Unfortunately, this was always the likely outturn given that there are already 3 teams selected from the Ospreys’ Region and there were none from the Blues’ Region. That said, there are (in my opinion) a number questions to be asked about the original vetting/decision making process, eg 1) had Cardiff been contacted by (representatives of) the WRU before the first decision had been taken? 2) if so, is that why 1 of the 10 Clubs had to be excluded? There are others of course ….
Anyone watch Leinster v Toulouse? What an enthralling game and great drama in extra time! Could have gone either way really. How about Dupont's turnovers at the breakdown!
