Very strong.
Montpellier took an anthology rouste in Ireland on the move to the province of Leinster, in the European Cup.

Dakuwaqa was also expelled at the end of the match.
Irish revenge
The Montpellier bottle class, like the young center Karl Martin who was making his debut in the first team, was sent to the front against almost complete and revengeful Irishmen.
Leinster felt aggrieved by the decision of the ECPR (the body managing the European cups), in the first leg.
In mid-December, the quadruple European champions, affected by the Covid-19, had not been able to go to Hérault and had been beaten on the green carpet (28-0).
Even as the MHR was in turn the subject of several cases of Covid-19 a few days later.
Then the ECPR decided to postpone the opposition between French and British clubs due to the epidemic outbreak the following weekend.
Without going back on his decision to sanction Leinster…
