Peter Bills slams those who believe rugby begins and ends in England following the final round of Heineken Cup action in The Independent.
"For the uninformed, those who deal in fantasy as opposed to reality, where now your iron-clad convictions as to the wondrous attractions of English rugby's Guinness Premiership?
"Where now all those glib responses to those who had the courage and temerity to warn "The King has no clothes"? Where now your blinkered, foolish belief, doubtless fuelled by the propaganda issued from on high at Twickenham, that England's rugby and the English League was the best in the business?
"Bunkum, complete bunkum, the lot of it, as a saga of defeats for English clubs in Europe this past weekend in Heineken Cup action, proves. Oh, if only you had opened your eyes to the real, devalued product before you, not despised and rubbished those who actually look beyond the confines of Kingsholm, The Stoop, Welford Road and the Recreation Ground to assess the game."
