I agree that Toulon were pretty good last year but that was the first season that they were (and they lost to a pretty poor BO team in the Amlin final only 12 months earlier) but have been so generally poor this season and have scraped out results (except where other teams have fielded weak teams against them (ie Bayonne who shipped 40+ points)) rather than dominated as they should with the pllayers and Coach available!

Clermont have long been the nearly team and I have thought for at least 5 years that they should have dominated as Leinster have, but again they are just doing enough away and relying on their home wins which have, indeed, included some impressive ones...........but why would you go to the Stade Michelin with a really strong team when you can win at BO!! I agree they were the team of the season last year but what did the win.........................Zip!!
