 2 from the Monty game for a top 2 seeding though.

Ah yes, forgot about that. Still, I don't see them getting a TBP win in Sandy Park.Barry wrote:5-1 - Montpellier got a losing bonus in the RDS

Re: European Rugby Champions Cup
More whinging from the Grauniad, this time from Gerald Meagher:
"It is worth pointing out however that Leicester came into this European double-header on the back of a heavyweight tussle with Wasps and now face Saracens and Exeter in consecutive matches. It is important not to take away from Munster’s performance but the Premiership is hardly set up in a manner that benefits its clubs in Europe."

Re: European Rugby Champions Cup
I do feel sorry for Saracens. Maybe if the fixture list had been kinder they'd have won more than two of the last two Champions Cups?

Don’t we purposefully schedule interpro’s to bring our teams up to speed?

Let's just renegotiate the European Champions Cup, it obviously favours the Pro14 teams too much.LeRouxIsPHat wrote:I do feel sorry for Saracens. Maybe if the fixture list had been kinder they'd have won more than two of the last two Champions Cups?

Whereas Racing only had to play Montpelier, StadeToulononlyn and Munster only had Ospreys (double v N'hampton), Zebre and Dragons.riocard911 wrote:More whinging from the Grauniad, this time from Gerald Meagher:

Whinging from English rugby is a bit like Test Match Special, they do it so well with a large sense of entitlement about how world order SHOULD be!
