How many years before the Ospreys reach a Heineken cup semi final or final?
Ospreys knocked out of 2012/2013 Heineken cup
Even though no matches have been played yet, Ospreys coach Steve Tandy is confident for next year. He said, "yes we have had another terrible year and not progressed out of our group, but we have a talented squad of youngsters who I believe will come good in Europe for the 2013/2014 season.
After being drawn with multiple times winners Toulouse and Leicester. The Ospreys management agreed that it would be fair on the fans and also help player development if they voluntarily withdrew from the tournament and prevented everyone going through another nasty experience.
Ospreys owner and part time DelBoy Mike Cuddy said, "We can beat anyone comprehensively on our day, but when we play them in Europe we play like donkeys". This was demonstrated best in 2008 when the Ospreys emphatically beat Saracens 30-3 in the EDF cup and just a week later got destroyed by them at vicarage road.
It may not all be doom and gloom in Wales. The IRFU has decided to kick Munster out of the Heineken cup and Pro 12 league due several ineffective seasons in both competitions. It is now thought that Munster will merge with the Ospreys, Scarlets and Blues. This new Welsh super region will aim to reach to reach the semi finals within 10 years.

Yet you still see fit to dignify it with an answer.
Is it really that hard to just say nothing and walk away?

My post is completely factual. It may be a prediction, but factual just the same.

Yeah I don't see how that could be a fact. It would only stifle our development, you know the development of the 'Grand Slammers.'

A prediction can only be factual if it is a prediction about the Ospreys having a terrible season in Europe. That is the only time a prediction defies physics and time and becomes fact before it has happened.
Maybe Nostradamus invented some sort of machine using Ospreys European predictions and somehow was able to foresee other world/global events at the same time?

Sorry all, WelliamWibb thought it was a good idea to set up a duplicate account and pretend to be Irish.
He's not the sharpest tool in the shed.
