Just for Tony...... Disipline this week Parisse got the one match ban which he had already served by not playing against us last week, told you they would squirm their way out of it, they always do when they get it wrong, its seems very strange you ban a guy one game yet he did not playthe week before the hearing so that's ok now......i agree he should never have been banned but to call him to the hearing is fairly poor ethics, they obviously do not have the bottle to apologise for their blatant mistake so he will be playing against Brive on Sat not good news for Brive.

So Toulon and ASM get the rest next weekend with 1st and 2nd places

Stade and Racing face off in Paris and Oyonnax go to Toulouse in Les Barrages.

Relegated are Lyon and...........Bayonne! even though they racked up 40 odd points, Brive managed to put four tries on Stade to save themselves and Grenoble hung on to lose by 5 ponts to give themselves the point to save themselves!!!

I am sorry that the Basques do not have a team now in the Top 14 but a little part of me says it serves the supporters right for having minds completely closed to Fusion and behaving as they did! Would have preffered a reasonable discussion and then a responsible vote after hearing some proposals............

I feel sorry for the players who love it here, who wanted to stay here and are distraught at the thought of leaving but who cannot survive on Pro D salaries! However, they did not win enough and hat is how rugby goes.....
