maybe we could expect an incredible, amazing reply from Toulouse this weekend. Maybe, just perhaps - could Toulouse pull the sheer miracle of beating Connacht, the mighty Connacht ?!!...
Toulouse may just not have the players to achieve that feat, but I'm hopeful.....I like a little bit of magic in my life, that sparkle, and who can stop me from...BELIEVING !!...

Think I'll put money on Connacht, I feel they'll realize what a fantastic opportunity this is and go for it. 26-23 to Connacht

Connacht to Seán nos a nail into Toulouse's coffin while an Dreoilín plays over the intercom, before everyone stands for the national anthem, which in Connacht tradition is sung by the ghost John Muldoon's beard.
A sympathetic140-0.

Permission to Connacht up this thread?

Just after hearing it from a reliable source (my mum she was listening to the news) that "half of Connacht's team have the ****s or something". It would appear there is a god, and he's a big French *******.
It might also be down to the Connacht play together, shower together and sleep together mentality all the same.

Well the news said 12 players had the flu, but I guess that's the gist of it.

**** phlegm blood and tears job by the sounds of it.

meh, Toulouse better win this...
how they actually lost at home against Connacht still baffles me today.......*scratches back of head thoroughly*

Perhaps the wake-u......God I'm so tired of saying this about French sides in general !!.......perhaps the wake-up call they needed ??...

Looks like its going to be *****ing rain in Galway and maybe a little bit of wind thrown into the mix too.

Btw, I see Toulouse have resorted to using biological warefare against Connacht. 12 players struck down by flu this weekend! Thats the type of thing we'd expect from the English.

..................and a Kiwi told me the South Africans do a bit of that as well..............

Cannot see Toulouse not winning this despite the rain and wind providing Noves picks the team properly..........which he seems to have done!

ST try to Medard...........

 

[LittleGuy]

Zebre with a fantastic performance today!!!! Clearly showing as many have brought up how useful the HC is for the Italian teams development and how both their teams should indeed be in this competition as lots of users have stated on this forum, they really built on Treviso's performance earlier in the day which was electric and scintillating I was filled with loads of WOW!!!....outstanding day for the Italian clubs at this rate they might be able to beat the Ontario Blues in the next decade or even Montevideo Old Boys perhaps?

 

[Tony Manx]

ST 9-22 at half time

 

[Big Ewis]

will watch this comfortably tomorrow.
I'm, uhm...happy with the scoreline.
