Dalziel Rugby Club

Right Guys,

Whats your view on who will win the big trophies this year?

Guiness Premiership?

Magners League?

Heiniken Cup?

French League?

6 Nations?

My heart say's that Glasgow will do better - but on the preseason results my heed says Edinburgh,

France for the 6Ns - Perpignan to win the Heineken and Munster to win the Magners league.

I think Munster will win the Magners due to their never say die approach and their recent record in knockout rugby. If they're in the top 2 at the play offs they're odds on to win it. I think Edinburgh will make the play offs - but with an away draw will bow out at that stage.

Perpignan have got Carter and already have a very strong team. They're dark horses, but I think they may just pull it off.

The French brought players on last year and will be a growing strength. Wales did very well last year, but the 6Ns right after the world cup is about rebuilding and they've not done enough to blood new guys. But in all honesty I'll take anyone as long as it's not England!

And Premiership Ted?

FYI, the playoffs are being introduced for the 2009/10 season. The current (2008/09) season will just be the league.

Can't comment on the rest at the moment (i'm supposed to be working...) but i would like to see a top 3 finish in the Magners League from either Glasgow or Edinburgh (more likely Edinburgh i feel) and a top 5 finish from the other.

Also hope one of them makes it out their group in the H-cup.

ah right - never realised - so aye I think edinburgh will be top 4 then.

As for the premiership I think that it'll be Leicester - Corry's last year and all that - plus they have a good side. Wasps will miss Dayglo!

You boys have too much time on your hands. Lets concentrate on National league 1 and west league 4 and see if we can't win here then maybe we can look at elsewhere

Dalziel 1st XV,Dalziel 2nd XV for both leagues our biggest threat is ????probably us.

It's a rugby forum if we want to chat about what's likely to happen in all the major competitions is that not fair game. It is pretty topical with the Kick Off of the major competitions coming up over the weekend!

Of course we want to win our own league, that's a given. But what do you think we should post? "With the inclusion of Simmonds in the Dalziel squad they seem a strong prospect for league success this season"
