[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 908323, member: 45598"] It definitely tells more than the Premiership where there is no international class three quarter line. Europe? We'll take a closer case study and go game by game. Did Clermont 2017 have an international class three quarter line? Lopez - Lamerat - Rougerie... No. Did Munster 2017? Far from it. Glasgow? Russell - Horne - Dunbar. Close but not really. Toulon? Trinh Duc - Nonu - Carraro. No. Giteau - Nonu - Basta. Yeah 10-3 win, narrowest of the campaign and they really struggled to open Toulon up. 2016 Racing - Carter - Dumarou - Goosen. No. Wasps - no. Saints - no. Ulster/Oyannax/Toulouse - no. So, in conclusion, they met one international class three quarter line while dominating Europe, they met one in that match against Leinster. QED - that game tells us as much about how they'll do at international level. How'd they get on over those 160 mins? Not great... No babe ttyl. xx [/QUOTE]
