[QUOTE="DC, post: 159512"] Will you please drop this bullshit idyllic view you have of the Magners League. For starters, although not perfect, the Guinness Premiership is [b]nothing[/b] like you make it out to be. Secondly, I'm sure all Welsh, Scottish and Irish supporters will readily admit that there are some truly terrible matches which take place in the Magners League. Yes, some of the sides like to throw it around a bit, but so do teams like Gloucester, Saracens and (up until we were relegated) Northampton. I've sat and watched mistaken-ridden snooze-fests between the Celtic comestic teams, just as I have between their English counterparts. Grow up and stop taking an anti-GP stance just because you think it makes you look cool. I don't care if you are four twenty-sevenths Irish, I'm sure I watch just as much Magners League as you, and can instantly point out that it isn't this flowing rugby heaven you make it out to be. It has some excellent sides and some great flowing rugby, but so does every league. Come back and argue about it when you are mature enough to give an objective and balanced view. [/b][/quote] Foreward play = boring to me at least.. and thats what they do in the GP, its their bread and butter. And are there not absolutely terrible matches that occur in the super 14?
