In fairness to back up Snoops argument,
The top sides in England excluding Saracens all lost or struggled to win.
Saracens were comfortable in victory.
Glouceser put up a great battle against Toulouse in France.
Leicester were very poor despite victory over a poorly ranked Aironi.
Quins struggled to shake off a Connacht team who really aren't a Heineken Cup standard squad.
Saints to be fair should've beaten us and well if it were in FG they would've.
Bath showed that they aren't a force of old.
And London Irish lost to a team who really aren't great in Pro 12 and Bradley as coach makes them even worst.
Your opinion seems slightly selective and lacking in perspective.
As you say Muster should have lost.
Leinster could only manage a draw against a poor Monpellier team that has only won two leauge games and like you said about Connact maybe they are not a HC standard squad.
Connact lost.
The only team that had a good win was Ulster.
So all but one of the Irish teams were convincing, and struggled to win.
Blues were not great against metro and could have lost, the game in my view was poor.
Ospreys were far from conving and in my view the game was poor.
Scarlets had a good win against Castres.
So all but one of the Welsh teams were convincing and had a good win.
Glasgow were lucky to win against Bath and again it was not convincing, but like you say Bath are not the force of old.
Edinburgh were losing by ten at half time but managed to win by a point at the end, not a convincing score but a good win for Edinburgh.
So I would argue at this stage with one round played that no team has looking really convincing and that to make sweeping statements about a whole leauge is misjudged. T
