[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1058928, member: 39190"] I hear what you are saying and I am putting the Lions aside- they are a bottom 3 team and if this was a fair world wouldn't be in this comp ahead of the Pumas, Griquas or Cheetahs. But realistically the log shoudl read: Ulster 20 Leinster 19 Munster 16 Glasgow 15 Ospreys 13 [B]Bulls 11[/B] Benetton 10 [B]Stormers 9[/B] Edinburgh 9 Connacht 9 Dragons 7 Cardiff 6 [B]Lions 6[/B] Scarlets 6 [B]Sharks 5[/B] Zebre 1 In my little parallel world, Connacht beat Munster, Stormers beat Edinburgh and the Bulls beat both Cardiff and Edinburgh. Of course that is not the case but I feel it gives a clearer picture of what is actually the relative level these teams are at. Sharks just need some focus or better decision making. They are playing with a full on B side though. That might go some way to explain it. But the SA sides are on a bye thsi week so the log will only further skew things. I expect we shouldn't be expecting finals appearances but I really do expcect it''l even out towards the end of the comp that our top 3 teams will be bottom of the top 8. [/QUOTE]
