[QUOTE="ShaheenJ, post: 247819"] The European clubs are only looking good coz the bulk of the teams consist of a mass exodus of South African players (that couldn't make the grade back home and/or either retired from International Rugby) and retired All Blacks and young All Blacks only going for money. Take all the southern hemisphere players out of your Heineken cup and we'll see how crap it really is :P. Um... maybe this list will help...

We're proud of our Rugby and will always be dominant over Northern Hemisphere because we groom young talent and have an abundance thereof. That's why the National Teams simply cannot compete with us. 1 solitary victory over Australia during the entire tour last season - shocking. [/QUOTE]
