Lacey having a rare good game.

You sure about that...I think he's just guessing most of it.

If he is he's guessing well!

 

[Reiser99]

I think Gloucester have been very hard done by, especially with that pull back then.

Pullback by Bonneval? There was nothing there.

Stade are the better side, loads of stupid errors by both sides.

 

[Reiser99]

Overall Stade have played better. However in the context of the pullback, it was small, but when you see how close Marshall is to touching down then it's massive.

 

[Reiser99]

Also how many games this year can Slimani be subbed off and then end up finishing the game for a not too short period of time.

 

[FrenchFan]

Well deserved win for Stade Français. What a way to end a roller coaster of a season.

Cracking solo try by Doumayrou and Slimani was a beast in scrum.

 

[gaston le gaff]

First blood to the French with a well deserved Stade win, so now the big one this afternoon can Clermont undo their ***le of always being the bridesmaid,, only one final victory in a multitude of many.
