Ma’afu? Maybe both Gigena and Bateman have taken hits. Apart from that no gripes :smt023

Nigel Owens. Why would he give us a break? He is there to make sure both teams abide by the laws.

Hi all, I’m a long time lurker of this forum and felt no better time for my first post than this weekend against the French galacticos! This is a game that we can win. A lot of the discussion this season has revolved around big time players in key positions not showing up, I believe Sunday could be the game that they do. We have good options in the back row (the area I believe has been our biggest weakness positionally) and a front row ready to take on the big boys of Paris. For one weekend I hope this forum can forget about GG, SC, MF, the hotel, the carpark etc. and get behind the team... I look forward to celebrating GM’s first European away victory as head coach!

To all those venturing to Paris this weekend especially Johnthegriffs party may you all have a safe trip and cheer on a team that really needs your noise now. Keep warm with cognac and remember -

Don't get too excited about tomorrows game. Racing are the inform team and although they made hard work of it against the Scarlets away they absolutely hammered Ulster at home. I hope for a win but I would be satisfied with a good performance and a point or two. However, as we saw last week it only takes a red card, a moment of madness to destroy a game plan. Lets hope if there's a red its for Racing :-)

Shame Holmes is injured. Halfway to a bonus point. I’ll happily lose this half 4-2 on the tries front and take a point.

Not overly impressed with Racing, a couple of defensive errors and a referee that isn’t up to speed with modern rugby have cost us. If we can cut the errors we will be there or thereabouts at 80.
