Who do we LEAST want to win HC?

Post by MelChannerFan »

My choices are:
Opsreys - for obvious reasons
Leinster - they would match our back-to-back wins
Munster - They would have more wins than us.
Saints - In case they beat us to the treble
Toulouse - they have too many already

I guess that leave 3 french teams!

I really want a French side to win.

I want them to go to the world cup full of confidence that there club and national sides are the best in the world.

Then I want England to hammer them in a semi again :smt023

never expected anything different, if we do win, at least you could say you were knocked out by the winners.

Months ago Bill,

I find it amusing that people are saying they dont want us to win, because they don't like us, as opposed to specifying some reasons (rugby related) why they think we aren't up to it.

My opinion, despite the media's assertion that we have a squad of galatico's, our squad has some gaping holes once we get past the first 15, this weekend for example, we head out with a bench of Mitchell, Bevington and Shervington as the replacement front row. All fairly promising young players, but nowhere near the standard required for a bench in the HC quarter final. Compare that with BO's front row replacements, uglier and meaner in every sense.

If our front row stay on the pitch and we compete well at the breakdown, we are in with a shout ... lose either a front rower fat bloke, or at the breakdown, and its going to be a long long afternoon.

Anyhow typing with a busted thumb is a long winded process, my cast keeps hitting the spacebar and I have to retrace my steps every sentence.

I won't ask how you bust your thumb Tircoeds - not sticking it in someones eye I hope!

As you say it is amusing.

Personally, I would like to see Clermont win and they are in with a chance if they can get past Leinster but home advantage is key. But they got close in Swansea and WR this season so they can play away from home.

If you want reasons for Ospreys not to win it try 16 men on the field and dodgy player registrations ( Ricky Janurie).

I'll get my coat.
