[QUOTE="Mr.cyclopede, post: 310592, member: 13855"] Needed a Froggy to open this 100% hexagonal quarter final ?? This match sounds more like a TOP14 playoff than a Hcup. Shouldn't none of them forget the international refering that would be applied. So on my left, Toulouse, playing at home in a cup he already won 3 times. As the previous seasons, Toulouse hasn't the means to lead it all year long and is no more one step over teams like Perpignan, Clermont and even Castres. Even if they recently beat them easily, Toulouse start to be aware that their best ennemy is...Toulouse when undestating the meeting or underating the opposition. Playing another French tem shouldn't reduce their motivation. Weakpoint: Skrela can so easily be blown off by pressure if not seriously protected. Right is Stade Français. First motivation won't be to go one step further in the comp but to erase the dramatic shutout with the latest blanked defeat against Toulouse at home last month (0-29), defeat that certainly cost Delmas his position. The team, without being splendid, showed versus Clermont good abilities to create, even if they lost too many turnover, and an excellent field occupation (Beauxis>Skrela in this domain). Weakpoint: Self confidence, getting better but so much to rebuild that they still can give up early in the match [/QUOTE]
