[QUOTE="gaston le gaff, post: 832490, member: 61265"] you have probably picked the one of the teams that are poorly supported, next season they have a brand new stadium around 20,000 and how they expect to fill it is beyond me. There are quite a few teams that have lost crowd numbers this season including us at Montpellier. The TOP 14 has become more and more defence orientated which is not pleasing to the modern day crowds. Myself 3-3 draws of long ago pleased as much as 6 try games, but maybe i'm showing my age. The importance of winning is becoming just too much, you may have seen we have got Aaren Cruden for Montpellier next season salary estimated at 800,000. Whether French clubs can get back to using home bred talent is not so sure, but i think Laporte is trying his best and with co operaton from Noves it could happen but don't put too much money on it. There are still plenty of good games to watch irrespective of what i've mentioned but French TOP 14 rugby will never be like your SH super rugby 2 very differnt animals. [/QUOTE]
