Hopefully he can push on in 21. Big stage to do it tonight
Time for a new thread!
Covid-deniers Exeter get battered by wasps. Admittedly Exeter missed plenty of first team players but still unusually to see them get manhandled up front

You had me at "covid deniers"
I saw that video in a tweet during the week. I suppose it was inevitable that someone in world rugby would do a Covid Folau.Great to see that. When I saw him with Ireland earlier in the year, I thought looked like he'd bulked up but had lost a bit of his spark.

Exeter fulfilling their destiny and replacing Saracens as English rugby’s biggest weapons
Connacht have been brilliant tonight to beat Leinster at the RDS for the first time ever. Also ending a Leinster win streak of two years in the Pro 14. I've been jumping around the room at some of the scores
Missed it to study. Obviously I tend to watch premiership and European cups as preference (being English) but what do you think the most watchable domestic competitions are?Connacht have been brilliant tonight to beat Leinster at the RDS for the first time ever.

I watch a lot of Pro 14 because of the Irish provinces and Connacht are very watchable again this year. Hit a speedbump recently but they're always committed to playing exciting attacking rugby and taking risks, which makes their games sometimes tough on supporters
Not sure about the quality of other matches in the competition that the Irish teams aren't involved in.
There are also a few Super Rugby folks around here, but I don't get to see much of that with the timezones.
I’m hoping to watch some of the french domestic league. They seem to have the best teams to watch based on European rugby....capable of scoring or conceding 40-odd points in any given gameI watch a lot of Pro 14 because of the Irish provinces and Connacht are very watchable again this year.

I’m just not sure I get it televisedI know most of you boys follow Euro or Pro14 but if you get a chance, check out the match just finished between Bath and Wasps, mental game of rugby
The most watchable is Super Rugby, then Top 14. After that I would Pro 14 over Premiership. But honestly Super Rugby is by far the best domestic league(s) even when you consider the current split leagues.
What happened?
96 points (total), 2 yellows, 10 tries...close till the end as well. Just a hell of a game
Yeah the time zones is a bit of a pain in the arse for Super rugby. And I can’t for love nor money find a way to stream Top14 in the U.K., even on my IPTV which picks up everything from bare-knuckle boxing to Khazak bear-wrestling
Hmm can't find any highlights yet, I'll try again tomorrow
The Autumn Nations Cup was nigh on unwatchable but the Champions Cup and Gallagher Premiership games I have seen have been decent enough to watch.

I hope it goes ahead, I've got tickets to both tests in Johannesburg.
Super rugby, the New Zealand version that they had going on was quality.
It certainly was. As brilliant as they are, it would be nice to see the Crusaders usurped this year though. Super Rugby AU wasn't horrendous but there was still a gulf in quality between the two competitions.
Once the Blues get Barret in the no10 the Crusaders place at the top will be in jeopardy. Only the Blue's have the talent to compete with them. Tuipolotu, Barrett, Ioane × 2, Tuinukuafe, Tuungafasi, Sotutu etc that's as elite a talent group as you can get. With proper coaching they could take over.
Australian club rugby is a mess. Don't bother with that. Simply isn't enough talent. When the talent is there its misused. Just a mess.
European cups suspended. It was always on the cards with the situation in France.
Perfect time to get the big derby rescheduled
I saw him apologize on twitter for something, what did he do?Kyle Sinckler cited today.....for swearing
I reckon if I had LCD smash through my knees with his shoulder I’d probably make a bit of noise as well
Was it the roaring at the ref?
So what way are they going to organise the knock out format, will it in by division or inter division
I’m just watching highlights of the 1st game in the infamous 2005 lions tour and thinking some of the tackles going in would be straight reds now, the obvious one on O’Driscoll, but later on in the 1st half umaga straight up flips lewsie down on his shoulders, he would be a bit of a liability in today’s game.
Leinster Munster tonight, hoping it’s better than the Cardiff Llanelli was yesterday
On the telly here they've just said Munster haven't lost at home in 47 months.
Some record if true. Good game albeit low scoring. I don’t watch much pro14 but this games been fun. POM and Beirne have been immense for Munster
Whats cooney got to do to get into the Ireland squad
Thought of you when I saw that. I'd have felt there are a few Connacht players who had a fairly good shout too.
Our two provinces are so often overlooked
