[QUOTE="sionlikesmusic, post: 214640"] I can't believe how arrogant the Ospreys managmenet and players are after reading the article on BBC Sport's website about them "laying down the gauntlet." Both Shaun Connor and Sean Holly have said that all 3 of the other regions need to shape up to keep up with the Ospreys, claiming that they will ease ahead of the other 3 regions in the League as they have "little pressure". What a load of bullshit. Sorry, but if the Ospreys are as good as they make themselves out to be, then why couldn't they keep Justin Marshall? Why have they underperformed in competitions like last year's Heineken Cup when, as every Osprey at the time would make clear, most of the Wales team came from the Ospreys region? Not only that, but they are making out that the Blues will be under pressure from them this year. Again, they have no evidence to back this up. Granted, they won the Magners League 2 seasons ago, but overall, for the last 3/4 years, the Blues have been the most consistent, finishing 2nd in the League for the past 2 seasons. I'm sorry if you think that this may seem biased since I am a Blues fan, but this incident is another example of one of the biggest problems in Welsh rugby: we all seem to have to fight each other. Yes, the Magners League is a competitive and professional competition, but when the Ospreys make such a ridiculous claim as this then you wonder what the hell is going on. I'm not saying that the Ospreys aren't capable of doing what they say they can, but anyone who has two brain cells to rub together will remember how they underperformed so badly last season after all the pundits labeled them the best of the Welsh regions. There's no need for it. [/QUOTE]
