While the French national selection fully participated in a historical day at Flaminio Stadium, Rome, Italy, the Top 14 was going on (with the best elements of the French Rugby, of course!)
Ugly scenes marred the Catalans-Basques game (Perpignan - Biarritz), to the amusement of the spectators.
Rémy Martin took a huge hit in the face by Grégory Le Corvec, who is cited for his behaviour. There also was a rugby match. Perpignan won.Stade Français won at home against Agen. Of know : the only try of that game was scored by the Italian hero’s brother, Mauro Bergamasco. It took three crossing of the line until the referee finally granted us a try.
Toulon squashed Bourgoin. Everybody squashes Bourgoin these days.
La Rochelle had a decisive win in their survival plan against Montpellier, who might well be out of the top 6 if they keep on losing easy games.
Biarritz survived a controversial game and scored tries despite visble forward passes that only the referee didn’t see. Pierre Berbizier, Racing’s coach, couldn’t refrain his joy after the game. Hm, sour grapes.
Brive were close to the exploit in Toulouse. But Toulouse win their matches whatever happen, no matter how many of their players are selected. And I dislike their coach, Guy Novès.
Looking at the table, poor Stade Français has nothing to fear but nothing to hope either for this season...
