Guinness Pro 12? for 14/15

[Russ]

Today's result speaks volumes about Munster's performance in week one. In fact, so far I haven't been impressed in the slightest by Munster yet.

Theyve been tom kite. But my ranking analysis shows they havent yet played a side above second string

What? Zebs showed his undoubted class running in a hat trick against Zebre! Nailed on for starting all three autumn internationals.... it'll be an out cry.... an out cry if it doesn't happen.

Joe doesn't know what he's doing, doesn't know what he's doing.

Zebs Zebs Zebs - he's great.

Tom kite except for Zebs you mean Russ

He's so under rated

He's an over rated chube

I'm a bit concerned about some of the thrashings administered so far this season. I was expecting it for Treviso, but thought Zebre may make a better fist if it early on. Edinburgh gave some hope week 1, and I haven't given up yet, but too many spankings like those, even if mixed with better performances are bad for the team receiving them (obviously), but also for the league as a whole.

[english arrogance]Thats so true. But what else would you expect from you Celts and your impoverished amateur league. You'd never see that happen in the (world cup winning) ENGLISH AVIVA PREMIERSHIP RUGBY LEAGUE... erm RUGBY UNION of course, with the might of Leicester, the power of Gloucester and the strength of the Harlequins.[/english arrogance]

Is Zebos "UNDER RATED" tag a message to Joe or a message to Munster re: spreadsheet?

Maybe it's a message to his girlfriend. Perhaps he really is very quick.

I asked the same question over on the Munster thread on Friday night

To quote a particularly coarse former colleague:


'It's not about size, it's about the speed of yer Brennan.'

[Russ]

He really ia a vile human being.
His want to be the focus of the Lions DVD really did him no favours.

Pop culture wannabe who should be told to catch himself on before he gets back on a rugby field

A lot in what you say BR. I would already be prepared to take a stab at final placing and feel reasonably confident:

GLASGOW
LEINSTER
ULSTER
OSPREYS
MUNSTER
SCARLETS
CARDIFF
CONNACHT
DRAGONS
ZEBRE
EDINBURGH
TREVISO

Obviously there are things that could effect that - like results , injury a big one for almost all teams without depth - Leinster Weegies and us barring a few positions the exceptions.

I'd be confident that no team will finish more than 2 & at the most 3 places from where I've placed them, such is the predictability of the strength of each.

We have a league where there are 6 teams likely to be at one end of the table for the foreseeable future, 6 at the other.

For a minute I thought you were talking about Jihad, then I checked back a few posts. Even Jihad isn't that bad.

Imagine a chube who took the video camera, wore a hate saying dope, keeps dancing like he is in a street dance video and tries to talk street to people trying to relax and chill out on a rest day.

Now, add reimagine that chube as Zebo, double the doucheness and add extra street clothes and talk. You're now halfway to thinking of how embarrassing he is

[bazzaj]

Next round the Ospreys are playing Glasgow away and Connacht have Munster away and I think we can truely judge how good they are from those games.

Don't think so....

Fri 26 Sep 19:35 Edinburgh Rugby v Scarlets BT Murrayfield ALBA/BBCW
Fri 26 Sep 19:35 Glasgow Warriors v Connacht Rugby Scotstoun Stadium
Fri 26 Sep 19:35 Leinster Rugby v Cardiff Blues RDS Arena TG4
Sat 27 Sep 16:00 Zebre v Ulster Rugby Stadio XXV Aprile BBC2NI
Sat 27 Sep 18:30 Munster Rugby v Ospreys Thomond Park Sky
Sun 28 Sep 16:00 NG Dragons v Benetton Treviso Rodney Parade S4C

Apologies wrong way round but my point still stands.
Elsewhere Dragons need that home win or its hard to see who they will beat.
Already enjoying this season a lot more on the whole as more is at stake with limited European qualification places.
Its not just all about the usual 5 or 6 teams battling for the play offs.

[Setanta]

Yes but qualification had long been agreed in the HEC; the battle was for control. I'm still a UNION man; moreover I'm still an unforgiving Union man. Lest we forget!

[bazzaj]

Wasn`t speaking from a political perspective but just a rugby one.
