European Rugby Champions Cup

If we at least make the semis, Furlong is the leading contender IMO.

Fritz Lee too but he doesnt play for us

Id say Ulster are still raging at Mrs Vito

Schalk Burger has been cited for dangerous ruck entry

I'm open to correction on this, but they only ever seem to give it to a member of the winning team after the final, you see them wearing their winners medal and their big gold medal at the same time. Think Farrell got it last year or the year before.

Maybe its restricted to someone who plays in the final but can't be just the winning team because Nick Abendanon won it a couple of years ago. Also, I think last year was the first time it was presented at the final and maybe that was because it was the introduction of the Anthony Foley Memorial Trophy?

From that list, Fardy or Sexto did not play in either game V Montpellier.

And Sexton only played 3 minutes in the home game against Montpellier, so he essentially played in half of the games! Strange nomination and Henshaw very unlucky to miss out.

Presume you mean the Exeter home game but yeah it's a good point. Leinster website has him down for 193 mins in European games in total, only 40% of total gametime.

I read a lot of business proposals in my day job and I have yet to find a proposal in which quantity trumps quality. If J10 didn't have such large boots to fill we (i.e.the whole country) would be nauseous from being in constant awe of his ability. Every team in this comp would gladly swap their 10 for a J10. Hope he wins the fockin thing.

That's true. But if there was more on the line he'd have played in France.

Thank god for the bank holiday Monday or people would be less than impressed...

[Blue not red blood]

Still arseways .
No way LLanelli are playing at 5.30pm on a Friday!!!!
Also the Sunday games would overlap with those kick off times.

Useless ffffiinng tools

It's Good Friday, so a day off for most. The 2pm ko in Clermont is local time so no overlap.

[flustered]

Prime saturday spot goes to Edinburgh Challenge Cup game!

[curates_egg]

Personally prefer that time and date for the game but it is a pain.

Clermont-Racing game listed in CET I presume, so 13.00 our time.

[Blue not red blood]

Still doesnt allow for extra time and penalties ( leicester 2009 ) in Clermont.
A load of me bollix if you ask me.

[LeinsterLeader]

Times confirmed now on the 42
