Top 14 – Toulon s'impose contre Montpellier

The fact that he is continuing on though leads you to believe it is not within the coaching setup but within the wider team or company environment. Now way would SB endure whats happening unless he though Felix's contribution would outweigh it.

But obviously the back row is a strength, it is just in the tight that it's very unusual to not have players (or coachs) coming through!?!

Perhaps if England do get into a similar tricky spot as Aus did then some good names will be putting their hand up?

I'm happy to play the long game and wait for another 6N thanks ;p

Double carded Argentina doing the same job as a the old french 14 point try this morning? ✅

5 team conferences make the conferences more competitive, more games, and thus more viewership.

I was thinking that there would be 0 competition between teams outside of conferences, until the knockout stages. A bit like Champions League, and promotion/relegation from these conferences once financial stability is there.

Keep in mind a part of your country still belongs to the Crown, which is worse than having their flag on ours. Lmk when your country is whole.

Plummer has been and is a battler and after a run of 5-6 good games is being treated as a star at Clermont. I'd probably bank on living well off that one good month of footy I had myself too.

It's all very typical indeed. But hey, half of our season is NPC and getting to watch these guys for those 5-6 years of development play at an entertaining level. So a glass half empty article to me, but worth repeating perhaps.

My only thought is that they are taking it easy on Dmac as he's supposedly going to the Top 14 after this, so having no off season before coming back again in July.
