I can see Exeter running them close for most of the game but i think Clermont will edge it out towards the end, they have too much class.

I think it may be over by half time my friend...................

 

[welshglory]

That's what all the Leinster supporters said though wasn't it?

 

[ZeFrenchy]

Yeah, I don't think this is the way ASM were expecting the game to go.

Domingo is playing very well lately though, pretty much undisputed LH prop for the November tests.

 

[ZeFrenchy]

Watching this game with english commentary, and I'm impressed with how objective they are in their refereeing comments. French commentators are more of the kind "any decision that goes against the french team is a wrong one".

 

[ZeFrenchy]

And now it's just men against boys.

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

ASM are the best team in the competition.

 

[ZeFrenchy]

You can only wonder what would've happenned had Fofana taken rugby seriously at a younger age. Now he moves to 13, his best position.

 

[lucky number 7]

Arscott is a top class player...

 

[ZeFrenchy]

It's awesome when you say that about a player and then he pulls off something like Arscott just did.
He should've just run over Parra in the one before though.

 

[lucky number 7]

He should have yeah , but his lines today have been fantastic hits the line at such pace ..christ he's great to watch

 

[ZeFrenchy]

Parra is such a class player, I really don't get that nonsense of him not being good enough to play for France.

 

[j'nuh]

Arscott is a top class player...

Deserves a place in the AIs, but won't get it because the EPS is too inflexible.

 

[ZeFrenchy]

I see he's uncapped. He surely can find a Scottish granny or something.

 

[lucky number 7]

I'd like him at Leinster...bring some biff to our backline

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Slightly off topic (though still related...badum tsssss) his brother is playing very well at London Welsh.

 

[Tony Manx]

Wonderful display of team rugby despite the total utter incompetence of Lacey as a referee) showing that Mr Peat is so correct!! A brave Exeter held sway for the first half but were blown away within 20 minutes of the restart. Have just finished watching this superb game and it certainly has made my morning so far even if it showed my comments about Saracens being the form side were made too soon!!

does someone know where to view it again ? Didn' see it mentioned in french programs...or I miss it ?
