[QUOTE="BasqueBete, post: 589421, member: 70333"] If Biarritz had all their players available, then yes, a decent team and worthy of challenging for a hcup place with a great deal of luck and clever managment in the way, but the front row depth and quality is poor, and this is a key area. I think everyone would agree with me that the scrums and Lineouts In the first two matches have certainly been their Achilles heel. Heguy's throwing in atrocious, on Saturday, key Lineout with about 5 mins to go, on halfway line, and he failed to hit no2 jumper, which handed the initiative back to MHR, and had me sweating again on my bet. Injuries to yqchvili and Waenga, would expose biarritz terribly. Sad to say, but BO need to approach this season (and probably future seasons until drastic overhaul) as if they are a firm favourite to be relegated and therefore every opportunity to pick up wins and losing bonus pts need to be grasped as if their lives depended on it, cos they do.. And dare i say it, but they might just need to approach the amlin cup like Bordeaux did last season, and not give a hoot about it..cos 32 + games is going to cause a great deal of stress on this squad..
