They should stop using their league as a vehicle for European and international rugby then and it might be more competitive! Its always been a garbage league bar the odd game.

It’s true though. Before I had BT I used to watch a lot of PRO14 games on BBC Scotland/Wales/NI etc. Shocking for the most part,Championship level. I’m not disputing there are some good teams in it,but as a league it’s easily the 4th best out of the big 4 (GP/Top 14/SR/PRO14)

I don't buy the 'undercooked' excuse. It cuts both ways, would Tigers have faired better in 09 vs Leinster if we hadn't been so stretched on two or more fronts? :smt017

I always thought we'd have won that if Toby Flood hadn't been injured.

Flood didn't have great luck with injuries around finals time did he, he missed the Leinster, Irish and Quins finals and got injured in the Saints one pretty early on

We lost that game when Crane went off injured. We had a 10 point lead but let them get back into it as he was our go to player to carry us out of trouble. He was arguably never the same player after that season.
