Well done Grenoble...what was proving to be a great weekend,went awful with montpellier, 15 mins to go and conceed 21 pts, very poor...
It's all about home form, and gren, oyonnax,Bordeaux and brive clearly understand this, I just hope BO can grasp as well and realise they aren't goign to be gifted tries or win multiple tmo decisions every week...
The moneyball system and art of great coaching and team spirit and home pride is alive n kicking in what is the best competition in the world...BO need to catch up fast..
Now , where these factors are not blossoming at the moment is at racing, I did nt watch this game, will study tomorrow
Like mont, they let me down on the betting front, and I m surprised (or am I?). Strong selection v oyx b team, home game, in need of redemption for last weeks drubbing and poor show v brive, it was all set up for a big racing win, in style...
A friend has said the pack was ok , but backline misfired...pack should have been rampant v a prod2 pck and the backline shold have been walking tires in for fun...
With those coaches , I'm v surprised by the slow "progress" from rm. I didnt expect fireworks from the start, but today was golden opportunity to start clicking..
Now for fear of getting my head bitten off, I do feel that perhaps most of their foreign signings were not the best..
There may also unravel a weakness in the coaches, and perhaps they might struggle to handle "stars", castres is a totally different kettle of fish, small closed knit town, team made up of cast me downs, gelled and nurtured together, working together ...
Racing is in the capital, a coach load of stars...totally different dynamics...a leader or two need to emerge...
