[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 633869, member: 57076"] The article did say smt about conserving their players for a uber-rough finish of the Top 14 season. Since they just lost at home to Racing, that put them in a pretty bad shape on the table falling all the way down to 8th place, and they need to be at least in the Top 6. So I dunno about "stupid" as they must know exactly what they're doing if they're going to such lengths as to not play some of their "stars" here, but they obviously (rightfully) consider the Top 14 as a big priority, one that overshadows the rest. They had a really nice run in this Amlin thing, so it's too bad...but their backs are against the wall now. They were 2nd in the ultra-competitive Top 14 for a while and fall to eighth in the blink of an eye just recently. They still feel like they've got legitimacy competing for the ***le, surely.
