Which Rabo Side Are You Most Nervous Before Playing

First topic message reminder :

Saw a thread on the international board about which teams make you jumpy. I read a comment by Notch mentioning the growing Scarlet/Ulster grudge (started back on '03 by them failing to stop us taking the title), and it got me thinking yes we all know Leinster, Munster and the Ospreys are the teams to fear in the league. But which teams do you get the most nervous before playing.

Personally I always get the 'we should win this make, but most likely won't' feeling the most against the Blues and Ulster.

It's a great game if Leinster win , but I guess it was a good game despite that.

You have had us plenty of times before mate...!

Good luck for the new season

You too, the only problem is the Ospreys luck seems to last in the Rabo, so eh, good luck I guess but we wont be this friendly next time our two sides smash heads.

Fair Enough...!

Until the 4th of November it is then.

I dunno about the O's v Munster rivalry anymore. The players involved have gone now and there wasn't any aggro in the play off game. For me its definetly Scarlets at home. Local derby, big crowd. Huge away support who fair play, are always singing. Always nervous before this game..

Zebre , unknown entity , first game of season

He just gets sick with nerves at the thought of facing ANY pro12 side.

Leinster and Ulster in particular .

I'd say that the Pro 12 sides haven't done too well against Jeff teams in the preseason.

I can't believe the Scarlets took a cheap shot at poor old Henson.

And we all know how significant preseason results are.

Based on that I would like to predict that Northampton are going to win the Jeff, The HC AND the Super 15 this season.

True, but it does show that the Rabo teams don't take preseason seriously, in many ways preseason is just like the Rabo itself.

Key players rested or just can't be bothered

Key players rested or just can't be bothered Not flogged to death and squads kept fresh by rotating, allowing the development of young players in a competitive environment.

Totally agree hersh

PRL paid us a heap to do it though, something about being worried that with him available London Welsh may end up beating too many established sides.
