[FrenchFan]

Du rugby enfin !!

Oyo
UBB
Clermont
Lyon
MP
Racing
RCT

UBB (6) v SF (3)
Racing (4) v Gren (7) are the ones to watch for me. Toulouse have been well below par yet still 5th. Mega war in the top 4. Still can't call it!!

I don't care for the trophy as long as we end higher than SF. A ***le would be nice though. This weekend is the perfect opportunity to go past the 'other Paris club'.

I don't care for the trophy as long as we end higher than SF. A ***le would be nice though. This weekend is the perfect opportunity to go past the 'other Paris club'.

Racing are definite contenders for le Bouclier. They're better than last season should make the playoffs. The difference this season is they have a big Euro QF to manage but they won't complain about it!

Hey ***us are Grenoble running out of steam?

edit: good to see the anti-SF league is growing

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

That's the thing- I can't see them (us? I don't know so well aymore- good thing RM don't play against WP) be up for it on both fronts. I mean the team has come a long way and can certainly beat anyone on the right day but they aren't Toulon 2014. Not with Sexton not buying into the club like Wilkinson did with RCT. It's a solid team with some x-factor in Dulin and Thomas out wide but.. whatever, let me not knock my own team before they've even had a proper go at it!! They certainly proved me wrong against the Northampton Saints in the away game to end top of the ECC in the pool stages...

Racing will conquer all before them (especially Stade)! That doesn't look intimidating enough.. let me try again Gaston-style.. ahem....

The raging Racingmen will conquer all set before them !!!!!! !!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[gaston le gaff]

not a bad effort but could do better


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[FrenchFan]

:lol: Gaston's style is inimitable

 

[gaston le gaff]

down to the serious stuff......... proper rugby for at least this weekend...........can only see homes wins this weekend but Montpellier would support wins by Stade Francais, Racing Metro, and Toulouse for obvious reasons. All will be good as FDT is nearly there and if not on the bench on Sat he will be playing the Toulouse game on the 14th March.
For sure 7 home wins and Montpellier really do need a 5 pointer. heres hoping.

 

[Tony Manx]

Good news on FTD!

 

[gaston le gaff]

Montpellier's line up for tomorrows game v La Rochelle, Jimmy at 15,great for attacking rugby along with Viri Viri fast but defence?????? Viri Viri fast on the wing and welcome back Ben Mowen, FTD will be ready for Toulouse should be enought do the business. Good job Lucas Dupont speaks good english!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Le XV de départ: Nagusa ; Viriviri, Ranger, Tuitavake, Dupont ; (o) Lucas, (m) Paillaugue ; Mowen, Qera, Ouedraogo ; Timani, Tchale-Watcouh ; Mas, Geli, Watremez.

Remplaçants: Ivaldi, Nariashvili, Battut, Tulou, Pelissié, Selponi; Ebersohn, Cilliers.


the opposition for today's game no Rassie but both Internationals are in the starting XV

Le XV de départ: Murimurivalu ; Alofa, Hingano, Botia, Bobo ; (o) Barraque, (m) Berger ; Qovu, Gourdon, Goujon ; Cedaro, Graham ; Atonio, Forbes, Synaeghel.
Remplaçants: Geledan, Pelo, Tanguy, Djebaili, Audy, Fortassin, Roudil, Bourrust.

 

[Tony Manx]

Montpellier rescue a draw against La Roch in the 85th minute!!!!!! All penalties against two tries from the visitors who obviously played their normal game!!

Kudos to Bayonne who got nothing but fought well at Clermont!

 

[FrenchFan]

what a game Racing v Grenoble. 6 tries. Cracker.

and Bordeaux SF with a last minute converted try by Bordeaux (78e) only to be outdone by a Plisson drop-goal in extra time!!!

For intensity, try count and suspense I have yet to watch a 6N game that comes anywhere close.

 

[The Man]

Amazing by SF. I'm starting to build playoff hopes now - and maybe next year we'll see a European cup game in Paris for the first time in ages.

 

[Ossau]

Amazing by SF. I'm starting to build playoff hopes now - and maybe next year we'll see a European cup game in Paris for the first time in ages.

Very impressive from SF indeed!
Strong performance from Raphaël Lakafia and number 8 Jonathan Ross! Enjoyed watching them carrying the ball strongly.
