Dragons in Edinburgh, [url=http://www.sang-et-or.net/readarticle.php?article_id=717previewed[/url. Is anyone bothering?

And TO are back in action against Batley, and here's yer [url=http://www.sang-et-or.net/readarticle.php?article_id=716preview[/url for that

Cheer up JD, we'll belt Cas then roll the Crusaders & all will be forgotten!!!

Reckon I could write the report now and you'd be hard pushed to notice the difference. Unless something bizarre happens and Laurent Frayssinous turns out to be the coaching mastermind that nobody is proclaiming him to be.

I'll drink to that!

I am actually torn between watching the game and the NAC v Twente game on ESPN that will decide the Dutch football championship. Seriously.

Taking advantage of Walters' absence to post here again:
* Disappointing results not too surprising considering the number of youth players we have had to field. Gigot and Vaccari show real promise, as does the option to swing Pelo into the centres for pace.
* We would have done better had Walters rotated the squad last year and given the kids a chance. Every game Perry played was a game we could have played Vaccari/Bartheau et al.
This is a game I would have watched, but RL has dropped to bottom of the pile in my priorities what with the arrival of mini-belgiangoth, so I'm going to a petting zoo instead. I'm sad to hear the die-hard fans getting dis-disillusioned, though I guess I haven't suffered through the last few matches.
Frankly, anything other than a abysmal display will have me calling for LF to replace Walters. Bell out the door at the same time please.
I think the big question we have to ask is why we have not found another French forward to fill in at the front, another Guisset or Ferriol would be nice, but another Gossard should be within the realms of the possible.
Oh, and big fan of Bosc, but has making him captain worked at all for him? I'd say go with Mounis or Bently.

Baile starts at hooker...

Pelo; Bell, Raguin, Sa, Vaccari; Bosc, McGuire; Carlaw, Baile, Guisset; Elima, Mounis; Johnson. Touxagas, Kane, Martins, Casty.

Cas: McGoldrick; Wainwright, Evans, Thompson, Dixon; Chase, Sherwin; Sargent, Hudson, Jackson; Huby, Jones; Westerman. Snitch, Higgins, Holmes, Tuson.

Snowball's chance...

Toulouse won 20-12 last night.

Dragons poor so far.

Not good enough. Sloppy play and McGoldrick has won it for Cas. That play actually makes me angry. I'm fuming

how about KW drafting in a couple of TO13 players to help out until Greenshields & co are out ? Rory B has been outstanding at fullback all season and Martin M has been great when he's been fit,the same with Brendan

Maybe not!

Good players, wrong line-up. Sa at SO, McGuire at Hooker, Baile in the centres - it's even their current preferd playing position! NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.
Oh, and did the BBC get it wrong and claim that LF was Walters, or was he there to direct the shambles he organised.
I'm happy to throw some blame LF's way as well, but that line-up is Walter's ... oooooh am I mad!

He was there

Okay, then cranking up the poop cannon to 11.

Totally separate question, but do we have our contingent of foreign players? Not saying our problem should be solved by signing another waste of space Ozzy, but it seems to me that we have two broken FBs (one of whom counts as a forrigner), Bell, Sa, Carlaw and Johnson. Of the last 4 I don't really see why we have half of them in the squad, I'd swap Bell and Sa for Ryles back. If we couldn't find a world class player, wouldn't the money be better spent on UTC or our academy?
I guess this is a related question in a way, why are we not playing Stacul as FB? I rate Pelo highly, but a FB he isn't, everyone would say that, he's not likely to become a FB. With some game time Stacul could actually develop into a good FB, maybe not a Greenshields or a Walker, but let's be realistic. Bell, Perry, Walters - square pegs the lot of them.

Ryles was awesome for the Roosters on Sunday morning!
