For the first time in the Heineken Champions Cup we have a two-legged round-of-16 matches, and all four Irish provinces are in action having come though a severely disrupted and disjointed pool phase.
Munster senior coach Stephen Larkham says the pain of losing to Leinster doesn't get any easier with familiarity.
Rob Baxter believes Munster's European pedigree can bring the best out of his Exeter Chief players in their Heineken Champions Cup Round of 16 meeting this week.
Munster head coach Johann van Graan is bracing himself to be without three of his Six Nations internationals as well as Gavin Coombes for the first leg of their Heineken Champions Cup last 16 against Leinster on Saturday.
Rob Baxter said Exeter were ‘getting towards last chance saloon’ in the run-up to this pulsating victory against an ever-improving Bath. Although the hosts eventually ground out a bonus-point success on a cold, bright day in Devon, the ultimate outcome of their bid for the playoffs remains out of their hands. Second-half tries by Billy Keast, Stuart Hogg and Santiago Grondona decisively put an end to Bath’s resistance, while their top-four rivals Gloucester were defeated at home by Wasps. Welcome news for the Exeter fans, although Gloucester’s two matches in hand may yet prove decisive. For Exeter, a club that have finished in the Premiership’s top two for each of the past six seasons, including a hat-trick of first-place finishes from 2018-2020, it is unwelcome territory.
Rob Baxter is prepared to meet with English rugby chiefs to discuss their succession plans for Eddie Jones’ departure as head coach, but insists clarity over the nature of the role is needed.
Leicester Tigers will be back in Gallagher Premiership action this weekend against Exeter Chiefs.
Exeter moved back into the Premiership play-off zone with a 19-12 victory over Sale Sharks at Sandy Park.
