La Rochelle are a tough nut to crack at home but MHR are in such a rich vein of form that I believe they'll go all the way now and lift the Brennus.

The team for La Rochelle will be somewhat different to the last few weeks considering the Euro Challenge final next week. Still a long way from lifting the Bouclier, one game at a time and see where that gets us, but there is confidence in the air that's for sure.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gastons predicktions for this weekends games with just 4 days left before the play-offs, still nothing set in concrete, 1st and 2nd undecided and the home quarters is anybodies to grab with both hands.
Here we go, Home wins for Toulouse, Toulon, Stade Francais, Brive they have nothing to loose and Racing have their final next Sat v Saracens, Grenoble to beat Bordeaux. Away wins for Clermont and of course Montpellier but we are sending a differnet team to the last several weeks so if we win it will be an excellent result as LA Rochelle are always a tough team to beat at home and it will be in front of a full house 15,000 which makes it even harder, but if we do win, we are then so close to a semi direct place????

Not the greatest crowd for one of the best supported clubs in the Top 14 at Bordeaux tonight?

Huge outpouring of boos to show derision of a good try by Bordeaux...does this mean even though their season is over, Grenoble have the largest support in the stadium?

Would that be Biarritz by any chance!!!!!!!!!! not sure you realised but the Grenoble game was in Grenoble v Bordeaux, and as they have nothing much to play for most probably watched it on the tele and + it is a long holiday weekend (Fete Nat) on Thurs (Acension) even the 2 monkies dressed as Batmum and Robut were not there!!!!! I'm afraid another season chez les stiffs for BO!!!! if logic follows its course there will be no Basque derby next season, but Aurillac may have something to say about that
