[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 664960, member: 57076"] yes yes, FTD was terrific with his defensive cover, at times I had to check again he was really wearing 10 and not 15...because I was drunk as hell during the match, no, just kidding.. Yeah obviously Poitrenaud is a 15 [B]FrenchFan[/B], I've been paying just a tad bit of attention mind you :D in my comment there I was saying basically "happy to see Poitrenaud worked out well at midfield" as he's sometimes nonexistent when they play him there. Most definitely agree he's a much better 15 than he is a 12, I don't think there's any question. Well it was a nice starting setup for Toulouse given the conjuncture: players missing so Poitrenaud moves to 12, Palisson a winger moves to 15, and voilÃ . What I didn't like was Vincent Clerc's mediocre game. I dearly want to see him in pure form again, I'll be patient but that first game wasn't good for him. Tolofua: I'm saying the same now as my first impressions about him years ago. His Pacific Islander style in the loose is, well, unique for a hooker. But I'm very skeptical about him in the scrum, and his throws are just a plague.
