Re: 2023/2024 European Challenge Cup
Loving this osprey v sale game. This is the type of rugby they're trying to outlaw with their new fvcking law changes.
Ospreys are massively under pressure, but won't allow sale to scrum and are fvcking every ruck up. Great stuff, and a well deserved lead at half time
