4PP mate, its a good thing you're an hour ahead of us here, because it'd be seriously socially unacceptable to be that drunk at 10 past 6.

The welsh have the same advantages as to qualification and what have they done in the comp throughout the years with this "well established unfair advantage". Its not unfair, every country has to have representation. What would be unfair would be ireland/wales losing out on places in HEC to more english/french sides

Of course we do. English and French clubs are private and play in competitive domestic leagues, they have to fight for their survival there's no bail outs, They can't molly coddle guys like we do over here, your on a contract and you get your arse out there and play every week.

If you actually do a bit of research you will find that they play no more rugby than Irish players. In fact many front line players in France and England play fewer minutes in a season.

Your view takes into a/c Irish or British drinking mores, its somewhat different on the continent, healthier too

Love to say I was half cut, at least I could hide behind that instead of holding my hand up to a massive balls up
