Johnnie Beattie said on his French Rugby podcast that the winner of this final would be the team keeping the ball. He was right. He said Leinster had to make sure that La Rochelle couldn't get hold of the ball not to be submitted to their power play while La Rochelle needed the ball to dictate their...

Very sad.

RIP.

I don't know if anybody noticed Ala'latoa checking one of the La Rochelle players prostate at a maul.

Get off the stage. We had some key decisions go badly against us. Winning the match decisons. Fuck all people have moaned about them Only the captain is entitled to talk to the ref. Nobody should touch him. Uggly and disrespectful. That and the constant arm waving is a disgrace to Irish rugby. A sh...

I posted this on the other place, as I expressed my concern at Leinster's players habit of contesting the referee's decisions all the time. I thought that the below behavior in particular was especially inappropriate. In that case, Jaco had awarded La Rochelle a scrum after Aldritt sneakily tapped t...

What do you make of Hastoy, Torque? Still worried he hasn't been bloodied at international level?

Serin, for Toulon, was in fine form but he seems to have suffered a serious injury.

Apparently the Lyon players have been asking for Garbajosa 's head.

What a contrats with Perpignan players who saved Arletaz this season.

It is depressing to be an ASM fan...

How many times this year did we blow away a comfortable lead?

Jalibert injured again... crystal boy. Afraid so. Another talented player who seems to be made of glass. However, it's not something to celebrate because FH is now Fra's weakest position. Sometimes, you are like Bimbo. Obsessed with one vision of the world. Leaving your pet boy Ntamack aside... hav...

Jalibert injured again... crystal boy.

Great spirit by the bottom two sides in their struggle for survival.

Watched the first half of Toulouse Bordeaux. It was scrappy but Dupont made the difference again. I found Marchand rusty, especially at lineout time.

I think Toulouse lack a powerful center too. Akhi is no longer thrbplayer he was.

By the scale of Toulouse 's spanking, I am worried about France's prospect at the world cup. La Rochelle made it to the Final thanks to its imported beef. Nah. Toulouse were hit with a preventable error with the 6:2 split, that left them having to move the best SH out of position, & spent the r...

I always liked Lopez and always had the feeling he never quite managed to be at his best consistently, which is a shame. He was important for Clermont. Started watching the replay of Castres-Toulon. Isa is a hell of a player. On Castres side, Dumora is an excellent fullback. Never made it in the Fre...

Spoofer Piglet and his rugby cancer MH might get out of this game thanks to AB committing suicide but they are utter muck and Coly must be the worst Fre qualified SH in a decade. Will review the replay. Apparently Lopez was outstanding. He is enjoying his time on the coast. I think he plays without...

Clermont has no leadership and look rudderless.
How did Francois Mey get on?

Don't know him and was watching without commentary so couldn't identify him. Sorry

Talking about Russell, just finished viewing a replay of the Racing - Bordeaux game, and Russell coming on changed the game. He is an outstanding player.

Lucu had a huge game and is an excellent placed kicker.

Cutie. She is injured?

Dupont, Meafou and Ramos with world class performances today. I've never rated Bosch at FH but FM he's a huge threat in open play. My favourite non-Fre player, Am, was surprisingly disappointing. Meafou in blue will be a huge improvement from Willemse. Ramos is growing in confidence. Jaminet will b...

You been watching? How about the waving Sharks to the tryline in the 1st half?
Was on a bike, watched only the last 15min.
Yeah: well he was good in offence today but poor in defence.

Jalibert like?

So now we see how senseless this competition has become with the addition of the South African teams, can we go back to the old format?

Players are wasting precious energy on planes going North and South. It is meaningless and hurting them.

You're ok Torque?

Outstanding. And a backrower as well.

Baptiste Lafond, son of the great Jean-Baptiste, has been jailed for rape.

I'm not sure what stats you're looking for but even just comparing to Ryan he's not exactly beating him hands down. Ryan has more dominant tackles, more metres run and more lineout steals. Flament has more overall tackles, France defended more overall. I haven't looked at per minute. He was very go...

Ramos, Dupont, Penaud, Hansen, Doris and Keenan the nominees for player of the tournament. How is Flament not listed ? I don't get the hype about Hansen. https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/05653cd2a7a1d50637351c0e0de37e92d0f44e80/0_59_3928_2357/master/3928.jpg?width=465&quality=85&dpr=1&s=n...

We have Romania, Tonga, SA with 7 days between each game then a two week break to Scotland before the knockouts. It's not as gruelling a schedule as previous world cups because they're making sure there's at least 6 days between every teams' fixtures. Did Tonga manage to take advantage of the new e...

Aldritt only got going in the later stages of the tournament. He didn't do much against us and Doris was supreme in the final quarter to get us over the line. It's a tough one but you'd have to go with the head to head. Stats wise, Doris carried for more metres, made more tackles and stole more bal...

Unlucky Italy.

Are Italians aware that running down the clock isn't in their best interest?

You are so blind it is not even worth discussing with you, Torque.

To Torque's greatest dismay, we must admit that Scotland without Finn is only a shadow of the team it can be.

So a good flyhald by your book, Torque, is one that breaks the line. A good FH is one who reads the game and then has the ability to choose between kicking, passing or attacking the line and then doing it well. Ntamack does none of these things and the only thing he used to do well, tackle, he has ...
