Re: Kit changes for colourblind viewers

I remember watching the Wales v Ireland games on Grandstand in black and white and it was difficult to tell the two sides apart! Also remember the Ted Lowe gaffe! Priceless!!

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Here's an article in today's Midi Olympique singing the praises of Freddie Steward, awarding him the Oscar of the week and calling him "Monsieur Propre", or Mr Clean!

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Here's the probable French starting XV for Saturday's match at Murrayfield with only two changes, Cameron Woki in the 2nd row in place of Paul "Richard Head" Willemse, and Louis Bielle-Biarrey on the wing for Yoram Moefana. Sadly, scrum half Lucu is unlikely to be replaced by Nolan Le Garr...

Re: French rugby 2023/24

What's the story with Baptiste Jauneau, he doesn't seem to be getting many starts at Clermont and looks like a natural understudy to Dupont in terms of attacking game. He was on the bench on Saturday for Clermont's bp win over Lyon and came on the pitch after 60mins or so. He's still only 20 and fu...

Re: French rugby 2023/24

How are the French reacting to the Irish defeat Robes. Is Galthie feeling the pressure Shocked! Apparently, all is not well within the coaching team. A pal of mine with whom I went to the Toulouse v Bath game, knows one of them very well and he and his colleagues have strongly disagreed with some o...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

À pal of mine knows one of the coaches who has said there’s been some serious disagreement with Galthié’s choice if players but on the evidence of yesterday evening, even if Dupont and Ntamack had been playing, the result wouldn’t have changed. Nevertheless, another defeat next Saturday in Edinburgh...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Lucu is having a shocker in Dupont’s absence. Will Galthié have the balls to bring on the promising Le Garrec?

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Romain Taofifenua, who’s been selected on the bench for tomorrow evening’s match, is doubtful and could be replaced by Posolo Tuilagi. This has now been confirmed. Tuilagi is « only » 1m92 so is hardly likely to be a line out threat (as I mentioned earlier, it’d take a forklift truck to get his 145...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Here's the French team for Friday evening's opening match, and it's as expected. I'm really hoping that Racing scrum half, Nolan Le Garrec, gets more than 5 minutes at the end of the game to be properly tested at international level, because I'm convinced he has the potential to keep Antoine Dupont...
