The Heineken Cup is a great competition. It has great atmosphere, courtesy no doubt of the ‘international’ nature of the matches and the tribal support for the clubs, which is the nature of European rugby. It is exciting to play, or coach, or indeed support these teams in […]

This guy and others like him at the various […]
