Exactly. That feeling (I'm sure you'll experience it next year or beyond) when the ref blows the whistle and you realize you've won will live with you forever. Something that Stade fans have just experienced and Toulon fans wont really understand.

You need to be sh!t for a while to really appreciate the victories.

I think that final games belong to players first. That kind of sensations exist when you see your team beat Leinster at Aviva Stadium, or Munster at Limerick, and when you enjoy the atmosphere before and after the game.

And one of my best fan's souvenir is the HCup QF at RDS in 2010. I guess you remember that my team did'nt win it.


2015 Top 14 final was simply an ugly game. A win would have made my day, but I'm not sure it could give me a better week-end. But I'd prefer an ASM win also...

I thought you needed my lovin',
But it's my heart that you stole.
I thought you wanted my money,
But you plundered my soul.

the latest bit of ranting from Toulon's owner is as the Barrage is not til June because of the world cup he expects his internationals to choose club over country as hes paying them and the tests will only be friendlies, that could get interesting for Halpenny, their Australians and their South Africans

Apparently joining as RWC cover. Signed Sireli Bobo and Matt Stevens to do a similar job.

This is a cracking little vlog/series by Brian Mujati(who I initially thought was an utter tosser after the Sykes/Heinke incident), really comes across well, and its a great insight into being a pro rugby player. Interesting to hear what he says/hints at about Racing and the player turnover, we may have forked out to get Sexton back, but he obv wanted to return, somethings rotten in Racing imo.

Around seven minutes in.

Been watching that too and am really enjoying it. That story, the way he talks about dealing with anxiety, and deciding to experiment in the gym because of his situation are all fascinating, highly recommend it. I'd love to go for a pint with him.

Also, Racing have bought terribly for next season...Carter, Laulala, Masoe, and Castro. They're all past it to varying degrees and they're not getting the players that they think they are.

He really seems like a sound lad, he almost makes me want to take up home brewing, i'm seriously considering it lol. The gym stuff is good, he has a totally different philosophy to what most S&C guys are preaching, but the fact he played a season(or most of one) at TH prop in the Top14 at 103/4 kg is unbelievable.

Whoever is running things at Racing most have documents on the owner, complete scattergun recruitment policy, throwing money away.

He just wants people to say that Toulon is World Champion.

He already considers that Toulon is the most known club of the world. He is certain that all aussies, south africaners and kiwis know and consider RCT as the biggest club ever.

This guy is simply insane.

Reports in French media are suggesting that Toulon are looking to sign Sonny Bill Williams after Rio 2016
