[QUOTE="DonBilly, post: 162380"] Bristol won this match round and square. The Stade Français lacked too much poser in their front row. This season is a transition season for them. They have lost several of their historical players and have already 12 of their players injured ... This was their fourth game of the season and have not been able to train properly. They lost all their pre-season matchs versus top14 and ProD2 teams... They were not able to field 15 valid players and had to take some of their Rugby academy players. Having said that the departure of Pichot, Auradou, James as well as the absence of players like Marconnet weakened a lot the leadership and mental toughness required to play such a match. I think they will struggle until end of the year, the time required to get composure and consistency. Bristol pack played very well and played the style of Rugby which is efficient in such weather conditions. [/QUOTE]
