The super 14 is a better standard! Hows that for banter. Seriously though im a big fan of the Heineken cup although the final the season before last was one of the more boring games i have seen. I think a game between the winners of the Heineken cup and the super 14 would be a brilliant spectacle. You could play it in london so it would be fairly easy for the fans of the European team to get to and there is a large antipodean expat population in London as well, so i think enough tickets would be sold to make it viable. Imagine Waratahs V Stade Francais at Twickenham.

The only HC rugby I saw this weekend was the last hour of the Tigers game. Which was poor to be honest, not sure how many chances had, but that should have been comfortable, not a nervy last 10 mins for them!
Have recored euro rugby special, so will see what the other games were like soon.
I agree Jinx, hard to be really interested when your teams not in it. 12 tries at the MadStad may have been fun to watch, but a tougher win in the HC would have been far more satisfying.
