[QUOTE="Sir Speedy, post: 165284"] Like I said, their squad has so much strength in depth, that the only way they can be struggling like a bunch of unfit fatties is because of poor coaching. Surely you've heard people talk about Lyn Jones' coaching abilities before? He's not awful, but with a squad this talented, I think they should have beaten Gloucester away; because realistically this squad are capable of winning the Cup. I don't believe they'll finish first in the pool, unless Gloucester seriously cock-up against Bourgoin in their fortress (so unlikely it's not worth mentioning, although the Ospreys did fail to get the 5 points against them in Swansea), Gloucester deserve to top it. If you think I'm a supporter of the Ospreys, you're really wrong. I know this sounds pretty bad from a Welshman, but I don't support them at all. Ulster are in so much trouble now, the O's should be looking for a 40 - 50 point win. I don't expect you to say anything different about Gloucester, they can make the semi's (depending on their quarter final opposition and whether they're at home or not), and even the final (also depending on their opposition. No doubt, they are good enough to make it to the Millenium Stadium next May, but I think there are many better sides at the moment that may knock them out on the way (Toulouse or Munster anyone?) I'm glad my writing excites you, and I hope I've exceeded your expectations this time. Also, if you didn't know, I meant the Ospreys could get shredded by a French side (In a previous post), not Gloucester. Also, to add to that, Bourgoin are nothing special, Gloucester playing Toulouse away would be a much different result ;) [/QUOTE]
