[QUOTE="Raggs, post: 767270, member: 72268"] You seem to be blaming the English domestic setup to be partially responsible for the English NT failure. My point was that the Argie players play in comparatively worse conditions (long seasons, no mandated rest, often NH season, followed by TRC meaning no decent time off), and yet they looked far better than we did. Your argument was that they play in the TRC. My question then is how the hell does the English league system make it that England NT doesn't play in the TRC. Could you point out all the british sides that have done so much better than the English ones in the euro cup? Only Leinster made it to the playoffs in the champions cup, there were 4 English sides there. And in the challenge cup 4/5 English teams made it to the playoffs with an English side winning it. Why would we want to play the other British sides any more, they appear to be a lower level than the AP for the most part. [/QUOTE]
