[TRF_stormer2010]

Which game are you referring too, Gaston? I am nervous about Racing hosting Clermont though expect a win but there are quite a few others where the visitors would be seen as 'better' or on better form looking at the current log (I count 5 though I only see 3 games as realistic away wins).

[gaston le gaff]

As youi well know away wins in France are like gold dust, or sex when you get to 90 not often!!!!
obviously Montpellier i have to put down as an away win, i was at training on Monday and the boys looked slick but as i said away wins very difficult in France i will stick my neck out and say 6 home wins and one away but will not be using my money!!!!
La Rochelle could do themselves a power of good if they beat Brive on Thurs evening but they really need 5 pts they are my 2nd team as i am a good friend of your SA Rassie VV

 

[Chistera]

I'm betting on an away win for Stade Français, didn't have that many called up for the 6 Nations, contrary to last year, and are in great form.
Castres maybe? Will their new coach have an instant effect? They are without many of their key players though as Kockott and Gray are out on injury.
I don't know about Toulon, they can do it, but need be at their best. They've only had Bastareaud and Halfpenny playing the 6 Nations though. @gaston le gaff
No way for Montpelleir, sorry, simply can't see it happen, Grenoble is a solid team.

 

[gaston le gaff]

short memory my friend it happened last season and why not this !!!!!!!!!!!! no one never said they were not solid but how solid is solid when you have Montpellier coming to town and why would i say anything else!!!!!!!!!!!

Well if it panned out like that it would make the table amazingly tight; top 3 (all ready all on the same log points) staying put and 4 to 7 catching them up that little bit.. It'd mean even the mid team could still have a mathematical chance at finishing top this late in the season. I quite like that. I am learning every week why the French rate their club comp so highly. I am struggling to find the games though with mostly being unable to see them live- though I try to catch Racing- and the site I got them off after having closed down sadly.

I have Stade as the only away win.

You can add Tillous-Borde, Giraudo, Suta, Gorgodze to that list so that makes 6 to my knowledge


La Rochelle get out of the relegation zone after their win against Brive last night.........19-12 should have been more, but they butchered numerous occaisions.

Another cracker from Bordeaux!

Toulon dominated the first half but great 2nd half comeback from Bordeaux in spite of their point deficit

Bordeaux showed that if you stay on your feet and offload at pace into the defense Toulon are on the backfoot very quickly. Toulon don't like teams playing fast tempo as they're slow at times in their defensive repositioning their big pack leaves space that were exploited by the UBB backs

They rattled Toulon with their ability to attack from broken play. UBB can vary their attacking points at large or from deep and constantly keep the opposition on their toe

Lesgourgues changed the dynamics with better choices going forward than Adams

+34 000 spectators for an unbelievable atmosphere

With league games like this versus the 6N blue drudge, it is not difficult to see why fans allegiance has turned....

Toulon do have an ability to rescue a defeat out of the jaws of victory!! it loooked all over after the first half....so much so I turned over!!!!

Good to hear about my tip for top Yann Lesgourges....he really should be playing more than Adams but am trusting Ibanez knows what he is doing with his progression!

Fantastic support and justifies the team play and adventure that UBB play with!

 

[FrenchFan]

Bordeaux didn't seem rattle at all even though they were behind

That silly try Toulon conceded kept Bordeaux in the game. Hair dryer treatment from Bernard next week......

From what I've seen Lesgourges is a better SH than Adams

He's had a noticeable impact every time he came on. He scored a splendid solo try agst Montpellier, very pacey and a great eye for a gap. He should be first starter imo.

What an atmosphere in Bordeaux, I love the buzz in this city and the Bordeaux fans are great. It's amazing to think for a footie town they have the best audience in the league

 

[gaston le gaff]

Once again the incredible no away wins adores the TOP 14, we lost in the last minute and Clermont managed a draw at Racing must do better Montpellier.

 

[Sapinou]

What a game! Some people forgot that Stade Français didn't win in Bayonne since 2007-2008 Absolutely delighted by the spirit shown by the team, Bayonne is the most underestimated team in the Top14 (for example, Rugbyrama sees us losing 4 games on 5, and is always wrong about us -if you're a gambler, wait the Rugbyrama's pronostics and bet the opposite that they say about Bayonne- and no one mentions the good match played by Bayonne, only the bad game of the opponents or their injuried to justify the result).
Castres got one foot and the balls in the coffin, Lyon & La Rochelle are the best placed to follow CO belown but nothing is done yet...

 

[gaston le gaff]

Bayonne have never been easy at home even though the last couple of years has not been great still incredibly tough to win over there. There are no grounds in the TOP 14 WHERE A WIN IS EASY AS I SAID 6 HOME WINS AND A DRAW THIS WEEKEND ENOUGH PROOF

Bayonne are always a handful at home. And they hate the Parisians coming to their ground, you can smell the hatred down there at Jean Dauger. They are their punch bag. I love that :lol:

Gee that is some record agst SF. Don't think anyone as that record agst the Parisians. But you guys hate their guts so that's enough motivation.

Rugbyrama haven't got a clue about the league. They should rename themselves rugbybabar.com They're too busy sucking on FFR candy.

Some of their one-eye reviews and analysis of les Bleus games have us over here regularly in stitches. They're a bunch of clowns

And Bordeaux second now, what a number they played on Toulon in the 2nd half. It was class!!!

 

[Ossau]

Hi, I really enjoy watching rugby games at Chaban Delmas, the atmosphere is incredible indeed.
But sorry, fans are not all great. I'd even say that most of them don't know the rules.
The truth is when they were in Pro D2, the stade Charles Moga was quite empty. There were less than 4.000 fans there.
Now 30.000 fans have been added.
So there is an incredible atmosphere yes but a deafening one when the penalty is against them (and they don't even know why there are booing...)!

 

[FrenchFan]

That's Ok they support their team brilliantly and that's what any team wants. Great supporters. I'll go back to more game in Bordeaux any day esp. with weather improving a dry surface and a good pitch they'll run everything. So are we going to see Pau in Top14 next season?
