As more of a rugby union fan than a football fan the start of the Heineken Cup is always something to look forward to with the likes of leicester, wasps and saracens up against the best in Europe. As a kid I remember watching the (then) 5 nations and during the national anthems the camera would pan across the England team and reveal our lads to be clean-cut, honest looking fellows. Then the camera would pan across the French team... full of the ugliest, meanest looking cut throats I'd ever seen except in any film on TV about the French revolution. They looked like the halftime break would be spent storming the bastille! And usually the camera would pan across the top of some short player's head, probably a fly-half, looking like a 2nd former playing in the seniors team by mistake. And then he'd proceed to lead the French team in yet another humiliating defeat for England. Le Bastards!

If anyone can, Heineken
