Nice.

I was wondering about Peceli Yato during the World Cup, do you happen to know if he was injured or just not selected? He hasn't played a lot of rugby in the last couple of seasons.

Was injured I think. Fiji was mostly missing a 10 (considering they pushed England very close with a 12 at outhalf you wonder what they would have done with Muntz in the quarter).

Sounds like Cockerill is being lined up to take over as Georgia's head coach?

Can’t believe what these a..holes did to the club.

[Stranger]

What's the story here?

Bunch of cunts and FAF.

[Marylandolorian]

What's the story here?

My short version
Two French guys who made money in Hong Kong bought Biarritz rugby in 2018, they had big projects, too big for the Biarritz politicians, the stadium & buildings were in bad shape, they wanted the city to put $10 Million in this, later the Mayor refused so both sides started blaming the others and chaos won.
Now the club is for sale for 1 euro (plus few millions debt)

Longer one

Grenoble beating Montpelier at half time!!

Blimey, what has happened to Montpellier?

[Stranger]

It finished Grenoble 18 Montpellier 2O, very close but they stay in the Top 14

Sadly. Grenoble missed too many kicks (11points)

Montpellier is the most disliked team in the Top14, including its president (Altrad) and coaches.

LaR's dire discipline this season goes into full blown meltdown.

LaR's dire discipline this season goes into full blown meltdown.

It really did, the comms suggested that the ref tried to make up for the first card in chalking off Kinghorn’s magnificent assist, it was never a forward pass, but Toulouse were never going to lose against 13.

And LaR were really in the game too. Hard to see how under ROG they've gone so badly to pieces this year in the (in)discipline stakes.

Congrats Bordeaux, UBB going to their first final after 4 semi finals in a row. It should be a good game with about 15 EDF players plus some good international ones .
Toulouse by 14.

[Marylandolorian]

Today ( thanks to the euro foolball) #1 and #3 best attack.

[sturginho]

This is a bloodbath!

[sturginho]

Mallia is a very lucky boy

[Stranger]

Toulouse looking very comfortable

[Marylandolorian]

This is Bordeaux (my home club), in April/May they beat La Rochelle by 20 points, Clermont by 30 then Toulouse by 2 and today for their most important game ever, they are completely lost.

[sturginho]

Capuozzo!!!!!!!

[Torquemada 1420]

FM. The arse reaming to end all arse reamings.

[sturginho]

Just seen a rumour that Toulon want Capuozzo to replace Jaminet (I guess they want to terminate his contract then?)
