[QUOTE="Teh Mite, post: 403467, member: 12332"] Must be the difference then between typical Club and Provincial rugby supporters then. Our lot never go down the glory hunters route of celebrating any success for any side we have no interest in otherwise, (and frankly towing the "they're English" line would be a bloody weak excuse IMO). So far as I'm concerned what Neil Francis said was bang out of order, any neutral has the right to pick whom they want - The mentality in club teams here is typically to prefer whoever is against the rival. Describing anyone as a disgrace for making a different choice to what he would though smacks of hypocracy. That's the part which bugs me, especially as I suspect he'd have a very different attitude if UNoR were in the final against Leinster. [/QUOTE]
