They're not ready for this competition yet.
It's funny, as an armchair fan I don't see what should be so different about it than league rugby, but so many teams new to flying high domestically seem to take a couple of years to settle into the Champions Cup.

Exeter being a prime example.
Ref completely ruined the Bristol game - he had a shocker.

Craig Doyle doing legal damage control while Healy blithely accuses French directors of cheating (not unjustly tbf...) is quite funny.

There's zero doubt that the French TV directors are a pack of self-serving cunts.

Bristol have been totally naive, Bordeaux smart and efficient, Racing will i suspect anihilate them in the quarters.
Thought this one would be close. Go out for a walk and when I come back, Brizzle have been bummed.

Not sure about that, last 2 games were Bor 10 / Rac 15 and R 32/ B 33.
Needs more Finn Russell.

It continues to be bizarre the difference between their National, & Club performances.
I think Wales needs one less team, & Scotland needs one more.

Bizarre indeed. Ospreys put out pretty much 1/2 the Welsh ntl side and still lost at home to Newcastle. Dragons not expected to beat Saints on recent form but nonetheless, they lost to a side playing a man short for much of the game. And now this. Could be a humiliation.

Ospreys 14-0 after 15 minutes having scored two classy tries and looked like running away with it. I mean no disrespect but all Newcastle had to do to win was be competent, which they were.

In a way so is English rugby. On the basis of this weekend England should be able to beat Wales comfortably even from 14-0 down. It’s an odd game.
