[QUOTE="jaunard06, post: 626773, member: 56207"] No surprise here...I predicted that loss. Congratulations to UBB they fully deserve that victory, we showed nothing, controlled nothing, were unable to take advantage of the nervousness of UBB at the beginning of the game. Many players were injured or off due to the Tournament but that's not an excuse for showing so few interest for such games...for the moment the only match where the guys seemed to realized they were outside to take a win was at Grenoble...still they managed to lose this one. Topping the rankings with losses without even a DB show that the Top 14 "powerhouses" are weaker this year - this of couse includes ASM - as I don't believe that suddenly Grenoble, Oyonnax or UBB have progressed so much since last year. They improved, that's for sure, but at the same time ASM, Toulouse, Toulon, Racing were very average, Castres - the champion ! - are abysmal. Only Stade FranÃ§ais play above expectations and Montpellier are where we expect them also, Side note: I'm not even talking about Perpignan, Bayonne or Biarritz...that would make me cry I think.
