Heineken Cup 2007/2008

You sure about that. Their front three may as well wear roller skates for all the go forward they have in the scrum. Beat them up front and they're fucked, as the Lantern Jawed Rose Orcs so recently demonstrated.


'Cept of course France now have the shittest scrummaging pack in the top tier of the NH.

As you were

Add to that the fact that the Top14 semis and final will be taking place during the tour, meaning that no players form the top 4 clubs will be there. THe squad will likely be taken from Biarrtiz, Castres, Montauban, Montpellier and Bayonne.

you reckon ASM will win it?

The Top14? Unless they choke, yes. Stade are poor, Toulouse have been playing one game every 4 days (or something ridiculous like that) and are paying the price of chasing the Heineken cup and the Brennus. Perpignan are likely to finish 4th, not seen much of them this season but I doubt they will beat ASm in the semis.

i wouldnt mind seeing ASM v Toulouse
both formidable teams

having seen munster against both of them
ASM were by far the better side
hungrier

i think the first 20mins against us summed up toulouse- for all their pressure they were happy to take a drop goal

clermont were try hungry and more determined
gutted we could be in the same group again next year
dont like being beaten by a team seeded 3rd

Just saw this. Isn't the point about games against the Barbarians that you just don't kick pens? Just an excuse to play flash rugby* without having to worry about the result, no? Exhibition match I think is the term I'm looking for.

*Or at least try in the case of the Irish

Er, we only kicked one penalty at goal and ran in plenty of flash tries. We even ran out of our own 22!
