[QUOTE="Feicarsinn, post: 591386, member: 22777"] I'm afraid those comparisons don't work. Castres, the French champions no less, have never done anything in Europe. Munster weren't even in serious playoff contention in the Rabo last year and pushed Clermont all the way. Edinburgh made it all the way to the semi's the season before where it took a Pro 12 team to beat them. Leinster were in a different class to Biarritz, Stade and Wasps on their way to the Amlin last season. Connacht have beaten Biarritz and Quins in the last two years in Europe. You can twist those arguments any way you like. The fact of the matter is that it's all speculation, essentially akin to the "my team beat yours and your team beat theirs, so my team is better than theirs" kind of thinking. [/QUOTE]
