The English and French teams are now threatening to pull out of the Heineken Cup.
Has the bubble finally burst?

Great draw for Munster. Gives them some chance of progressing anyway. Always good to avoid the big French sides.
And they are playing them again after that :lol:
âTestsâ , not for NZ they ainât. I suppose the line is NZ -99 for the 3 game aggregate?
:lol: :lol:
Whatâs the point in that ? Youâd think theyâd hop over to Oz and get hockeyed by them aswell instead of playing the same team 3 times.
If the FAI arranged a tour where you play the same team 3 times, theyâd be ridiculed from pillar to post.
What numpties in the RFAI arranged this ??
Itâs the great rugby tradition of going âon tourâ dontcha know, where men are men, soap is for woofters and all kinds of japery can be gotten up to.
Did ye ever hear some of the stories about what happened on some tour many years ago? Iâm sure thereâs a dvd of it knocking about the place but it was hilarious. Absolutley wonderful high jinkery, and all in the best possible humour.
Good to see the wendyball fans are finding some asument. Coz they wonât find it in Poland thatâs for fucking sure
Congratulations on reaching Anto level of patheticness.
The difference is I wish no Irish side anything other than the best.
Whatâs asument Dan?
Whatâs wendyball?
Something dan and anto play in the showers.
Splendid, battling draw by England in South Africa today. Thatâs an excellent way for Stuart Lancasterâs boys to end a hugely punishing Premiership season.
Warren Gatlandâs Wales team were extremely unlucky to lose to Australia by a point.
Credit also to Scotland for winning in Samoa, always a difficult place to go.
Thereâs some really good work being put in by the British teams with the exception of Ireland at the moment and it augurs well for next yearâs Loins tour.
I have to say Iâm actually enjoying watching Super 15 the last few weeks.
I think the fact that itâs not Europe based and therefore doesnât have the annoying fans element and also has a better class of player means that it has less things to annoy me. Also I was 5/6 on S15 bets this week, which was nice.
Anyway, weâre into the playoffs.
The Queensland Reds are home to the Natal Sharks in the first quarter final.
The Canterbury Crusaders are home to the Bulls from Pretoria in the other quarter final.
Awaiting the winners in the semi finals are the Waikato Chiefs and the Stormers from Cape Town.
In the 2 quarter finals I fancy the Crusaders to beat the Bulls easily enough. The second game is harder to pick. Quade Cooper was cited for a high tackle on Berrick Barnes yesterday so the Reds could be without him. I like the look of the Sharks as well so will keep a close eye on what happens there.
On the competition as a whole I like the Crusaders to win it out. They are currently 11/4 with Ladbrokes. Iâm on the verge of 5 pointing that. They should beat the Bulls. If the Reds win the Crusaders would have to travel to Cape Town. Not ideal but Iâm not convinced by the Stormers, I think they are weak enough #1 seeds. If the Sharks win they go to Cape Town and the Crusaders hop islands to Waikato where they beat the Chiefs a few weeks back.
Both games are Saturday morning. Starting in Christchurch at 8.30am
What you mean is the S15 doesnât have fans that annoy you, coz you donât have to meet em. Cunts ringing cow bells for 80 mins etc! Great rugby in fairness but shockingly poorly attended at times. Would agree its a great betting medium but as a competition it has huge flaws mainly the massive number of dead rubbers from four or five rounds in.
Crusaders for me too. 11/4 is a great price
dancarter in dancarter tipping Dan Carterâs team shocker. 
Quade Cooper is out for the QF. And the reds have become shorter favourites as a result. :strokechin:
dan, Irish rugby fans bug the shit out of me. They keep going to matches and buying into a product that is getting worse and worse.
And an awful lot of fans havenât a clue of the rules. If there was some kind of Republic of Telly type sports show they should have video surveys outside big rugby matches and fans tell them why the ref blew whistle. The output would be hilariously awful. The number of people I have sat beside during matches who have shouted out ridiculous stuff is constant. Oh that was offside because⌠Eh, no it wasnât you tard. And Iâm not even 100% with the rules either but itâs a complicated game but the event junkies havenât a notion.
With Super15 I donât get bombarded with media, the product is better[More attacking with a better quality of player] and I donât have to deal with empty vessels talking about how great any of the teams are because very few people are watching it. Donât get me wrong, the scrum is still a mess and they have changed the rules of the breakdown so much that you play the ref and not the rules but it is watchable.
Rugby of any form is accepted as utter shite
But there was a serious finish to the Roosters Rabbitohs games this evening. Well worth a you tube view. Rabbitohs got two tries in the last couple of mins to win but was an enjoyable second half in truth
