Season of Goodwill: Who is your next favourite club?

[Mr. Grumpy]

We often focus on the negatives of other clubs – supporters booing kickers, uncontested scrummages, etc. So as it is the season of goodwill, I thought I might ask which other clubs any of you have a soft spot for?

I have a liking for London Irish. Okay, they don’t play too many Irish players these days, but they seem to be a well run club and their supporters generally have the right spirit and attitude about them.

I also wish Bristol well in their relegation battle, given the efforts and nature of their supporters.

Tigers A team

I would go for Quins to be honest, their style of rugby this season has been really impressive to watch. Other than english teams, i really like Munster, although some of their fans who dont think O'Gara can put a foot wrong, are slowly putting me off . Its always nice to watch Brive now with Goodey and Cohen playing.

For me, in the GP it would either be London Irish or Worcester as I have friends that played for both clubs. Outside of the GP, it has to be Munster - great side and good fans.

Munster, USAP, Stade and Brive.

In England Northampton and Irish.

After a fantastic visit there this year, Treviso are my second team ! Fantastic ground, clubhouse, team and supporters !

Sale, and maybe worryingly for a Tigers fan, Bath (they happen to be quite nice to watch!)

Munster is an interesting one, their supporters are superb (met a few in Edinburgh last year) though i dont necessarily want them to win everytime they play!

And i also happen to quite enjoy watching Wales, and want Argentina to win the world cup!

That covers every base i think ;)

Bath????

<spit>

They are the enemy. They are consumate cheaters and not worthy of a place in the Premiership. They play in a ridiculous waterlogged stadium and have to clear the ducks off the pitch before kick off. Their supportes do not speak the Queens English - Cuum en Baaarrff?

Love 'em ter pieces!

Munster ?...hmmmm...great supporters but don't care much for the team.

lets hope we can show similar hospitality when you come down in january.

after being with you lot in two finals Leicester has to be my second team :)

Have to say that Northampton is my second favourite - nice RUGBY stadium and a good day out.

[Gate]

There are only Leicester (club) and Ulster ( province). I might allow Ballymena (club), but that's a stretch. If all three win, it's a good weekend's work.

And here was me fighting shy of admitting to Northampton

My grandma was born there.

Bill, always a good day out down at Northampton. Good to have the local derby game back in the schedule.

Indeed it is! Nice ground Franklins Gardens.
