Saracens are the only team to have won twice in a row - in fact something like three out of four and in four of the last five finals. There is no wage cap in the European Cup/Heineken Cup because if there was then the French teams would not be in it.
As for Leinster and Munster, if you could be bothered to look into it - you would find exactly the same irregularities - companies set up to give players more money, or private benefactors paying wages that the provinces can't afford. Other than that, really should provinces be playing clubs - i think it should be looked at?
How exactly did the world's no 1 team do at the World Cup? Watch out for those panes of glass. As for the rest - the only Northern Hemisphere team to have won a World Cup is England. I hope Ireland are still ranked above England as that demonstrates what a total joke the rankings are. What were the recent scores between the two sides - do you need reminding?
Ireland were sh!te at the world cup and no amount of cheating would have even helped. If it could, I'm sure it would have been done - judging by Ireland's olympic record and Jamie Heaslip's autobiography where he quite clearly demonstrated a doping culture - which he was too stupid to even realise he had done.

[Last 4 meetings between Ireland and England, since you ask, is two wins each! In last 15 years, Irish teams have won the european cup 6 times, English teams 4 times, and the head to head eupopean cup wins is currently Leinster 4 saracens 3- not bad for a country of 5 million v a country of 65 million i think!Sorry for stating the facts, but you did ask!

Indeed. And with regard to the paragraph you wrote that I quote below, let me say I could not agree with you more!:

"Its not just the cheating that gets me, its the way you drink it up, turning a blind eye if it suits your cause, sir mo farah, the somalian, sir bradley wiggins, the belgian, sir chris hoye, somewhere in africa i think, but all british,,,,,,and none of them touched a bit of the steroids delivered to their coaches base, all good british athletes, all completely roid free, now saracens, you enjoy it if it gives you a buzz ,nothing wrong with living on fantasy island if it makes you happy!"

Why don't we bin this football malarkey and become a rugby club instead? With the professionalism -- and budget -- we could stride the world stage.

(I'm not serious but have sometimes wondered if the club/community would benefit from a CPRFC -- there's no quality rugby for miles around, and junior rugby is laughably under coached.)

I must admit i used to hate rugby as a kid and only started paying interest in it about 20 years ago, but would prefer to watch the rugby thtse days in the big tournaments, i think its a better game, less cheating to, on the pitch!what saracens get up to off it is anyones guess!

I think you mean Chris Froome, he was born in Kenya and grew up in South Africa, Chris Hoye is from Edinburgh

Stick to watching the rankings. Worked out well for you last time out - if you could be bothered to consider how Ireland did recently, then are they above England? They're just about in touch with England - three places behind. I already stated I'm not a Saracens fan.
Why exactly are provinces playing clubs? And only one six nations country gets away with that.
My only real point is that why even have a wage cap - when no one else does? As for cheating - fans of other English clubs may think that - that's their prerogative. Leinster fans can f*** off back to D4.
Connacht for me.
Anyway, heard all the rubbish about England for the last twenty years. I tend to give as good as I get. I support Ireland except against England. With all the new Dick heads that have jumped on the band wagon since Ireland started winning a couple - I don't think I'll bother. Most championships, most grand slams, most wins - wonder who that is? Good luck in the six nations - new coach for you. Wonder where he came from? Oh yes...
