Yes.. but I wonder how many of our current pack could get into the Clermont pack?
Probably only 1 (Marcell), maybe 3 at a push (Best and an in-form Hendo). I don't expect them to match Clermont. I'm just hoping that he is able to raise performance and improve technique to a point that the pack can hold its own and provide decent ball to our backline.

The packs technique (other than Marcell's cameo) at the breakdown and clearing out of rucks was shocking all season.

Most of our pack couldn't get into a Multi-pack of crisps.
I know logic seldom comes into play around these parts, but is this thread following the same logic as the Scots claiming to be Wendyball world champions because they bate Engurrlund after the 1966 (IT DIDNT CROSS THE FECKIN LINE) Wendyball World Cup?

One caveat on above. If there's food involved our Rodders could get into any pack.

Yes, I do believe this makes us champions of the Top 14, Pro 12 and the Premiership. Maybe Les Kiss isn't so bad after all?

The Triple Crown wasn't a real trophy until somebody suddenly decided it was. Fit should get himself round to Prestige Trophies and buy the biggest piece of tat they have. Silverware!!!! :cheers: :fleg:

Is the old interprovincial trophy still awarded?

Winning the interprovincial trophy to me would mean more than topping the league during the regular season.....
