  1. Add to that the spankings ulster dealt to Leicester and Saints over past couple of seasons and it’s just total arrogance. 2012 also saw Edinburgh in the other semi. Morons.

  2. Let them have it and while there at it they can have their own ‘Two Nations’ competition as well.

  3. Point taken. It’s always always about the English.

  4. English and French beneath contempt. SUFTUM ,Leinster,Munster,Connacht and the Welsh clubs. Hope the Franglish fall on their arse.

  5. english team has to win this year then 😉 … good picture though
