For me Ospreys or Toulouse. I love fast attacking Rugby.

My second team after Tigers would be Munster. I got tickets for the HC Final against Wasps a few years ago thanks to their fans selling them here at face value, and I thought that was a great gesture. Plus they've donated a lot of money to the Matt Hampson Trust, so overall, Munster, just for their fans, a credit to the sport!

Could never support another GP club unless Leicester Lions make it there(my old club in a different incarnation).Canterbury Crusaders are the only results I look for in the SH(I confess to wearing their shirt on occasion)Welsh would be the O's though I used to like the old Cardiff quartered blue shirt(?).Scotland is Montrose(they're my local team and I work with one of the lads)Don't have any others though I will support any of the home nations teams against the french in the HC.

Welsh - Ospreys
Ireland - Munster
France - Toulouse

Biarritz as my best friends in France live in the next village (Bidart) and are members as BOPB. in the GP it would have to be Sarries firstly because of their geographical proximity to where I live now and secondly beacuse I think they are building a tidy outfit there.

Seconded.

I also have a soft spot for Wasps. It's a swamp in Florida.

I can find time for Quins and Bath at the moment, but that is because they are playing the best rugby in England.

After so many classic run-ins with Stade Francais in recent years I must admit to having a soft spot for them. If Tigers can't win the HC, I would really like to see the Parisians (finally) claim the cup.

For me it has to be Northampton - great club, great ground, solid and passionate support. It was to their credit that most of the team stayed when they were relegated (apart from Cohen the rat) and got them back up.

Munster have great support and a fantastic stadium but Oooooooh they play a boring brand of rugby, that HC final against Toulouse was won by the team trying to win it and not by the team trying to play rugby!

Northampton (4)
Harlequins (3)
London Irish (2)
Ospreys (2)
Stade Francais (2)
Toulouse (2)
Brive (2)
Canterbury Crusaders (2)
Bath (2)
Treviso (2)
Montrose (1)
Saracens (1)
Biarritz (1)
Ulster (1)
Worcester (1)
Bristol (1)
Leicester Lions (1)
Tigers A (1)
Perpignan (1)
Sale (1)

Anyone for Blankety Blank? How about London Wasps are a blank blank? Perhaps not.

I have to add that the welcome we received at Welford Road was second to none, so my fav second team would be the Tigers (and I am not saying that to get more people to attend my get together for the game in January !)

I like Quins.
My dads old boss is assitant head coach, so whenever we play them I get the chance to meet up with the players. They've been very nice, and I do like the fact that we've played them 22 times and only lost once. That is a big insentive to like them :smt003

Should've beaten them on saturday, but a draw is better than nothing.
