I just removed a large section from a psychic that made no sense. You can look at the original version if you want but it was poorly written and garbled. It seemed to be a prediction for the next Heineken cup which shouldn't be in the history section at any rate. Outside Center 17:35, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Qualification

Just noticed that the qualification criteria here is incomplete - says 5 teams for England, plus one if an English team wins the Anglo-Welsh Cup, but doesn't say plus one for Wales if a Welsh team wins it. The diagram just says six for England. Am looking up now and will correct. Rawling4851 13:36, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

IIRC, Welsh teams use the Magners League as their sole qualification criterion. The top three Welsh teams qualify, and the best-placed team in the league that doesn't qualify automatically (usually Newport Gwent Dragons) has to play in the Italo-Celtic playoff against (IIRC) the 4th-best Italian side. – Pee Jay 14:13, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I guess the reference to the Anglo-Welsh cup was because the English rugby board decided to allocate one of their places by performance in the cup and not by performance in the league. The Guinness Premiership site used to list explicitly the English qualification criteria, but now it doesn't.

I've now edited the page, but I'm not completely sure on everything... Rawling4851 14:25, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mission accomplished

Finally I put the pool stage results of all editions, I'd like to see more people interested on HC history... Maxtremus (talk) 23:42, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I said it before, but I'll say it again, excellent work! Cheers Nouse4aname (talk) 13:29, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, but there may be some errors in some parts (I'm not perfect), so I'd like to people here review them, and also in the future put the match stats like the recent arcticles. Maxtremus (talk) 22:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
