[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 71461"] No, c'mon, it means that 9 teams from 1 league are in the worlds elite competition... Why do Boarders and Glasgow, who finished 9th and last, qualify yet Newport, who finished 8th and therefore were a better and more deserving team, don't? It's a bullshit qualification system based on the pre celtic league days when it wasn't garanteed each year that (deep breath), Leinster, Munster, Ulster, Scarlets, Blues, Ofspreys, Edinborough, Boarders and Glasgow get in. Hell, it's total bullshit that all the scottish sides get in even nomatter what. It devalues the tournament. [/QUOTE]
