It's just come through that the Heineken Cup will be played in it's current guise next season after a meeting in Dublin today.
It's subject to the English clubs and the English players' representative body PRL ironing out a few last minute things, but it seems all but sorted.
So after all the bluster and silly Serge Blanco claiming the original French boycott was "irreversible" here we are with everything fine and dandy again.
What a complete bunch of muppets the French and English have been over this, talking tough, causing ructions and in the end doing precisely nothing.
It's true what they say about empty vessels.
