[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 665477, member: 71068"] Guess I should probably answer my own question. Wasps fan because my local club in East London when I was growing up was a feeder club for Wasps and a few of us ended up in their youth system (this is early 90’s), and ever since then coupled with the fact a few of my friends have played pro for them I’ve just felt a bit an attachment to them. Similarly I like Stade Francais because I lived about 5mins walk from the ground when I first landed in Paris and again I have a couple of friends who played for them for the first couple of years I was in France. Country? Well born and grew up in England so support, uhm, England. My Family is actually Scottish so I follow their results closely – we’re 1st Generation so my brother and sister who were both born and grew up in London will support Scotland over England. They and my dad will literally support anyone but England, which really grips my sh*t. :) I love calling my dad the day after a decent England performance and trolling him into admitting England actually are a decent team (though he can never bring himself to say they played well). Like everyone though I like good teams that play good rugby so outside of wanting Wasps to do well I’ll follow whomever is a playing the rugby I enjoy most. [/QUOTE]
