It does baffle me why Ospreys struggle so much, pretty powerful scrum, good lineout, excellent halfbacks but really struggle to get a backline functioning.

29-14 TBP, yellow card and looking all over.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

29-21 dreadful defending, 72 minutes. Again dreadful decision making gave Caaaaaadiff an attacking lineout in the 22 but they screwed up. Then they screw up yet again and Gleisson score a try, converted and a one point game.

If Os lose this the coach should shoot his backline.

Well, Ospreys hold on 29-28 but that is a classic illustration of their problems, shocking backline.

The new boys play catch up over the next 2 weekends:

Sat 13 Jan 3pm (UK Time) :king: :king: v Cheetahs Sky Sports
Sat 20 Jan 3pm (UK Time) Cheetahs v :king: :king: Sky Sports

Kings looking for their 1st win, Cheetahs sitting in the last playoff spot in Conf A and looking to widen the gap to the likes of Cardiff, Connacht and Ospreys. There will be a 3rd South African derby in the last round of the regular season (Round 21) when the Kings host for a 2nd time.

Report on 42.ie via MK that Eir Sport have outbid Sky for the tv rights for 2018/19 for the league.

Article is not clear whether it is just Ireland or the whole of the UK.

Lol. What do you think?
IRFU treat Ulster as second class citizens when it comes to the rights

Luckily Eir Sport wont want Ulster games

Sky reducing their rugby coverage it seems. No European rugby next season.

Which is fine

The issue has never been BT. The issue has been Sky and BT sharing rights. Meaning you needed 2 contracts

I'd prefer Sky over BT but I'll take BT over Sky and BT
