H Cup Quarter Final : Clermont Auvergne vs Montpellier

[Big Ewis]

^ :lol: wtf

Dayum Tony, didn't know it was that bad...but let's just say Toulon got the best out of the money they've got. I don't think Toulouse is that much better on paper than the salary cap suggests.
And I thought for sure Toulon would have a higher cap than ASM...my bad.
What I do mean though, is that ASM have a nice team on paper, but where the talent isn't ridiculous with every single position a superstar. Again, sure they have big names but it's a lot more balanced for me compared to Toulon (or even Toulouse I suppose...). They play tremendously as a unit (does ASM), and it looks gorgeous and it's downright powerful at the scrum and forwards, not just the finesse of the backs.
With what they have, they really don't disappoint (ASM). You've got to respect the work they put into this year.
Still haven't seen the game btw lol, in a few hours !

We've rarely been shaken up front as we were at the beginning of the match, especially at home...I would moderate yoe's last comment in that if our strength is usually team work, here we less played as a team and relied more on individual performances, to say the least...

Sivi will not score this kind of try every match, we've been greatly helped by MHR's defense. I would have preferred less tries but a little bit more "built". I know I'm a perfectionnist !

Unbelievable try from Svivatu, quite possibly the best in the competition this year.

didn't look that great live, but on the replay, when you actually see how he's just dancing, and that off-load....daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyuuummmmmmmmmmmmm !!!
