[QUOTE="M Two One, post: 465120, member: 29650"] I believe Montpellier, Clermont (tells us how good the latter is) and Biarritz had the most players missing during the rugby world cup, but that's no excuse for playing so poorly. I haven't heard anything about internal issues and they still had good players like Peyrelongue and their young future stars, so my guess would be that they just didn't start well and have lost all confidence at this point. Sort of how Stade Français spiraled out of control, though their issues combined internal issues, making it far more difficult to recover. I agree on your call on Balshaw, Burotu and Lesgourgues, only I believe the latter will recover since he's so young and will be playing under Yachvili. He needs to put on some muscle though. I honestly believe that Clermont is quickly becoming the world's best rugby club. The amount of established talent they currently have, combined with a large number of potential young French superstars is enough to get anyone excited whether they're a fan or not. [/QUOTE]
