[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 846371, member: 58362"] Apparently I'm in a minority in putting my club first, then country, province (county as we're in England) then international. To me, there is no way that watching England play can compete with the connection I have with a club I've followed since youth, represented in the past, turn up to watch in all winds and weathers every other week and have a say in the running of. If I was to move away and was no longer able to watch my club, club and country would probably switch positions. As it stands, watching England's abject World Cup was disappointing and frustrating, but nowhere near as much of a low blow as it would be to have to turn up and watch my club have a terrible season. Looking at the crowds at Twickenham on Bill Beaumont Final day, I imagine that only a Cornishman would put county rugby ahead of the Lions, the passion for county rugby down here is massive, many would put Cornwall way ahead of England in the pecking order. I'm not anti-Lions at all, but compared to the other three, it's a once in a while nicety. [/QUOTE]
