I'm glad you're pleased LOL (as opposed to my remarks regarding Poite..). Getting into the HEC is somewhat easier for me because of the number of internationals in a team like RM92 who I have followed on and off since Frans Steyn signed for them and they came into the Top14. On paper certainly they look impressive; just look at that line-up of world class props!!! I know there is a greater focus on the scrum in the NH and that the French season is insanely long but damn!! The only place I see them as lacking is in the 2nd row though I have to admit that apart from Kruger and Van der Merwe I don't know the others too well. Kruger is decent enough but I dont think he is the type of lock you want in a tight match and indeed I don;t want him playing for the Springboks and think we have better options locally; and thus that RM has gone for the wrong man. Actually apart fro Mujati I think RM92's selectors has gone for SA players that aren't as good as they could have easily gotten.
I'm not too well versed on the relative form of these other teams but would I be correct enough in saying that this is probably a reasonably good draw for the Metro men considering the band they found themselves in in the draw?
Also, can anyone recommend a place where one can stream these matches? We only get a selection in SA.
