URC Matchthread Week 2

Predicted that yesterday. Pretending that moving the match by an hour and ten minutes would save it from a dangerous large storm was embarrassing.

No Leinster game on Premier but it's on the player which we can't get???

Just an update. It seems some listings are saying it's on Premier 1 others saying the player. We wait and see.

Very simple indeed. Having 2 separate channels both called Prem 1 is very very simple.

That was brainless from the dragons, the out-half has to demand that he gets the chance for a drop goal and the scrum-half had no clue either he didnt once look back to his out-half. I hope coaches are taking note of that and play that back to their players. It should be drilled jnto them and it's not the first time i've seen it

The weather forecast for Munster's game tonight is windy, but not stormy. It will probably go ahead unless there's damage caused by the storm. Electricity or structural damage to the stadium.

I hope it goes ahead. I can't have leinster being thrashed by the Bulls being the only Irish team playing this week.

If scarlets couldn't travel, any word on Cardiff? Unless they travelled on Thursday, they could be in the same boat

Not taking the drop goal was absolutely ludicrous. It literally couldn't have been better set up, and it's not like the try would have denied the Sharks a losing bonus point or anything.

Having said that, the Dragons won't be quite the punching bags they were last season. I'd expect them to take one or two complacent scalps.

Knock ons and forward passes allowed now it seems?

McGrath is having another shocker.

Turned a great Leinster opportunity into a Bills try through awful handling.

I can only blame the fact that we are dressed as Ryanair planes.

The team in blue are winning :)
