It'll be Giteau running the show instead, which isn't necessarily a move which weakens the team. They are still nailed-on favourites for next year

Could have been worse though I fully expect Toulon to give us a good shoeing at Mayol. Perhaps it's a good thing getting to play them early in the tournament to figure them out for the final?
I'm not too sure about that. Given our group I can't really see 2 teams escaping. I would see Group 5 as a good bet for 2 teams qualifying, with possibly Group 4 as the next most likely. After that Group 2 would be my next favourite with only one team from Groups 1 and 3.

Cant wait to hear Logies speech on the draw, maybe better to keep the Cowboy as a scapegoat.
“For the liespotter who knows how to listen well, the random words, sounds, and phrases in a person's speech are never as random as they seem. They offer a clear sightline into the liar's psyche.”

Having a coaching team in place is cheating!
Will we be allowed to have 15 players on the pitch next season, or is that cheating too?

Ulster to win all home games and away game to Scarlets.

I'm very strangely confident.

Who did Gloucester get?

I reckon on doing the double on Tiggers again as well so bonus points to split us and Toulon to top the group.

Hopefully we can have a fair crack at Toulon with decent injury luck.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?
