Toby in Toulouse

Post by Robespierre »

Those of you who understand some French will enjoy listening to and watching this link from the Toulouse website

Toby is answering questions about the new season.
Let's hope he rediscovers the form that he had in the first part of last season.
He should be part of the squad for Sunday's big match against Toulon.

Pretty impressive from Toby. He obviously has a keen ear for languages. Who says the English can't speak foreign !!

It's nothing to do with rugby (I know!) but it's always worth repeating the interchange between the Trotter brothers...

Del: One of my most favouritist meals is Duck à l'Orange, but I don't know how to say that in French.

Rodney: It's canard.

Del: You can say that again bruv!

Rodney: No the French word for duck is canard.

Del: Is it? I thought that was something to do with the QE2?

Rodney: No that's Cunard. They're the ones with the boats and what have you. The French for duck is canard.

Del: Right lovely jubbly. Right, so how do the French say à l'Orange then?

Raising of eyebrows and shoulder shrugs are very French - he does those things well too!
