Ospreys V Munster- Magners League

the derby games ie: any welsh vs welsh game are still brilliant.

from our point of view, its just ****e because are boys aren't being tested.

Either are ours

[dww]

Either are ours

But presumably at least your young players are getting a chance. It is clearly a balance that needs to be struck. Before the tournament your model was hailed and it certainly has worked in terms of the 6 nations.

if people like O'driscol played, he would be tested

We peaked to early, i think last year we would of had a better chance in this world cup as it happened we were woeful and to a degree cocky cause we had great sucess in the past number of years.

The crowds are ok for the Magners league generally get a 50-75% att for when the Scottish and Welsh teams come over for home derby matches a 100% thats for Munster anyways. Heineken Cup comes along and its full and mostly by all the wrong crowd the frauds who wouldnt bother going to a Magners League game

I've been to a few Ospreys games over recent years and the all Welsh games are great, with a good atmosphere and almost a full house.

The other games in the Magners aren't so popular though, whereas the Heineken Cup games are also full houses more often than not. The different kick-off times and days can be a pain though as I was down in Swansea last weekend and hoping to see the Ospreys game either Friday night or Saturday, but the game was on at 4pm on Sunday, when I had to be on my way home!

It's got like the soccer in that respect with tv dictating the times and days of kick-off, which is a pain!

Its all about money mate, but i do agree with you Sunday is no place for rugby. Friday nights or saturdays are the best and better atmosphere cause the weekend is only getting going. Sundays are dead
