[QUOTE="Rugby_Cymru, post: 88567"] I'd have thought the Top 14 was the most competitive league. [/b][/quote] I was about to stick my head in with that comment also. It has to be the French league that is the most competitive. But between Magners and Guinness it's a tough choice. I think there are some people on this board that really forget what celtic league rugby is like during the horrid winter months. Oh the rain! The cold! The crappy surfaces! Dark Nights and bluster winds! A perfect recipe for an atrocious dispaly of "professional rugby". All of you guys who voted for Magners League, please tell me you haven't forgotten all the shocking games we've witnessed where handling errors crawl into the 30's for BOTH teams; where the final score of the match turns out to be 12-9 because nobody can hold onto the ball long enough to score a try; and where the whole game is just a mess of bad-kicking for territory and falling over each other like a Benny Hill sketch. The Magners League for a majority of the season is a very ugly one in my eyes and only and the beginning and towards the end do we get to see our "fast flowing game". Then again, i am not saying that the Guinness premiership is any better. From what i've seen in those conditions they do exactly the same as us. Yet more often than not i see the GP coming out with more tries during a horrendous game. My idea of a nightmarish game is where the teams are only competitive by penalty points. I curse both sides for having wasted 80 mins of my life when i watch such games as those. But on their day, i've seen some awesome, brutal games from the GP. Where the backs front up as much as the forwards and where the tries are as spectacular as some of the hits. And the ML, as it is doing right now, shows some amazing displays of creative running, great passing and stunning on the ball-off the ball play. I choose ML, but that's only because my Welsh regions are there week in week out for me to support. As far as superiority is concerned, i couldn't call. [/QUOTE]
