Top 14 Thread

[Leonormous Boozer]

Starting to watch a bit more Top 14 and there's nowhere to discuss it. Probably not the volume to require weekly threads so we can keep it here maybe?

Currently what I'm enjoying most is Lar Rochelle's implosion. And an accurate illustration of my reaction to ROG's latest press conference is below:

two seasons of drive to survive about the top 14 would make me learn French.

I watch the highlights on YouTube and I can't speak a word of French. All I know is essai is a try

Amazing the strength and financial stability of that league from what I can see.

 

[Elborak]

I'm coming to your forum to deepen my knowledge of the premiership. And since my English is very average, it's a good way to improve.

Mad that Ma'a Nonu at the age of 42 is on the bench for Toulon today.

 

[Ddanno]

Toulon 14 just made half of UBB look like every kind of dick

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

a top 14 playoff game is definitely on my bucket list

Lopez getting one over his old team at an advanced age.

 

[Gavin]

Ma'a Nonu on the bench for Toulon tonight is mental.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

I imagine Bordeaux win this easily

 

[Gavin]

Cracking final so far. Jack Willis on fire.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Yeah, I thought the Heineken Cup final was a really good game. This is a level above in intensity. Toulouse won't be happy with 3 points, great defensive set there from UBB.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

the skill is insane and they do it at 100 mph.

 

[Gavin]

Mad that these two teams played out the final last year and Toulouse won 59-3. The teams were not that much different.

Is that the Dupont factor, or Bordeaux just getting more competitive in finals?

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Haven’t looked this up, Bordeaux seems a bit younger so maybe they’ve just grown a lot since last year?

 

[AlRums]

That try looked inevitable

 

[AlRums]

That try looked inevitable

Unfortunate

 

[Gavin]

Lovely tap penalty move

 

[AlRums]

Can't argue with that one

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

What a quick tap set play. This is club rugby at it's best.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Gonna need to change the boxers at half time.
