@higgins said in NH club rugby:
Mark Hammett must be one of the unnamed "fireside chat" coaches referred to!
It would have been a great chat though.
There would have been talk of visions, new brooms, 5 year plans on a 4 year contract...@crucial that shows the ultimate positivity planning beyond your initial term!

Great St Stephen’s Day derby match between Munster and Leinster today at Thomond Park with the Blues running out eventual 34-24 victors. What was seen as a Leinster B side by some commentators in comparison to the side they fielded in the European Cup over the last 2 weeks, built up a 27-5 scoreline by halftime before the full-strength Munstermen rallied and brought themselves back to within 8 points with 12 mins to go. Then new Leinster full back Jordan Larmour had another star turn running 60m around 3 players before getting over the line and the bonus point. Munster’s Andrew Conway got himself a second try to close the gap again and secure their try bonus point. But Leinster did enough in the end to to close out the match. They put an extra 1000 seating in for this one and it was worth the ticket price.

Scary stuff. Hope Thomson gets well soon.

Lowe looked pretty neat for the bits I kept my eyes open for. Showed a bit of toe!
You missed his role in two of the Munster tries luckily...

Ah he was probably at fault for one. But it was a decent enough second outing. Leinster have seriously good depth. They should be aiming for domestic and Europe glory this season.

True - they should be. Stuart Lancaster seems very happy to keep going beyond next season working with Leo. They’re a good combo.

@bones saw a Tweet about his stats and Brad Webber replied saying it must be another James Lowe cos the one he knows doesn't hit rucks and avoids contact haha

If anything deserved a life ban, and probably an assault conviction

@stockcar86 WTF, that's criminal.
@antipodean the music? That act is just insane.

What's your verdict? Toeava gets yellow for a high tackle (no penalty try awarded), but has now been cited, so the Citing Commissioner thinks it meets the red card threshold. By the way, there were 8 yellow cards in this game, 3 for Clermont and 5 for Castres.
