It shows how good is the URC.

Not their true level, they underperformed in some moments and, at the same time, they did well.
The result isn't that bad when you consider that 50% of the Irish team has a shot to become part of AF's squad.
Thank you!

The bench replacements didn't anything to the game and were easily snuffed out.
But there are several miscasts starting with Guillard.
For all the respect I have for Galthié he needs to stop with wanting to give player A/B a lesson.

As for Belgium, they will begin their FQT campaign against Namibia
Tough, tough match, but they have enough firepower to create something special
Toulouse's Matias Remue to feature as 10, whilst Rugby Club Vannes Berguet and Decubber are in the pack
No Jens Torfs, though

As for the Lelos, they are clearly favourites in their match against the Eagles 🦅
The duo Lobz-Abzh is back, but the leading player is undoubtedly Davit Niniashvili
Bristol Bears Luka Ivanishvili is in the starting line-up

Romania and Canada will clash in Bucharest, and after a dismal July, the Stejarii have a win in their sights
Septar is back in the fray two after his 'exile'! 🆕
Tomane, Vaovasa, Conache and Chirica are also back, in what will be Cojocaru's first of his three last games for his country

Elsewhere, Portugal will host Uruguay, with both teams missing some big names
However, Samuel Marques, Cody Thomas, Raffaele Storti and Rodrigo Marta are back, while 🐦, despite not having Arata, will see Jean Cotarmanac'h make his debut!
Massive, massive match for the WR rank

A mess. Not an unexpected one though

Most talented doesn't mean the best. People continue to belittle Ntamack, who is by far the best 10 for 'this' France. Jalibert works well with UBB's style, but for some reason UBB keeps failing to win the Top14.
However, I think they will give him a 2nd chance to run as a repl 10.
