Interesting Toulouse line up. Sowerby, Bezy and Merdad move to the bench, replaced by Boulihou, Skrela and Donguy respectively. I always find it interesting when they play Michalak at 9. They are looking for a more controlled game at ten though I am guessing.
As for Cardiff, you have to admit that Dai Young is very loyal to his players in that he is keeping Sam Norton-Knightmare in the team. Hopefully this faith will pay off in the long run, but out in Toulouse I fear the worst. As I have said before, if Cardiff want to progress they must win all of their games from now on. If they can sneak this one, with Sale at home next up, I think they are in for a shout.
Allez les bleus.
