Hasn't he played most of his rugby at 7?
Taufua? He is he has. At the Crusaders he and Douglas alternated at 6 and covered 8 when Reid was unavailable. Todd was the openside.
I see no reason why he can't play 7 considering how well he targets the breakdown. I suspect I'm not the only one who'd like to see him and Guy Thompson in tandem creating havoc.

So Castres have beaten Worcester 33-27 meaning they top the group on 23.
With Tigers currently on 22 the minimum requirement is now a LBP or 4T BP.
Castres have a points difference of 56 and we are currently on 93 so we should edge them on this stat I believe if it’s all square, not sure about tries scored.

I imagine Bristol and Toulon will win tomorrow thus securing the top 2 rankings. Bordeaux-Begles are way ahead on PD and will most likely get something on the road against Wasps.
So if I’m not mistaken, pick up a point away to Pau tomorrow and we have a home QF against Castres, leave with nothing and we are away to the same opposition.
If we win and Bordeaux-Begles lose then we will be 3rd seeds and will most likely be home to Edinburgh.
It’s fairly late and I’ve had a few beers so that might be a load of nonsense but think it makes sense!

Long story short we should be facing Castres, Bordeaux or Edinburgh depending on how tomorrow’s results pan out.
No easy games at this stage but a home QF vs Castres has to be the preferred option. Would ideally like to avoid Bordeaux-Begles and Edinburgh if possible

Well we could get a lot of a pasting. We look lacklustre and off the pace. Almost back to the start of the season with no kick chase and poor tackling.
Claim for a no arms tackle from Manu, ref carries on. Pau score their second try but it really did look like their ball carrier was in touch right under the Asst ref's nose when Manu tackled him.
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
