Sorry Tony to be pedantic but if you copied and pasted Rugbyrama's league positions you would find Montpellier 4th.
Can I help it if they in fact changed the league table after I, as you say, copied it...................too busy with my life to make it up myself!!
I would entirely agree on the fact that most sides can beat others in this league due to the way in which the away games are played and that bonus points wil be crucial come the end of the season and, have to say, cannot see MHR NOT being in the play offs come May so do not worry Bigwwhateveryourcallyourselfthesedays!
Watched the Racing/Stade game this morning and they did well to keep Stade out despite having their scrum thrashed in the loose and tight! Thought Sexton, who now has 106 points form 10 games, played well and organised the team well. Lauret and Bonneval were exceptional but Pelisse was very disappointing!
Clermont, a bit like Toulouse, have not really fired on all cylnders as yet and with a very strong team struggled to hold the, to me, surprise package of the season so far in Brive who I thought (hoped?) would be fighting along with Oynnax!
Oynnax and UBB fought well with the latter level with USAP at half time but eventually succumbed.............
Finally, that was the biggest defeat for Biarritz for three years (Clemont 41-0) and there is now an undercurrent against Blanco that is growing and indeed, calls for a boycott of Agullera this weekend to show the strength of feeling. I have little doubt that this will fail, supporters will turn up and equally sure that Blanco will not resign due to the massive loyalty that he has been and will be shown by the long term supporters, in my opinon, misplaced being based on emotion rather than logic!
