thats the spirit. I like both codes but prefer League as itis, in my opinion, faster and more exciting

I've just never got into RL. Maybe it was the Eddie Waring effect from TV in my young days. And the six tackle rule I don't like. But I'll try to keep am eye on the World Cup.

H Cup starts this weekend... maybe for the last time ever. Great competition, though. Predictions this year? Probably a French win again, I reckon. Of the English clubs, Saracens might be a decent bet, though they've got to get through a pool with Toulouse in it.

I seen that. I reckon the Irish teams will have a hard time of it this year, Leinster seem to have a very hard group. As its BODs last year tho Im gonna let my heart rule my head and say Leinster to win it

A pretty fine first weekend of rugby in the H.Cup. Some good games, and excellent tries.

Good start by Leinster, Niall, shows they'll be in with a shout again this year.

Very good wins by Scarlets (I was impressed by them) and Edinburgh.

But Toulon looked awesome, and have such a strong squad. They'll be hard to beat.

It was FH. I would not like to be in SO'Bs way when he is running at full tilt. Man is an absolute beast

After the initial shock, my feelings too, Aled.
I thought the Scarlets were very impressive at the weekend. Though Quins do seem pretty clueless this season.

I had a long conversation with a friend from Worcester recently about which of our respective counties are more useless in the cricket currently. I'm not sure who won. I can't imagine anyone truly being more rubbish than Essex.

Well done, moose. But Twickenham prices are ludicrous. I think I'll be there too, down at pitchside. Though no tickets have arrived yet. Much as I support the postal workers' strike, I'll feel happier when I've got the tickets in my hand.
