[quote="biffer"]I understand those complaints, but 1) it's up to individual unions how they set up their own domestic games and who qualifies for Europe from their own country. Much as they'd like to, the RFU are not responsible for organising the domestic rugby of all the other countries ...

Re: Aironi Dropping out of RABO Direct PRO12 League

Whitecap tiger you have it pretty much bang on. The fact that ulster today played a mammoth game, went down to 14 men for 10 minutes, and still used no subs gives the distinct impression that they really don't care that much about their own league, seeing as they've basically got automatic qualifica...
