[Tony Manx]

Another crushing defeat for BO on the road even though it is but a hop and a skip down the motorway to Pau, it amply shows that they are the width of the country away from being a Top 14 side!!!

Equally, USAP, with a second consecutive away trip to the South West and a loss to Dax, have showed that they would have to improve dramatically if they cannot beat the bottom team of Pro 2 (and the club most likely to remain there)!!

The results do, however, keep more or less every club in the quest (given a decent run of wins) for the play off's and it will be down to the back end of a very strenuous season and overall squad depth to determine who plays off at the end of the season to join Pau in the Top 14.

Has anyone heard of Eddie O'Sullivan..................I have heard not a peep about him since he supposedly arrived at Biarritz....but he is not doing anything positive to enhance his reputation one feels!!!

[usap dessie]

Eddie o Sullivan did a mediocre job with a good Ireland team , a mediocre job with a mediocre USA team , he is doing a mediocre job with a mediocre B.O. team .....can you see where i'm going with this ....lol
As for USAP , If only they could reach the dizzy heights of mediocrity ...

 

[psychic duck]

I saw a list of the ProD2 budgets and Biarritz were right on top, considering that those first 10 games have got to be a disappointment.

Regarding Eddie O'Sullivan, I'm no great fan of his, but I doubt anyone but the very elite few coaches would have done a great deal better than he did with Ireland. At the time they simply didn't have the quantity of international calibre players compared to what they have now, and as a result were relying on a small amount of top class players to lift some mediocrity, whilst now the side can withstand injuries the depth is so much better.

Utter disappointment!!!

You could give Blanco a budget as big as Toulouse (he certainly does not have the ability to raise it himself) and with the team of idiots that he employs, they would still recruit mostly rubbish, fail to train them properly or get them to a sensible level of fitness to avoid injuries/properly compete in this division never mind get into and stay in the Top 14 and then he would waste the rest. All of which is why he is no longer getting any of mine by way of a season ticket!!
