[QUOTE="Tony Manx, post: 529112, member: 50236"] Anyone happen to watch the BO/Toulon game as would be interested in hearing any views on the Irish ref (Peter Fitzgibbon?) because from the stands he was awful!! Almost as bad Traille who again was pathetic and one can only hope that he is rested for a few weeks......Berquist was good enough, without being startling, in open play but missed three not difficult but not easy penalties before being subbed after about 50 minutes. I can only think that this was due to it being his first game in about two years as they brought Perylongue (who was brave but inept) on and proceeded to let Traille kick all penalties from wherever into touch! Mind you they also substituted Brew who had another good game and Gimenz who was far better than his replacement...........Management - wish BO had some! BO were well beaten at the scrum although thought back row was enormous at te break down and in open play..... That all being said, the first try from Toulon was wonderful to watch and almost All Black like in its concept and execution. They are a very, very good team (not just a side), and have a fantastic record away this year to match their home record and have only lost when their second string took on Toulouse.......I can see a double for them this year with this team and their depth. Would not mind moving to Toulon and watching them all season no matter that they have paid a fortune to get the players, they have made them work as a team.....................and some of their interplay makes me understand why I like this game!! Wilkinson showed his real class and seemed ageless. His field work was excellent and kicking faultless and a joy to watch to this JW sceptic!!! Lions....why the hell not?!! [/QUOTE]
