1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$-3\sqrt{7r^3} \cdot 6\sqrt{7r^2}$$.
2. **Recall the formula:** The product of square roots is the square root of the product: $$\sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{ab}$$.
3. **Apply the formula:**
$$-3\sqrt{7r^3} \cdot 6\sqrt{7r^2} = (-3)(6) \sqrt{7r^3 \cdot 7r^2} = -18 \sqrt{49 r^{5}}$$
4. **Simplify inside the square root:**
$$\sqrt{49 r^{5}} = \sqrt{49} \cdot \sqrt{r^{5}} = 7 \cdot \sqrt{r^{5}}$$
5. **Simplify the radical with exponents:**
Recall that $$\sqrt{r^{5}} = r^{\frac{5}{2}} = r^{2} \cdot r^{\frac{1}{2}} = r^{2} \sqrt{r}$$.
6. **Substitute back:**
$$-18 \cdot 7 \cdot r^{2} \sqrt{r} = -126 r^{2} \sqrt{r}$$
**Final answer:** $$\boxed{-126 r^{2} \sqrt{r}}$$
