FFS. He and Penaud are sick notes.

Meantime, Montpellier remain rugby cancer. Zero ambition to play with ball in hand.

I can’t believe they got the Brennus, Bordeaux really missed their chance last season.
Some good stuffs from Clemont today, beside that it’s very painful to watch Plisson, not trying to steer any sh.t but Finn is 10x more efficient and entertaining.
Pearce was excellent again, top ref.

But ASM are going to be screwed if both Iturria and Penaud leave. All of a sudden, Toulouse has a lot of money again (Penaud)?

With their Shopping spree last year you wonder how they could stay within the cap with 3 international full back, 2 wingers, a 9 a 10 50% of the french pack ...

they are already gaming the cap for sure.

Yes, it was Biggar's introduction to the home crowd and him speaking to them in pretty decent French, albeit heavily accented, that I was referring to.

I actually switched off a little bit into the second half, it wasn't exactly riveting stuff.

Much as I hate to quote PR

Firstly, at fly-half, Romain Ntamack acquitted himself well during the Six Nations. Still, thereafter, with Toulouse and France, he dropped off the form cliff – looking lacklustre, lacking match control and absolutely unable to direct France with the authority needed with such quality and quantity of possession. It might be argued that Antoine Dupont wasn’t at his mercurial best alongside him, but even in sluggish form, the scrum-half is still world-class.

When he got his opportunities (bearing in mind he missed the end of the 2021/22 season with an injury), Jalibert looked different gravy as a 10 – sharp, fast, intelligent and threatening. You could argue all day over who the better rugby player is without reaching a conclusion, but the question here is who is the better starting fly-half, and the answer to that is clearly Jalibert.

Didn't really know the details but it sounds all very dodgy. How long will the appeal take? And why hasn't he been suspended pending the verdict?

A FRENCH COURT on Tuesday sentenced French Rugby Federation (FFR) president Bernard Laporte to a two-year suspended term for corruption, less than a year before France hosts the World Cup.
Laporte was convicted after the court ruled he showed favouritism in awarding a shirt sponsor contract for the national side to a close friend, Mohed Altrad, the billionaire owner of Top 14 champions Montpellier.

Appeal in the courts suspends the sentence.
As For the Union he and his stooges run the show they won't suspend him, the main opposition group is calling for new elections but seriously this has negative chances of happening...

a large number of bought clubs made sure he got reelected despite all that was known (it was known before his first mandate that he was a crook).

Yup. He has enough dirt on all of them that none is going to hang himself.

We talked about this back in September and we all kind of knew what was going to happen, great french “justice’

Now his lawyer claims that is innocent because an appeal in the cour suspends the sentence (as Laurent mentioned)

Just watched a replay of the Paris derby. Concerning for France when guys like Woki or Fickou look so much out of their depth. Woki in particular was abject, with a 3 against wasted 10m from the try line and a cheap penalty 5 min later...

Only ray of light was Macalou whose work rate was outstanding

That king Joris Segonds has some boot

Racing remind me of Bath (which is ironic........... or maybe indicative...... since Russell is off there): consistently a high quality squad on paper with plenty of flashy players but too often seem work shy and lacking in discipline. At the moment, they are directionless.

Parra had a good game but have to be wary given how bad Racing were. Maybe Parra is enjoying a new challenge and also I think Paris currently offers him more in terms of options around him than ASM did in those last few years (ASM guilty of the same crimes as I listed for Racing above and then when the marquee names became old/stale, the club has plummeted).

Don’t know what is happening there (Jono Gibbs?) itused to be players from UBB going to Clermont, Lopez, Païva, Pelissié.
This season Bordeaux got Vili and Falatea from them, now Penaud

With maybe Radradra coming back, it looks like Marti wants a trophy before he gives the keys to the next prez.
