Scarlets deeply impacted by a storm 2 weeks in a row

Back to back unimpressive wins for Munster now so they'll be happy with results not performances

They defended Edinburgh well, but in attack feels like Munster are waiting for someone to create a moment instead of breaking a team down

He's been warned away so he won't be keeping that up in the 2nd half

Munster will be happy to be 2 points down, given they've played very little rugby and had little control of the game

Munster are eating up that one up carrying game. A lack of depth/deception from Edinburgh

Is there no shot clock in the stadium? Is Ben Whitehouse counting down the kicks?

One change to the named 15 for Connacht Rugbyfrom last week
Sean O'Brien comes in with Hurley-Langton on the bench as Boyle misses out

Cardiff will be tough opposition Connacht will need to be accurate & dominant at the breakdown + wary of the potential attack

The most surprising thing about this statement is that all these nations unions collaborated to put it together and sign it.

A night later than will be normal, but for good reasons
We chat through a disrupted RD 2 of the #BKTURC did I just play The Fields Of Athenry, The Wests Awake, & Shipping out to Boston instead of talking about Connacht? Listen to find out

The Windy West, Leinster loss, & Classy Crowley its URD5 RD 2

A wind impacted RD2 of the URC comes to an end, Leinster leave SA with another loss, Munster get past Cardiff. Dropgoals, game smarts, and more as Will and I talk through it all.

Lacked intensity

the2ndrow.bsky.social @the2ndrow.bsky.social · 6d

Well Munster get out with a win playing poorly Crowley almost willing them around the park that drop goal so important
Munster lineout was good but attack was flat enough
Cardiff defence made everything messy & hit hard but ran out of energy to keep Munster out

Can't call anything here momentum as this game has as much tempo as a fiat 500 full of forwards

the2ndrow.bsky.social @the2ndrow.bsky.social · 6d

This game is as flat as a crepe

Munster you'd think happier of the 2 teams given how the half ended. Cardiff have made odd decisions re penalties and points and haven't converted opportunities
Munster started well but didn't convert and lost momentum

Bulls deserving lead haven't seen stats but it feels like they're controlling territory
Leinster are more direct this week + set piece is working better but not really putting sustained pressure on the bulls. The one time they did won the penalty & got their try

No game tomorrow

Will more than likely be played during the November internationals window or six nations

A draw the fitting outcome in Rodney Parade. No one deserved to win or lose
Looked like horrible conditions, dragons kicked better but the lack of a scrum killed them
