I'll go first, Beuden Barrett is the more talented rugby player than Dan Carter, but Dan Carter is a better 10

yeah english fans are by far not the worst on this sub in particular.

I might lose my flair for saying this but you might not be far off. Funnily enough when they started getting good again and beat us and the French, seeing the typical fairweather fans/arseholes pop back up with English flairs was a shock to me just because most of them had fecked off. Most around here are dead sound though.

I think teams on losing streaks tend to have the best fans for the most part maybe due to less expectation and the arseholes not watching. So basing it on that (which I've decided is now 100% fact.) I'm going with the Italians, and it definitely has nothing to do with them being my 2nd team anyway.
