It's not your ball Mark. You can't take it away with you.

Good news for Munster and Racing anyway.

It wasnt us, it was the Barmy Brussels Bureaucrats that stole your league by making you use the metric system to add up points

Lyon beat ROG's La Rochelle 45-17 today at home.

Saints lost 22-13 away to Bath yesterday, their first loss of the year.

Could be a very interesting game next week.

Watched Lyon game today- top of league and all that but they are bang average. We play anything like we
did last weekend we will beat them home and away.

If they're bang average, it must be a pretty good average. Won 8 out of 9 games. Just recorded a 45-17 victory (against ROG's La Rochelle).
Their wins away at Toulon and Racing are what stood out for me this season. It's not like they've had only easy away games.

How did Bastareaud look at 8? He has all the skills, apart from the scrum.
Lambey, Pallison, Wulf, Doussain just some of the players not involved.

Agree results are good but performance yesterday would
not put fear in anyone. LaR were poor.
Bastereaud was only ok- as always he looks hopelessly unfit

Bastareaud doesn't need to be fit - he's massive, fast, strong, powerful, balanced etc. A destructive 55 minutes is all he needs to deliver.
