The 2010-2011 Top 14 season is starting soon. This will be the first time I will be following the competition. My favourite player, Francois Steyn, moved to Racing Metro and because of that I will be supporting that team. It might not be the best reason to start supporting a team but what the hell...
The bonus point system is the same as other competitions:
* 4 points for a win.
* 2 points for a draw.
* 1 "bonus" point for winning while scoring at least 3 more tries than the opponent.
* 1 "bonus" point for losing by 7 points (or less).
As the name of the league might give away, there's 14 teams participating. These are the teams:
- Agen
- Bayonne
- Biaritz
- Bourgoin
- Brive
- Castres
- Clermont
- Montpellier
- Perpignan
- Racing Métro
- La Rochelle
- Stade Français
- Toulon
- Toulouse
Agen and La Rochelle won promotion last season from the D2 League and replace Montauban (financial problems) and Albi
Well, I hope there's some French rugby fans to discuss with here. I am planning to visit a Racing Metro match for the coming season. Would help to get some inside information
