Top 14 Day 1

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

nope, wasn't available live anywhere...Flood scored the one try for Toulouse, on his first regulation match, nice.

I'll take that, although it sounded like it was a very close game.

 

[munstermuffin]

nope. Been injured all the time recently...just call him Szar. Our two starting hookers are both tyrannical totalitarians: Szar and Kayser...

But isn't it same injury that he suffered at end of last season.
Super try by Racing. Really enjoying this game.

 

[TheSaffycen]

Great finish by the centre, agree with Barnes about defenders tackling random players hoping for the penalty.

 

[FrenchFan]

well Flood did the business by scoring the only try and he kept us in the game. We might keep him after all
Not a good game for us. Oyo were in the lead at half time. This is only Oyo and we're at home....:huh:

this is not going to be our season if we struggle like that at home. By spring we'll be staring at the bottom half of the league table.

 

[TheSaffycen]

The racing player is lucky to be on the pitch there, multiple punches thrown.

 

[Big Ewis]

where did you watch the game FrenchFan ? and don't worry about it too much. Only Toulon looked good on opening weekend from the big teams, look at Clermont they almost lost at home in the "invincible volcano" to fkng Grenoble (who scored a couple of very nice tries btw...).
It's just opening weekend, doesn't mean shiit. ALTHOUGH, Toulouse's mediocre/bad preseason might be telling, added to this first struggle vs OYO..

here in Toulouse peuchèère kong !! yeah i know we're always slow of the blocks in early season. They're all saying that here. Ok put it down to rustyness

Red card was strange. 2 did catch my eye as he was swinging wildly but I'm sure he wasn't alone. But have strange feeling there might be another red but it's been a very entertaining game

He was first which counts for a lot.

Is Montypellier losing.........what a shame.....maybe Pro 2 next season Gaston................!!!

GRRRRREEEEAAATTT run from Ranger....but no try!!!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

That was so not over IMO

 

[Tony Manx]

Please can we have Nick Mullins and the other commentators who know something about Top 14 and can pronounce the names correctly....then we would have ideal coverage as this is better than I have seen before from Sky over BT and Eurosport before them!

 

[Tony Manx]

Fantastic try..................brilliant......this is an exciting MHR team!!

I remember Nick Mullins keeping on calling Clerc as Palisson and Palisson as Clerc during the RWC quarter final against England.

They all make mistakes but there is no doubt that Mullins read the French papers and kept up to speed with what was going on in the Top 14 whereas Harrison is a novice to this league and is showing it with very little homework.......they probably think Biarritz is still a challenger for the Brennus!!

 

[Tony Manx]

Great 2nd half....missed the first half....I look forward to the considered views of Gaston when he has come down after the antics of the refs, the TMO, and everyone else!!!!!

Plenty of room in Pro 2 if you keep losing at home................!!!!

Your thinking of Gillingham, not Mullins.

Sorry it was the "Clos le Comte" Graves 2009 that put me off....you are totally right!!

Bit like Clerc and Palisson!!

 

[Big Ewis]

that try from Nagusa was fkng awesome. Although he's a bit of a paranoid bish though, Claassen does nothing to him as he slides in next to him after the grounding...
Rough start for Montypellier, no doubt on my mind they'll rebound worthily and will look for a compensatory win on the road somewhere, soon.
Only saw the last 30min, but what an entertaining game.

Will be watching MP's game next week, I'm very eager to see Nicolas Mas' current form in the scrum...
