Humble beginnings - 30 years of European club rugby The inaugural edition was very much the rickety Ford Model T of Heineken Cups compared to the sleek Masserati of the mid-to-late 2000s

Champions Cup: Evolution or revolution? Podcast Episode · Rugby Union Weekly · 07/04/2025 · 58m

podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/r... I agree with a lot of this. But the host probably needs to also mention that it was the English club leadership who dismantled the successful #HeinekenCup and replaced it with this weak format that still exposes the English clubs in the #ChampionsCup #Rugby

Gerry Thornley: Is a slimmed down Champions Cup the answer to the competition’s woes? A revamped 18-team tournament has been proposed by France’s LNR

GT: Is a slimmed down #ChampionsCup the answer to the competition’s woes?- It might be.But let’s not forget the destruction the English organisers have delivered here. Dismantled #HeinekenCup & delivered a poor replacement. Promised huge €’s. Delivered less !! 🙄

I have Munster scraping this one, however I can also see a pretty handy Northampton win. Always so hard to tell with these Premiership teams #championscup #Heinekencup

Gordon D’Arcy: If the Champions Cup is not changed, it will drift into obscurity Despite brilliant recent performances by Toulouse and Bordeaux, it’s clear the existing format of rugby’s top club competition does not work

If the #ChampionsCup is not changed, it will drift into obscurity..-Indeed, the clowns running this competition have destroyed the previous commercial success & the rugby product. After all their BS about the #HeinekenCup. www.irishtimes.com/sport/rugby/...

Current European format failing to land old punch Round two of the Champions Cup provided some contrasting results last weekend, but the current format of the tournament is an inferior product compared to what we had in the classic Heineken Cup days.

The Heineken Cup was one of rugby’s success stories… the Champions Cup represents its sad decline We got to Ashton Gate with plenty of time to spare, reckoning there’d be scope to take a look at Ulster’s game in Toulouse at the stadium. We were wrong.

Leinster Player Ratings As They Return to Another Final 15 years apart but the same result. Leinster victors in Croke Park If there is a Croke Park factor, then it only affected one team.

#HeinekenCup Round of 8

#LeinsterRugby vs La Rochelle Aviva Stadium, Dublin.

Inevitable wasn't it? Round 5 with the score 3 - 1 to the baddest of bad guys.

Too close to call so why bother trying.

Just win Leinster, just win.

Go well @leinsterrugby

Analysis: Munster’s European Dream Smothered Up Front Last May was amazing, but the cornerstone for success then has been the area of most disruption this season. That is, the tight five forwards. All throughout the campaign, Munster’s injury luck has been nothing short of a twisted joke. Ultimately, to be…

@LeinsterRugby vs Leicester Tigers, Aviva Stadium, Dublin 8pm 6th April.

If the definition of insanity is continually doing the same thing for the same outcome Leicester need to do something radically different tomorrow.

Can they though?
