[QUOTE="loratadine, post: 87735"] thts o garas point, he said tht there is this believe instilled in people tht english rugby, both internationally and domestically is stronger thn tht of its competitors, and he blames sky for the way they overhype the gp. the gp is strong dont get me wrong, but i think its unfair to say tht only two sides in the ml are capable, im guessing your implying leinster and munster. both are capable, but there are other who are capable too. ulster for one, ospreys for two, scarlets for three, are all more than capable of lifting the hec. english clubs did nothing last year in the hec, the ml was far better represented and produced the winner, and argruably the side who played the best rugby. the challenge cup has always been poorly represented by the ml and isnt a fair reflection of the ml. the gp has alot more strength in depth, but i think the top 6 of the ml, are stronger than that of the gp. put it this way, if munster leinster ulster ospreys and scarlets were in the gp, how would the gp look? i think itd be very interesting thts for sure, it just angers me that the english press seem to have a complete totalt disrespect towards the ml, as if its some second rate league cast in the shadows by the gp. i mean the national newspaper of britain never covers the ml, even though there three countries are all competing in that very league, tis aint a rant at english people, its a rant at how the media, has instilled this arrogant heirachal mentallity into the english game, sky has to take the blame. as ronan o gara said, im sometimes watching sky, and the commentators will be like "look at this quality rugby, you wont find it anywhere else" and im like" what the f***, so what they scored from a rolling maul, whats the big shock" [/QUOTE]
