That’s what I would do. Some could argue that it’s bringing the competition into disrepute or that they would get a hammering,it could arguably be close to the record defeat. But there’s zero chance of winning it,I would genuinely back Leinster at home against us if they could only start with 14 men,and there’s always a huge risk of injuries due to the nature of it being against basically playing against a test side. Call me waving the white flag but I would go over there as weak as possible.
Maybe putting the competition into disrepute is what it needs!!!
It looks like Brace is on Bath's side... He is doing his best for them!
I'd be in favour of sending a 2nd team. Happy to bring the competition into disrepute.
Aside from the huge financial gap between sides etc I just don’t see how you can take a competition seriously when the format is so farcical.
The seeding makes little sense. You only play 4 pool games against a very random selection of teams. You don’t play any team home and away so there is no parity of outcome. You can then play the same team in the first knock out match. You fan also play only two matches at home or 6 depending on the draw.
Forget understanding the rules of rugby it’s the format that they could sort out straight away.

This is exactly the point.
I don't believe it childish so much. The competition's format needs to change.

Bath tie it up at HT!
What a great move from a line out we could do that using Kata but no we can only do a rolling maul
I'm pretty sure Kata could have done that!! That try wasn't from coaching but just pure power and quick ball.
Well that line out drill came straight off the training park as instead of going to the 9 the ball was passed off the top of the line out directly to Lawrence
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

Watch it again - it went straight to the 9 from the lock. For me, just excellent quick ball.

Exactly , it didn’t go straight from the line out to Lawrence although I agree it was a training ground move.
Thanks for the correction either way Tigers need to play with more variation. In the red zone other than just huffing and puffing trying to break the brick walls down

If that is a training ground move, it is one of the most simple I have ever seen, and would not require a coach any better than my grandma. But in any case, it was well implemented.

Simple but clearly very effective which is probably why they practice it so it works like clockwork and is even more effective as a result.
