Pau vs Tigers - Sat 18 Jan 20

[fortysix]

For those supporters that are travelling, Pau is a truly gorgeous town... From memory, in 1999, when we won, we drank in Paparambordes bar, where Pat Howard excelled himself, and then I managed to get a cafe below overlooking the town below, to re-open up at 1am , where they served about 50 Tigers supporters with salad and frites.

With those guys absent/available:

1.Gigena
2.Kerr
3.Heyes
4.Wells
5.Spencer
6.Lewis
7.Reffell (vc)
8.Boladau

9.White (c)
10.Hardwick

11.Holmes
12.Eastmond
13.Taute
14.Olowofela
15.Worth

16.Polota-Nau
17.Bateman
18.Cole
19.Jordan
20.Coghlan
21.Simmons
22.Costelow
23.Steward

As said in a previous post I think getting Hardwick game time with 12.Eastmond/Reid 13.Taute is important before Lenny, Ford and Manu are away with Englannd again. I really hope Hardwick is at 10 rather than Reid. I rate Reid highly and think he has grown into the side with Ford back at 10 but Hardwick and Costelow are brilliant talents to bring through, whereas Reid is best at 12.

Like most French club sides Pau have a big pack so experience in the bench forwards would be good in the second half.

I’d be very surprised if Hughes and Bradley don’t get second runs out, also if Manu is fit I’d fully expect him to be on the bench at least

I saw Dimen training, so maybe he will be benched instead of Cole?

Very relieved to get confirmation that Eurostar and TGV running over the week-end as was worried that our trip would have to be cancelled.
Does anyone know best place to meet up to get some good nosh and drinks ?

Considering the knock to Leatigaga it would seem prudent to give either Dimen or Cortes some game time if we know that Cole will be away.

I have it as part of my standard BT Sport package (in England) so I’m guessing it must be. Channel 423 on Sky, just checked and it works fine without additional subscription. The match is definitely scheduled to be shown on here.

Like last week it’s not listed as being shown on the EPC Rugby website at this stage, but it was only listed the morning of the match last time so it may well be available online if you don’t have the BT Sport ESPN Channel.
