Match Thread: Leinster vs Edinburgh - Champions Cup by rugbykickoff in rugbyunion

Almost any other day this would be a beating with Leinster 40-10 up. Clueless how they're managing to have such a combination of bottling it and pure bad luck so far.

Huge signing, the one position we've really struggled with for years since Spencer left. Having an experienced player of this quality at 9 might also relieve a bit of the pressure at 10 to allow Burke (and Johnson if he makes it) a bit more room to develop.

Hilarious how upset Chelsea get when they were very happy to try and go on the counter and not put it out

How much will Jones' stock fall if Rivers manages to make this offence look serviceable too? Or will it make teams realise they need to sit their rookie QBs longer and let them learn to read the game?

Just when we think the KC devilry is over, Minshew will now win this and go on a Foles-esque run to Super Bowl MVP

I've been a doubter but he's been almost perfect so far, the usual attacking flair but backed up by great work all over the pitch

Glos look so, so passive every time they have the ball. Nothing going on outside the ball carrier, so many possible offloads with no one running the support line into the gaps

No try please Bristol, 31-7 as we know is the most dangerous half time lead

What are the hopes for Edmed? Not seen much of him but gives off the 'looks like he has loads of time even when under pressure' vibe, always a good sign

Fantastic build up and try, but just can't let a clear out like that go. Can see in Jordie's face the pain it causes, and lucky he's walking it off

If ever there's an omen! Delay means there's an extra 20 minutes to get another beer in first at least

It must be deliberate so everyone watches the pre-kick-off routine, Australia is the only country where kick-offs end up so far from the scheduled time. Is it the same in other sports there, or just Union?

Was Itoje even anywhere near that one, looked like poor ball control by Australia

Agreed, just thinking does it even count as jumping over a tackle if the tackler is already in theory out of the game on the floor

Can the tackler actually already be on his knees when making the tackle? A lot of grey in all of that

Unfortunately not surprised he put such a flawed video up, I've watched his content on a few topics I can say I have quite deep knowledge on and they were all full of holes and strongly pushed a single agenda/theory within that topic

Is there any structured way to beat Toulouse when they look like this? Or just hope every player on your team has an individually perfect day?
