[QUOTE="jonny24, post: 665443, member: 62880"] Well, I started watching pro rugby last year. I'll be honest, I just liked Leicester's kit and it stuck. No other reason, no connection to any particular part of England. Oh, I did make sure they weren't a ****ty team, I've been a Leafs fan for far too long to put up with more of that. Didn't really mean to pick the team with the most ***les, but the more I watched them the more I liked them. Especially Toby Flood, too bad he's leaving. Over the course of the season I started following Bath and Quins too as back up teams. Dislike Saints, try as I might I can't hate Sarries so they get respect as a tough opponent and good club. Mom has a friend in Glasgow so I support them, also I support Scotland in the 6 nations for the same reason. My family is (like two generations ago) from all over the UK and Ireland so not a lot to go off. Tried getting into super rugby but none of them did much for me. Haven't been able to grasp much identity or anything from them. Heck the NZ teams even all have the same sponsors and jerseys almost, it's like watching house league. So I just cheer for the Aussie teams, NZ are too good so no fun to support and dislike SA for some reason. [/QUOTE]
