Bath - Northampton Saints.
Wow! What a game!
Epic
Lots of controversy about Pollock YC
Hard to see from highlights
Rieko Ioane scored the 4th try for Leinster in their European Champions Cup Quarter Final match this evening against Sale Sharks.

There will be two French teams in the semi-finals. Top 14 is not that bad compared to the Premiership or the URC as some argued a few months ago.
Who was arguing the standard of the Top 14 was lower than the URC or Prem??

Not many would be my guess.
"Chiefs attack coach Roger Randle’s appointment to Munster’s coaching staff at the end of the season continues to rock the Irish club, with multiple officials resigning.
Randle was hired as attack coach Mike Prendergast’s successor, but former Munster players Billy Holland, Mick O’Driscoll and Killian Keane resigned from the club’s professional game committee as a result of the decision.
The Irish Examiner also reported members of Munster’s commercial advisory group resigned earlier this week.
A statement on these resignations said the group “is an informal voluntary group of business and industry people who advise Munster Rugby with its commercial activities and initiatives” and thanked the members for their contribution and hard work to the club.
Randle was accused of raping a woman in 1997 while he was part of the Hurricanes side who played a Super Rugby match in the South African city of Durban.
He has denied the allegations and charges were withdrawn."

I had a quick look in this thread and didn't see much?

@Catogrande possibly the traitors that spend time on other forums, mixing things up.

We can't legislate for scum like that.
Reiko Ioane's Leinster beat Toulon to make the European Champions Cup final. Reiko was on the left wing for the semi final.
Reiko Ioane made a 78th minute try-saving tackle that saved the game for Leinster and shepherded them into the final in Bilbao against Bath or Bordeaux later this month.
The future of rugby, is there anything he can't do?

A crazy scoreline between Northampton Saints and Bristol Bears last night:
South African teams to leave European club rugby competitions?
@sparky said in NH Club Rugby:

I doubt it. This would be a ploy to attempt persuading the Euros to amend their comps to further accommodate the South Africans.
The only other option left to them would be to play a domestic comp.
@sparky said in NH Club Rugby:

Only the EPCR competitions - so they'd remain in the URC.
Makes sense to me.

Do the teams that finish below them then go into the European comps?
If so, can't see any pushback from URC teams?
