El Salvador 3 - 116 Brive

I thought we beat them well

I think that puts Brive top of the group now. We better put in 2 good performances against them

For those who don't know, the 5 winners go through and 3 teams from the Heineken Cup drop down. So it's ideal to be the highest seeds as it means you get to play the 8th seeded Amlin Cup team.

Jesus Christ, that's loving ridiculous.

Does that qualify as embarrassing?

Ironically, for all the condemnation of football bysome supporters of the rugby codes, I can recall a few examples of death by dangerous driving, but no premeditated murders or attempted murders.

"No better"...

Understatement of the year.

We sure won't have two current murderers in jail by the end of this year. Rugby union will.

Actually, it's three- one of Caerphily's players is also doing porridge for strangling his girlfriend.
