With apologies to Master Manx, but a noble load must be shared. We all need a Samwise Gamgee.
Huge challenge for Montpellier and Perpignan but two teams who can manage something interesting in their respective fixtures. MP really need some confidence and flow back.

I'd say all home wins, with the joker going to Racing Metro perhaps.

P.S.: oh shyt, it's HC week...oh well.

 

[Tony Manx]

Bloody early is it not........these matches are more than two weeek away!!!!

Not just me................In my defence, I plead age, no doubt you boooooozzzzze!!

 

[Big Ewis]

nope. Strange sleeping pills these days......completely out of it, I'm on Saturn in my head.

 

[gaston le gaff]

If we are doing TOP 14 already, can anyone tell me how Montpellier got on with their two H Cup games against Leicester

Well they got trashed in the first at Leicester and dropped Ranger for their home match but cannot remember the result of that one.................

 

[Tony Manx]

Finally some good news in the Top 14 for BO..............

Clermont will be without the services of many players against Biarritz on Saturday.

Chouly , Kayser , Bardy and Nalaga to rest, Kotze has been allowed to go to South Africa for a wedding and Parra, Lapandry, Stanley and Byrneare are still injured

Fofana , Cudmore, Rougerie and Bonnaire are uncertain and Lacrampe, who was stunned against Llanelli, continues under the established protocol after concussions and awaits the approval of a specialist.

I just feel that record is about to fall...........................

 

[Big Ewis]

oh shiiittt, I was so looking forward to seeing that record go up to 100....how legendary would that be ?!...
so who the fk is playing basically ? like, 8 guys ?
and yeh I haven't seen Fofana in forever recently..

Plus how sorry Tony but how shytty would it be if this grand, epic record were to fall to.....the most struggling team in recent Top 14 history !! :rofl:

HaHa.....................slight exaggeration............there have been worse...................but I cannot remember them!!!!

Poetic though as we were the last to win there and nothing wrong with the last hurrah!!!

grrrrr, we'll just have to see about that, gentleman !
What score would you predict if Biarritz win though, Clermont 5-6 Biarritz ?

 

[gaston le gaff]

Even with half the team injured, rested or on holiday and the other half stilled pi**** from Christmas Clermont's record will not be broken by BO. sorry Tony.

Mais non..................3-25 of course!!!

[Tony Manx]

[gaston le gaff]

Merry Christmas to all forumers even if they are impossible to understand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy New Year comes later, after we have beaten Toulon and Biarritz and start 2014 en
premier place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Big Ewis]

BT Sport showing...........

Toulon v Montpellier on 13.30 and 19.45 (UK) Saturday
Toulouse v UBB on 11.30 (UK) Sunday

One wonders why the Toulouse game is not being shown live when it kicks off at virtually the same time as the repeat of the Toulon game starts?

 

[gaston le gaff]
