Not exactly fantastic journalism. No insight as to why is
happening, no suggestions for how to fix it....
But yes if rather be in with a shot of winning the challenge cup
than getting smashed in the champions cup!

Yes, in the last season or so, the English teams don’t look as
good as a couple of seasons back. Leinster/Ireland aside, and
even then only the scale of the victory was a surprise, were any
of the opening weekend results that much of a shock? Bath
should’ve won and would have but for Burns, Exeter v Munster was
played in ludicrous conditions. Gloucester could do anything
from do well to bomb and Sarries will be there or there abouts.
Don’t get me wrong, all is not rosy but all that article does is
sling mud and, in typical English rugby journo style, royally
put the boot in. And anyway, the opening weekend isn’t even over
yet.

Well seeing as no promotion relegation in Pro 14 they only seem
to focus on Champions cup, as some games it looks like they run
out their a team unless it’s a local derby
The French also seem more focussed on Europe as the main goal
with top 14 coming second
The English side have the Premiership, Europe and now the
premiership shield, and also relegation so it’s hardly
surprising, also with no Tv coverage on challenge cup in the UK
for round 1-6 you can see that going down the pecking order of
importance with no Tv revenue
Look at the amount of games the English players have compared to
the others.
That being said looking forward to Grenoble next weekend and
being in a competition we could do well in, here’s hoping

To save you all a little time, a summary of the article is:

I haven't read a single article or comment from a fan that
suggested Saturday was going to be some sort of judgement day,
or that English clubs were going to right some wrongs of last
season. I presume this writer is just making stuff up.

Twas ever thus but it is our job to dissect, discern and cut
through the bodily waste.

Quite. I haven’t heard anything of the sort from any of the
English clubs. All the article was missing was some form of
‘arrogant English’ type comment.
