Beware of the Moderator's Castigator (Encounter Level 14 Monster)... I suppose he is still asleep but he is angry and hungry when he wakes up.
Imagine Finbar in the middle of the night, speaking while dreaming: "No, no... aaaargh!"
He suddenly wakes up, cold sweat dripping on his forefront... "Australia? I should have think about it... FIRST". "I am gonna grind this usurper to dust...".
Miss Finbar, talking in a half-sleep: "Come on Finbar, don't think about this no more, it's the third time you wake me up..."
Finbar: "I am gonna grind them to dust... ALL...".

Whatever you're smoking, mon ami, I wouldn't mind some of it!

Caligastia is back in full shape, he has even started a "mine is longer than yours" contest with Havak.
Interesting choice to quote Auckland though. He should have chosen a team that had won something recently (or rather something important) to make it a credible strike back on his part.
I can assure you SH guys that you have no idea how thoroughly it ruined the reputation of Super 12 up here that the most successful coach in that tournaments history is Graham "clueless" Henry. he is even a laughing stock in Wales (and you have no idea quite how bad that is!?)
If I dare be serious can we open a discussion about the Kiwi coaches up here and how they are affecting our game? Buck Shelford and Wayne Smith seem to be great guys but I am concerned at how they are turning great old English clubs into mini-ABs - and I don't mean flair and class but rather pushing the envelope of the laws of course.
Oh and Tamerlin - I'm backing the Catalans as they can mess with Glaws QF draw. Long live the 'four fingers of blood'
Interestingly the top three clubs last year all had and still have English coaches - telling perhaps? The only team in the top four now without an English head coach is Leeds and they have a Welshy in the job with an English assitant.

I don't know much on this subject but it seems that the French teams trained by NZ coaches have the tendancy to evolve towards a standardized game, a copy of what is done in New Zealand without its internationals, a caricature of the SH and NZ game actually.

Wouldn't you back any team against Gloucester?

It would've been something much pithier than that. If I could've been bothered.

I wish I knew enough about the matter to express an opinion. The hoary old chestnut of a tag aside - do the Kiwi coaches operate with a common discernible pattern? Do they try to recreate an AB - or SH, call it what you like - style?

Who are the Catalans?

The name of the people coming from the "Catalogne" which is the area where you can find Perpignan, Collioure, Banyuls... and thus the Union Sportive des Arlequins de Perpignan.

That’s actually a very interesting description. You may have a point.

Pretty much any side yes – except Bath maybe.
Do they try to recreate an AB - or SH, call it what you like - style?
In my opinion they do in some ways yes. You might disagree with some of these but I find that Wasps, Saints and Saracens now all operate with back lines that are pretty much always technically offside, sometimes blatantly so. The speed with which players return to their feet is noticeably slower than with their UK coached counterparts and results in a lot of accidental drifting through play – classic Kiwi? Hand on the floor seems to be a ubitiquous feature of play rather than the dark contingency art it should be. And the crucial give away? Whenever the opposition wins set piece ball one of them falls over as if his leg just gave way.
Just the impressions I get. English coached teams are of course never guilty of any of the above!
The flag of that region by the way is four red stripes on a yellow background – four fingers of blood. The area has a bloody history to say the least and hopped between being Spanish and French several times – but Tamerlin will know more about this?
