The news that the French have betrayed the English and committed to the ERC structure will be greeted by many as just deserts for a group that has looked to jeopardise the future of the game for their own profit. While there is still a long way to go in terms of the future of the European competition and the tournament will obviously be best served with the English included, I decided to have a very quick look at some of the things we might see next season without the English.
In no particular order:
- The Ospreys will finally deliver on all their potential
Sure there is always next year lads…. - The Ospreys will go out in the pool stages after losing 3 on the bounce
- There will be less teams mullered at Lansdowne Road and Thomond Park
- BT wont “own rugby”??????
- The French wont notice
- We will hopefully hear less from Bruce Craig
- Ulster MIGHT win the competition
- There will be no Gavin ‘Mr Potential’ Henson
- Clermont will choke
- Welsh rugby players will continue to leave Wales
- The ERC citing and discipline board will be busy dealing with the French, as per usual
Can you spare some change for my rugby club please? Please??? - Regardless of who wins the tournament, Sky Sports commentators will rue what might have been if the English had been involved
- The Celtic League clubs will NOT be ruined
- Mourad Boudjellal will do and/or say something mental
- The Celtic League will be noted for its inferiority to the Premiership
There will be less of this (Rugbydump.com)
