of course,and so they should IMO - it's great to see the scots teams as well

Fair points. However you know what I mean. Sky is based in England, most of the viewers are English and most of the neutrals who are checking out a game on the off chance won't have heard of Munster or Leinster. There should be a better split and the likes of Stuart Barnes on commentating make it ridiculous with the talk of how good they are.

Where are those Munster fans when they play at home?

Munster sell out most of their home games. Most games, even in the Magners League get at least 20,000 but usually around the 26,000 sell out mark. Now and again they play a game in Cork at a smaller ground but mostly they sell their games near capacity.

I have not heard from you in a while.
Where have you been,although in saying that I heard it does take quite a while to sew them leather patches on your jackets.

Yet another night of one-sided games. A couple of really embarrassing games tonight and expect a few more this weekend.

Full credit to Gloucester for slaughtering an overweight, unfit bunch of carthorses.

can't beleive the quality of Agen - watched them against Racing & Biarritz and they looked a different team plus a great atmosphere - talk about chalk and cheese ?

Surprised to see England favourites for the Five nations (and Italy). Says a lot about union in the northern hemisphere.

There are too many sub standard teams in European union. It's time to cast off the weak and make both competitions strong and entertaining to watch.
Discuss.
