About the SF ST game:

- Galan was his usual monster. Every time I watch him play, he's as devastating and confirming what I think he'll become. What a force, and with good dexterity.

- Doussain: anyone who isn't French has been proven wrong yet again. He was very good at FH. And his large frame is no doubt a fantastic tool, he bounced off the opposing LH and tackled him up front later in the game. Excellent work muscling away from tackles, good passing...I still like his chances in a Bleus jersey a lot.

- Plisson: in a few years he could be *great*. He'll impress anyone watching him every once in a while, but he'll also commit rookie mistakes: not nearly finding touch on his kicks, or kicking ahead way too far, and his kicks (penalty kicking included) are WAY too low, he constantly gets charged down. But one heck of a talent to be observed closely.

- Tolofua: what an amazing talent. The guy is a bull, can't get enough of him. Powerful scrummager it seems (hard to judge for a hooker), awesome ball in hand, great offloads and bits of skill all over the place, big tackler, and a boatload of energy. His lineout throws still an issue though apparently...

- Dupuis: if we didn't already have Parra, Pélissié, Doussain, Machenaud who can all perform at top test level, I'd seriously consider this guy again. He may be older, but he's perfect for a SH: crafty, pinpoint accuracy, and he boots well.

- Fickou: amazing talent. He seems too contained though, often. Like confined in a style that doesn't fit him, if only France or Toulouse ran a bit more ball in hand.

- Clerc: still got it. Great to see him confirm his status still. Maybe back in a French jersey in time for the down under tour this summer ??

- Fritz: great to see him back. A first in 2014. Looked fine.

7 tries, a classic 'classico'. Awesome game.

gaston: anything to say in particular about Pélissié or FTD in that Oyonnax game ? Couldn't get a hold of that one unfortunately..

I'm watching Grenoble Racing next...
