And Shaka... your an Idiot your thinking of Football be­ it English or American we don't need body armor­ when we get tackled by a 6ft tall 20 stone man and we­ certainly don't crash to the floor holding our­ shins crying for mummy.

GLAAWWWWSSSSTTTEEERRRRR!!!!! It's our year to shine­ new team, harder, better training and no Dean Ryan.­ Don't count us out yet!

Munster will make no mistake this year..by far the best­ squad. 2006, 2008, 2010..looks good.

well shaka maybe you should be playing it so @#$% hole

I'll never understand how you people get into suck­ a weak sport like rugby. Rugby is for vaginas

should be interesting as some big teams aint gonna make­ it out of the group stage. leinster will get to the­ next stage but without rocky i feel we wont be as­ strong this year. winning it though is all that counts­ so if we do bad we at least have that.

I cant wait for Munster and Perpigan match up, although­ it would have been even better to see Dan Carter at­ Thomond.Sadly he's gone back to New Zealand. The­ serious contenders are­ MUNSTER,LEINSTER,CARDIFF,LEICESTER,TOULOUSE. I wouldnt­ write off Clermont either.They had a bit of bad luck­ the last few years with their groups, but are a truly­ class side.I know i'm Irish but Munster and­ Leinster are by far the best teams in this­ tournament(the french save their best for domestic­ duties).Munster would beat any team in my contenders,­ maybe with the exception of Leinster.If Cardiff can­ become a stronger unit they can really cause damage,­ but Im gonna have to go with Munster win.

Cardiff ,cardiff, cardiff ,cardiff !!!!!!!Its Cardiff­ BLUES !!!!!!Cardiff play in the welsh league at the­ proposterously named Cardiff Arms Park ( Yeah its the­ famous old ground , scene of many welsh international­ triumphs down the years. Oh hang on no its not ) This­ is what happens when you let the self obsessed two ­ name their own region . Do you know, even now some­ commentators talk of Cardiff Blues tradition in the­ heinekin Cup forgetting that the Blues tradition only­ started recently. Same for LLanelli Scarlets ! Yes i­ support the Dragons but at least we didnt go for­ Newport Black and Ambers!! High time WRU got some balls­ and told the regions to get the names and (thus­ attitude ) sorted . EG East Wales Dragons, Ospreys (­ a true region you put the WRU to shame) Glamorgan and­ Valleys Gorrillas ,West Wales and all up North where­ they dont really care whiners , oops better go for West­ Wales warriors

Anyway more moaning .Six groups is a­ farce .Lets say Dragons finished second to Biaritz­ .That would be a pretty good achievement .What would we­ get ? Nothing as surely the points would be well­ distributed amongst us .

Thats my moans done .Matron­ is caling .See you soon

Pool 1:Northampton and Munster

Pool 2:Biaritz

Pool­ 3:Leicester and Ospreys

Pool­ 4:Stade

Pool 5:Sharks­

Pool­ 6:Scarlets

Leinster will miss Rocky and­ Conteponi and even Van de Linde. Need to replace theem­ eventhough 2 of them did not play in this years final.

hylmike it's only one from each group and then two­ with the most points from the rest that go through!­ probably from the groups with the italian teams in!!

Poor Sale, they always end up in the toughest groups­ every year
Should be a stroll for Munster though

My Guess
Pool 1:Northampton and Munster

Pool 2:Dragons­ and Biaritz

Pool 3:Leicester and Ospreys

Pool­ 4:Stade and Bath

Pool 5:Cardiff and Sharks

Pool­ 6:Leinster and Scarlets

fao roxycappo -- history suggests otherwise... please­ see below

2008 Munster , Sale clermont,­ Montabaun

2007 Clermont Auvergne, Llanelli Scarlets,­ Munster, Wasps

2006 Bourgoin, Cardiff, Leicester,­ munster

2005 Munster, Castres Olympique, Sale Sharks,­ Newport Gwent Dragons

Munster fans can start booking the hotels and flights­ for Paris.. easiest group wev had in years!

roxycappo, munster have gotten out of their group every­ year since 2000 or something, and they have come­ through much, much harder groups then this. And they­ qualified very comfortably last year, how were they­ lucky?

menace

which is why sale's group is referred to as­ group of death. Sale have no chance of winning that­ group. and because the games will be so tight between­ the other 3 there will be few try bonus points around,­ so best 2 runners up position will be unlikely to come­ from group 5. winners only from the group of death.

why have Sale got the group of death. Toulouse (best­ team in France), Cardiff(EDF energy cup winners),­ Harlequins (second best team in England). All of them­ will have their work cut out.

roxycappo who are your team ?

roxycappo munster are the highest ranked team for the­ past 3 years dey will be one of the favourites..they­ have the best fans and best squad of players..sure dey­ only lost to the all blacks by 3 points with a secound­ string team
