Stephen Larkham has added to criticism of the captain’s challenge and the dead time being added to games as a result of the World Rugby law trial in the Rainbow Cup.

Munster’s interest in the competition is now minimal thanks to the award of four match points to pool rivals Benetton after the cancellation of Saturday’s final pool match at Ospreys due to Covid-19 cases in the Welsh region’s camp.
