Looks very decent.
As an aside, I have never seen Ramos at 10. Is he another Damien Traille there?

He is not great there but a decent backup when everything else is failing.
He has a better pass then Traille.

Hmm. Certainly not a Traille. Trouble with Traille is he had many of the attributes to be a FH (kinda a larger, lump Lamaison) but his desire to shirk responsibility meant he was mentally unsuitable. Just wanted to get away from the ball at 10. He had a great game v Leicester at FH in the HEC once IIRC and didn't he start for France against the might of Italy once too?
Anyway, I digress. Ramos is much smaller. He is a good counter attacker but is prone to the odd Brusque/Poitrefaut brainfarts too. His kicking is reliable enough. Will watch with interest whether he is can work as a foil for Dupont.

What's the general feeling about what seems to be happening at Beziers?

I'm just glad it's not happening in Toulon, for once.

Mourad wants l'OM now!
In regards to Beziers, it would represent a massive injection of cash for the club and wipe out all the debts. You can bet that they would get results pretty quickly.
Salary cap will need to be tightened for sure.

Looks like status quo in Béziers after all.
DNACG is unconvinced.
Completely weird situation.

Dans cet entretien, Max Guazzini revient également sur la relation d'amitié qu'il entretient depuis vingt ans avec Christophe Dominici, aujourd'hui porteur d'un projet de reprise, du côté de Béziers : « Je n'oublierai jamais ce jour de 2005 où l'équipe était regroupée en stage à Bugeat, en Corrèze. Evidemment, « Domi » était arrivé en retard, dans une belle voiture de sport et en passant devant les autres, avait lancé : « Ca va les trompettes ? » Marconnet et toute la bande s'étaient alors promis de se venger. » Qu'ont-ils fait ? « Un soir, ils l'ont chopé dans sa chambre, où il visionnait un film un peu « olé olé », l'ont mis à poil et l'ont lâché dans le seul restaurant de Bugeat, qui était plein à craquer. Les gens quittaient leur table et venaient vers lui pour demander des autographes. Lui, gêné, leur disait : « Vous pourriez me donner un tablier, d'abord ? » Qu'est-ce qu'on s'était marré ! »

Pro Rugby changed a lot in 15 years. Now it will be all over the social medias, the player kick from EDF and public apology.

L'equipe avait besoin de talonneurs de qualite, avec Ulugia vieillissant et Tadjer clairement pas au niveau. En fait, Kayser n'avait jamais ete remplace. L'arrivee de Pelissier est une bonne nouvelle, un talonneur dynamique qui devrait bien s'adapter au style de l'equipe. Je ne sais pas ce que vaut Etienne Fourcade mais j'imagine que c'est un investissement sur l'avenir.
La signature de Bezy est un gros coup, avec Parra-Bezy, on est parre en 9. De meme, la signature de Matsushima est une belle nouvelle.
On peut se poser la question du centre et de l'arriere quand meme, ou l'on risque d'etre un peu depourvu. Je regrette qu'on ait laisse partir le jeune Taofifenua a Paris. En 10, ce n'est pas la grande classe mais c'est solide.

And with École de Rugby + senior side I don't have time to watch rugby...
