[QUOTE="Chistera, post: 698293, member: 72020"] I agree that Racing only need things to start clicking collectively on a regular basis to perform at the top top level, on the European stage as well as Top 14. 2014-2015 might be their be their best chance though, they'll lose Sexton next year and Talès will be an important downgrade compared to him (even though Goosen is playing great rugby right now, I assume Talès comes in a starter, especially with his past coaches at Racing). [U]edit[/U]: nevermind, they've got Carter coming in and, assuming Labit and Travers do a decent job, they'll scare the hell out of everybody's next year, galactic-Toulon-style. Talès probably isn't so about happy about the news though... In another story, remembered about [URL="http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2014/oct/16/european-rugby-champions-cup-english-clubs-new-format-toulon-northampton"]this piece[/URL] from the beginning of the season by the Guardian's rugby editor, Robert Kitson, which explained why English clubs benefited from ERC's new format and went on: "[I]For better or worse it is even possible to imagine a posse of four English clubs – Saints, Sarries, Bath and Wasps – and perhaps just one French side in the last eight[/I]" . Quite off the mark it seems :) . [/QUOTE]
