Cam, its the guys who have nothing in their lives only RUFC that i feel sorry for (and theres plenty of em) not much to look forward to playing them 4 teams mentioned, a few years ago we played Leicester, a german team Mainze if i remember correctly also Hearts, that sort of opposition i would gladly go and pay going rate.
