Where do you stand?

On the great sporting rivalries? I'm curious to know which side CW roots hardest (ooo, Matron, etc) for when the titans clash in whatever sport. I'm talking about games like Celtic v Rangers, Arsenal v T*ttenham, NSW v QLD in state of origin, Carlton v Collingwood in Aussie Rules, England v Australia in cricket and so on.

Here's a by no means definitive list that others can add to:

Association Football

Arsenal v T*ttenham

Liverpool v Everton

Man Utd v Man City

Liverpool v Man Utd

Rangers v Celtic

Barcelona v Real Madrid

AC Milan v Internazionale

England v Argentina

Rugby Union

The All Blacks v The Wallabies

The All Blacks v The Springboks

England v France

Leinster v Munster

Rugby League

NSW v QLD

Wigan v St Helens

Kiwis v Kangaroos

Aussie Rules

Carlton v Collingwood

Cricket

England v Australia

Pakistan v India

Yorkshire v Lancashire

NSW v Vic


Just say who you support in the clashes of the ones you care about and maybe why. Arbitrary hatreds and long-held grudges actively encouraged.
