[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 917512, member: 56232"] Leinster, Muster, Glasgow Warriors and Scarlets have all beaten prem clubs in the last 2 years, in some cases very convincingly. Leinster are at the top but middle table Pro 14 clubs are also beating top Prem clubs. Exeter can go out and pummel most prem clubs yet I haven't seen them do the same to European clubs. This is because they are the masters of the slower set piece games with league defences but against sides that compete at the ruck and play faster, they struggle. You look at how Exeter struggled with the wind against Munster yet they barely capitalised on it in the first half. English rugby needs a shake up and the longer we leave it, the worse it will get. Do we really want to be in a position where we basically abandon the European games and the international squad because all that matters is bloated clubs playing in a financially unsustainable way beating each other in our own league to the detriment of everything outside it?
