I know its still early and its just one loss but man that's a big one to lose, home soil lose to Benetton.

Seems a mixed bag so far wins over Cardiff and Dragons isn't really much bragging rights as such but this lose is a big dent, hope things improve for him but I still worry he is too stuck in his ways and bit one tracked minded.

Yeh, all this has done is confirmed what cockers said IMO, Edinburgh has some players that are not good enough.

This season will be about finding out which players can make the step up to being a good pro rugby to those that are cruising.

Yeah he found out the Edinburgh problem last week.

Interesting today though - can't remember the last time Leinster and Munster both got a solid doing in the league in the same weekend.

Ospreys felt the strength of Benetton Treviso away tonight losing 16 - 6, Ex Tigers Robert Barbieri and Tiziano Pasquali appearing in the winning team. So Treviso are on the way up for once. :smt023

I guess Michele Rizzo isn't at the top of the list of good ones just now

the Treviso line speed and their ability to get quickly get off the floor took the Ospreys apart. A well-deserved win. Bortolami and O'Shea will be well happy
