what ? oh, I'm guessing that refers to me. I've found refuge in  virtual Switzerland atm. It's nice here. Everything looks like  everything else, nothing sticks out. I've no affinity for a particular  team, and it feels quite alright.


 The "Castrators" you're  referring to did hold up quite well yesterday night in fact considering  the situation, and I do find that red card decision exaggerated. I  thought the play deserved between yellow and red theoretically, but  leaning rather towards yellow. Interesting how Marcel Garvey's hit on a  MP player in the air should've (classically) cost him a red card, but as  to compensate the referee just gave him a yellow, and without too much  hesitation. A matter of balancing things, although Castres were buried  and forgotten within just 10min into the game.


François  Trinh-Duc, the best no.10 in the Top 14, was his usual brilliant self.  He animated the game brilliantly, was fantastic from the boot in all  regards, made his tackles. Pélissié was awesome too, and showed the  rarity he is at SH once again with those fast legs of his beating Garvey  to the try line. Ouédra in top form. Galletier putting in a solid  shift. Ranger one heck of a player.


But although there were good  things for Montypellier, there were also large chunks of game where  nothing at all was happening for them and they looked completely  disorganized and extremely sloppy. Disappointing, but surely that  occurred because they knew they'd won already, and had acquired the  bonus try. They were on the verge of losing it in fact at a point.

Not  sure this match means anything to either side in terms of form, but  it's probably the 5 easiest points Montypellier will get all year, and  the disaster continues for Castres in regards to their season; they'll  have to get unexpected points somewhere, soon. Not much of a revenge for  MP really...
