Toulouse leading the pack so far, with Tolofua saying that doesn't add extra pressure on their shoulders, but we'll see if Toulouse can finally do what they did in the HC in Wembley, win on the road. They've yet to succeed in doing that, in 4 out of 4 defeats away from home this season...Surely they can take on Brive.
I'm happy about watching some of that Oyonnax USAP match too Saturday:
Oyonnax had their 'legendary' home advantage demystified when they lost to Stade Francais towards the end of September, only losing by a single point (15-16). The other 4 matches at home have all been victories, including wins over Clermont, Biarritz, Castres and Toulon.
So in there, that's the reigning European and French champs they beat, and the European runner-up (and also the crappiest team in all the Top 14 )...now they need to focus on a 5th ranked super solid team in Perpignan.
Note: Castres Clermont should look good. Castres can't play for shyt away from home, but they sure can dismantle visiting squads at Stade Pierre-Antoine. Clermont have been very solid all year long, except when they paid a visit to Pélissié and TDuc and co. in Montpellier...but otherwise are very solid on the road too.
