[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 158147"] Try again. Nobody except Rob Andrew and Francis Baron, who are both considered blithering idiots on the grandest of scales and neither of which want a domestic game to exist anyway, ever wanted a ringfenced Premiership. That was all claptrap and bullshit coming from the likes of Steven Jones about the same time as O'Gara made his infamous "English teams an players are all over-rated, none of whom can hack it at the top levels of the game". Oh, the irony, just a few months down the road and of the weak home nations, it was those over-rated English players that lifted the HEC, as per usual, and even managed to sneak their way through to the final of the World Cup through sheer bloody mindedness. I don't buy into this "the ML is a competitive league" bullshit, it's a bunch of underfunded union-owned franchises which have all but killed the domestic games in Scotland and Wales, while the 2 big Irish "clubs" only use it for a ticket to get into the HEC. Poor old Connacht neident bother turning up. [/QUOTE]
