With some sides getting points without playing and the likelihood that it may get worse, I have lost all interest in this, a team could get 20 points without playing a game and go through and a team could play all their games and get 16 points winning them all and either not get a home knockout game or even go out, needs cancelling and start again next season.

The commercial reality of the world means that this competition will limp on no matter what. May as well just enjoy the games.
In my defence, I was left unsupervised….

We were saying this last season, has to be said but what makes people think it’s gonna be any different next year?!

Didn’t know much about Rory Knockett until the last two weeks. His back chat to the ref is a disgrace- last week he was asking for a yellow card and Kay called him out. Lucky to still be on the field at the moment.

Also his left arm has swollen up like a balloon- any medical experts tell me what had happened their? Really bizarre looking injury.

I didn't see this one, but I know what you mean...one thing that i think they could do is give, say 5 "phases" before advantage over. Gives the person playing SH a chance to say "we'll take the advantage" without it taking forever! Obviously "new advantage" resets the count!
I've seen advantages in the past go on for several minutes! (And on the TV with a "neutral" game, so I know my green, white, and red goggles weren't impeding :smt002)

The way things are progressing right now the one certain winner of both European competitions could very well be covid....

Must admit to even having a degree of sympathy for Leinster - very rare for me indeed :
