[QUOTE="edinburgh_gunner, post: 85260"] I was wacthing something earlier (might have been the Scarlets v. Quinns game) and one of the pundits had picked up on the fact that the top ML teams play a fast, flowing rugby and the GP teams seem to play a slower and more predictable game. I think that this is true, from what I've seen so far this year and especially during the anglo-welsh cup where the Ospreys ran rings round Glouscter. The fact that the Euro champs are a ML side, and that they finnished 4th last year in the ML shows how good the top teams in our league are. The GP does have an advantage in that they are all private teams and so players are released for interntional duty and not plucked from their club mid-way through the season. There's also more money down south and bigger crowds and the league is more competitive because of relegation and such. The play-off system is a joke though, and needs to be scrapped. The gap is closing for sure though. [/QUOTE]
