Justin Marshall, scrum-half for the Ospreys cast doubt on English manhood when he made his statement that rugby in the Guinness Premiership is of a lesser standard than that in the Magners Celtic League.
Then Munster fly-half Ronan O’Gara further stirred the pot when he claimed that English rugby is overhyped, some of its players over-rated and that the English in general believe it is their divine right to win.
To be fair to the two individuals, they're probably just verbalising what most of the Celtic supporters already believe.
Needless to say, Tigers and Sharks camps were a tad annoyed and suggested that the pair might rue making such bold statements, stressing that the place to be judged is on the pitch.
So .... thats exactly what they did! Leicester Tigers 19-21 Munster and Ospreys 17-16 Sale Sharks. And the only other two English Premiership teams to meet Celtic League teams in the Heineken cup ties this weekend suffered similar fates: London Irish25-32 Llanelli Scarlets and Leinster 37-20 Gloucester.
It might not be scientific, but its fecking marvellous :-)
Bring on an all British/Irish league
