Re: French rugby 2023/24

There’s some good news in Toulouse. Antoine Dupont is temporarily back from his 7s adventure and is available for this weekend’s match away to Bordeaux /Bègles. Even better is the return to fitness of Romain Ntamack, 7 months after his injury in the World Cup warm-up game against Scotland, and I’ve ...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

There’ll always be « what ifs », but four tries against three is a hell of a performance. Borther’s England are on the way up!

Re: Formerly of this parish

Manu is said to be signing for Bayonne in the Top14.
Playing rugby in the beautiful Basque country ain't a bad idea to boost your pension pot!

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022

Saracens' prop Christian Judge has signed a two-year contract with Beziers in ProD2.

Beziers are currently 2nd and will surely be in the mix for the playoffs for promotion to the Top14.

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

All reasonable points of view, it's a matter of opinion of course and I may well be wrong. Why can't the Prem be as successful as thr French league? I do think Premiership football is part of it, clearly there are reasons why we're getting £3m and French clubs are getting £7m - I doubt it's just be...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Why do people want to move Freddie to center when it would negate his world class aerial ability, attack & defence, yet also open his largest weakness of slow initial acceleration ? If this is the case, one would think that McKellar would arrange for Steward to have specialised sprint coaching?

Re: French rugby 2023/24

Matthieu Jalibert will play no more part in the 6Nations, which could be a blessing in disguise. Who will replace him? I'd go with Racing's Antoine Gibert and select clubmate Nolan Le Garrec at scrum half. Maxim Lucu has been a disappointment at scrum half. His club form with Bordeaux/Bègles has be...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Can’t see the French changing him though because of his goal kicking Neither can I, but if new fullback Léo Barré continues to play well and Romain Ntamack is back from injury (he’s begun serious training) then his place in the side could be in jeopardy. Would Ntamack be risked v England No, he’s n...
