Servat just cleared all rumors about his "well-being" in Toulouse... And just sent a journalist (Christian Jaurena) from Lequipe packing. :thumbup: :D http://www.wat.tv/embedframe/479149chuPP3r9639061 That's got to hurt. :lol: Aouch. Il a du avoir peur de prendre un coup de boule en plus. :lol: C'e...

He played at #11, and Boyet was FH, according to Rugbyrama.

Thx! Seems more likely...

If we had reliable tackles completed/missed per minutes played and that sort of stats, as PSA has, I'm sure he would be up there.

Game went to shit and is lighting up again :) That last action from USAP looked almost all blackish! offsides and blocking ? with forward pass on top ? ;) decent game by Agen not convinced by USAP (they should be out of sight) :lol: I meant the combination with the scrumhalf and the fast execution :P

From the midol's piece on JIFF: Nakaitaci declined a Fiji call and will qualify for France in June.

WTF?

Him and Tulou, could be good poaches!

From the same article, Wakatawa will also qualify in June. I don't think I've seen him play, is he Bleu material?

I've never ever heard of a player who plays with an older group because he would break kids at younger level. This looks like a joke transformed into a rumor...OR maybe their dodgy tackling skills gets them off the field. I played with a guy who got put up an age group due to his size. He was out o...

This is a load of BS... :lol: I've never ever heard of a player who plays with an older group because he would break kids at younger level.

Interesting - I thought there were quite a few Pacific Islander/E.European youngsters in the Academies of the larger clubs like Toulouse? Come over on 4 year Academy contracts at age 17/18 and, Voila come age 22 they'd be qualified by residence - great idea I reckon. I have not heard of such a prog...

The big question is how ST will deal with having 3 good #8: Galan, Maka and Picamoles? Without counting the captain of the youth team who's also #8 (Chateau)... I think the competition may be a bit too strong for at least 1 of them. Jeez: forgot about him. He was excellent for most of the junior co...

I'm guessing ASM is trying to get him in shape before the semis.

When Barcela (and the other prop) were taken off, things...

He played it well and is a very smart man, someone like Aubry would have been incapable of being so hypocrticial and would have openly said her love for moslem migrants, her hate of real France and how much she would have made all of the legal and called for the entire Congo to settle between Paris...

Doesn't Fraser actually leave the club? I was wondering what was UBB's position in regards of the JIFF's regulation? They seem to be signing only foreigners this year again. How do they manage the quotas of JIFFs? Re: Fraser... Yes he does, see my post just above yours. ;) Re: JIFF... I read in Sud...

What a beautiful win for the UBB. I didn't believe in that one at all, especially with their messed up "record" away this season. The match vs. USAP will be a celebration. Hats off to Marc Delpoux, his staff and the president who didn't break the bank and trusted the Pro D2 group with only a few ad...

Doumeyrou lives Montpellier for Stade Français pity That is a blow. Isn't Matadigo on his way out too? Matadigo is off to Racing but Tulou was the starting #8 anyway... Apparently, Doumeyrou wanted a little bit too much money for his age, didn't please Galthié. Speaking of poach, Tulou in Bleu? :P

Otherwise I agree, in general, we have enough talented players to only take exceptional poaches

the dude has played what 4-5 games of top 14?

According to Midol St André preselected 56 players for the end of the year tour in Argentina, with only 28 players being ultimately selected.

Ditto. I can't find anything on the site itself.

ASM academy is the one the article is all about and is on the bottom left of the image.

Can you paste and copy those list into the forum? Difficult, I've got it as an image myself.
