B.o.l.l.o.c.k.s

oooooh beware what you say ! In sports, one side's invincibility, for however long it's been there, can absolutely dissipate and vanish in a matter of minutes...
All of a sudden, Toulon could find itself in a position of inferiority, trailing a game they and the world were sure they'd apply their firm grip onto and take command in...
all of a sudden, we realize those are just 15 other guys on Toulon's side of the pitch, with a possible drop of form, big intensity but mediocre teamplay for the day...
all of a sudden, Toulon seems at very least beatable...their players all expose flaws under the pressure and Castres' defense...
all of a sudden, ppl start remembering all those guy in the RCT are 40 years old, way past their prime, and can't match the youth of the Dulin/Lamerat/Kockott/Grosso...
all of a sudden, Toulon could find itself in a position of inferiority, trailing a game they and the world....oh no wait, already did that one.....
all of a sudden, Toulon are in a really tight spot with a handful of minutes to play, and a few points to put on the board they never will...ppl start talking about how tired they were once again after such a tough H Cup campaign, when Castres had focused everything on the Top 14 this year...and before we know it, the whistle blows, and nobody can really believe it but Castres get the repeat.
Toulon....Castrated, Castres style.

I thought his post H Cup final match interview was excellent...................and good luck to him and Toulon although I am not a supporter (other than these two weeks of course) I do NOW respect what he and they have done although did not always!!!

 

[Big Ewis]

yes of course gaston I saw the video interview...I was even confused at a point whether he was talking about players per se or something else...he LOVES a good controversy/mystery that guy...more of an actor than an owner really !

 

[gaston le gaff]

Well 2 days to go and Boujellal was guest of honour on Canals Grand Journal last night, with the weather girl Doriane Tillie dressed as Bernie la Bolt hilarious !!!!!!!!!!!!!( even down to the bald head incredible makeup) and "Big B" saying how good my Castrators were and that they were definetely favourites, this guy should have been a comedien and how poor he was in comparison to the"Fabres" regime that sponsor my Castrators

I do believe that he was saying how his side were **** compared to Sarries before last week's final too!!!

Bernie the Bolt eh....you really are old remembering that one............good old Monkhouse!!!

Boudjellal is continually going to say the opposite of what everybody says, just for the sake of it; and will exaggerate his words the more he's concerned with a topic. Like here, his team Toulon is in the final, it doesn't get bigger than that, so he's going overboard with outrageous notions that Castres are favorites. I wouldn't pay too much attention to what he'll be saying from now til after the weekend.

I find this scenario very interesting for the Top 14 final this year. Castres are reigning champs, and are up against Toulon again, and still are considered big-time underdogs (except by Boudjellal). It's kind of identical to last year, almost, if not for the slight nuance in that people had no idea Castres could beat Toulon in a final last year and that we now have that fact to work with...they did it last year when Toulon was even better; so this year they could do it again...

Dulin in an interview says he's not surprised at all by the fact that everybody's got Toulon to win it. Nobody talks about Castres, and he's okay with it. 'Just like last year', he says. He explains the main thing against Toulon is to not become a spectator of the match, and establish that Castres are here. Playing on auto-pilot just wouldn't do it against Toulon, and it's true, the C.O. will have to play out of their skins the entire 80 minutes, not a single moment of inattention could be afforded after-tomorrow.
I wonder if Toulon can be as dominant at the breakdown against Castres the same way they've been against basically everybody in the H Cup...
Seriously though, if Castres can win this, just wowwwwwwwwwwwww.....

Dream on my friend myCastrators will loooooooooooooooose !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Big Ewis]

they'll be loose alright...well put.....and this time, I bet they won't even require an extra time

 

[gaston le gaff]

your luck will run out on Sat evening i'm with my mate Tony from Toulon..... Pilou Pilou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Big Ewis]

what's that, my luck will run amok on Sat evening well, what can I say...I certainly hope so.
I'd just like to say that, as a long, long time fan of Castres I want to wish good luck to Toulon's biggest, and most devout fan in the world: Tony.
May the best team (Castres) win.

 

[gaston le gaff]

you have been as longtime fan of my Castraators as Tony has of Boujellal's big big buget Toulon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Amobokoboko]

I'm hoping for a massive game. So at the end it doesn't really matter who wins it

 

[Big Ewis]

Castres do play with excitement often, I haven't seen too much boring Castres this year. I imagine this will be fairly good for a final, but it's still a final. Rory Kockott scored the one try last year, off the craftiest move you've ever seen. He's such a little devil. And overall it was a very conservative effort from both sides....I mean, it's a final.
Anyways, Castres have to limit Toulon at the breakdown and again not be spectators of Toulon's attacking. They'll have to be extra careful with Toulon's own little devil, Mr. Giteau, and this year Habana is added to the danger-list although he was very quiet against the Saracens, and no they weren't playing particularly good defense on him, he just wasn't impactful one bit.

I don't think they'll have to count on Kockott conjuring tricks or Talès kicking in drops, they've a more balanced attack this year, but boy it's going to be hard to penetrate the red fortress. Although, thinking about it Toulon may have difficulty with Lamerat at midfield...

Of course it does, we over here hope it's once again a French team who wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
