Biarritz had a game plan and, for once this season when it really mattered, executed it brilliantly.
Bore the pants off the opposition, tackle, tackle and tackle, win the line outs and play the territory before kicking the penalties.
Without a back line of note and a scrum that was murdered in the tight, it was an excellent performance of old fashioned boring rugby as played by Saffacens (who actually do have a back line)!
Yach should have been yellow carded but Heymans should have seen red not yellow. Apart from that blip, of professionalism many would say, Yach was peerless, being quite sublime out of hand and from the ground. .
Yach is the best 9 in the world at the moment and would have been Midi-Olympique player of the year had he played as many Top 14 games as Steffon Armitage!
Yes H Cup and maybe some hope of better things to come.......but yet to be convinced!!
Just have to hope Watremez scrummages better next year Gaston!!!
