[QUOTE="RC, post: 186237"] Personally, i can't "face it". In my opinion the super 14 is by no means far superior to the HEC. We have some absolutely amazing games, with amazing history behind them. I can't sit down and watch a super 14 match very often becase there is no interest there for me. As a neutral i can enjoy some of the rugby on display, but i'm clueless to a majority of the players. You can moan all you want about resources but in regards to this we shouldn't need to say "given the situation we're in...we're better." It's a comparison of the two competitions...not a comparison of the two competitions considering the situation you're in. I don't really care what situation you're in, as far as i'm concerned i will always see HEC as superior - no it doesn't **** all over super 14, of course not, becuase there are so many talented players down there - and it's not becuase we have more money, not because we have so many different countries providing so many different teams and players of different styles and abilities, but simply becuase i'm biased. Like you're biased towards the super 14, i don't think you can objectively say which is the better and neither can i. But i sure as hell know which i prefer. I know that with our clubs bringing some great players from the SH and with the great crop of players we have here makes me enjoy this; i know that with the money the competition offers everyone puts their heads down and plays like they haven't all season (see ospreys and munster); I know that with so much history and so much braggings rights that each game is a tense ride throughout; I know that to each fan - and probably players and clubs - this is the one competition you [i]want to win the most[/i]. Those are the reasons i enjoy the HEC and those are the reasons i believe that neither you or i can argue one competition over the other: we're too biased. [/QUOTE]
