[QUOTE="TheSaffycen, post: 639814, member: 71135"] Can I ask why does anyone care what O'Gara said ? He said that he thinks the Top 14 is a bigger competition than the HCup, so what ? Everyone is entitled to their opinion and some people prefer their domestic league and others Europe. I like both equally just because I am fascinated by the different aspects on show, the Top 14 is like a large arm- wrestle of a league, the HCup is this sort of idealistic rugby(IMO) where everyone attacks and play open flowing rugby. This Top 14 v HCup debate is just bloody stupid, accept each on their own merits. And also when talking about the French don't say to the French what they think ! If they say don't care about the HCup they really don't, it's like me and the champions league, I really don't care who wins it but I will still give it a viewing. The Irish like the HCup as they have had real dominance in it recently, 5 of the last 10 winners has come from Ireland. On a separate note I think you might see a bit of a slump from the Irish teams as they will have to compete on merit in both competitions, something the French and English have had to do for years, it is very hard to compete on both fronts only Saracens, Northampton and Tigers can do in England. This is why France's poor showing in the competition is quite embarrassing as they have 2 or 3 internationals backed up in each position, and they should be able to compete on both fronts considering the English can do it without the budget.
