Is he any good?
Such a shame that Danty is out. We could have had a partnership at the centre called Danty Frisch

"Tous les noirs" means "all the blacks". That would be too many, even for France.

I think it should be "Les Tout Noirs". You can individualize and say un Tout Noir and not un Tous Noir.

Regardless of how poor England were that must be the most controlled, disciplined performance I have ever seen from Fiji :thumbup: There is no doubt having the Fijian Drua in SR is at last allowing them to build combinations and cohesion as a team. Great win Fiji 🇫🇯 How many of the Fijian team play...

Shit news for French fans. As an All Black fan, this should be good news for me as it will weaken the tournament favourites France. But I'm not happy, I wish the French all the best at this tournament and if the AB's do win I want us to be able to beat the best players available. Anyway, I think in...

La Rochelle pack is so strong, very few teams are able to dominate Leinster the way they did in the second half.

Watch the last angle of the replay. Around 8:46 onward. He has the ball in hand (he controls it), grounds it short of the line, the ball rolls under his forearm (he loses control) and with momentum the ball stuck under his forearm goes over the line. No try. https://youtu.be/wSsjEEZbWT8 How many ti...

If Toulouse got the rub of the green with that one single call then Ulster can offset that against the shit-ton of 50-50s that became 70-30s in their favour for the other 79 minutes. Nonsense. Ulster should have had two red cards with 15 minutes still to play. We all saw it. Indeed, I still wonder ...

Love it that small players still have a place in the game. That was ankle breaking The Italy Full Back is a top top player. Born in France, french and plays for Grenoble in Pro D2. next year in Toulouse... He has an Italian grand-father. A few years ago Italy U20 played in Grenoble and he met Italy...

Wales managing to do everything to not win this. Our attacking shape is f**king dismal. So many times in that last 15min we just seemed happy to chuck it into the backs and wait for someone to break a 1-on-1 tackle. That's not a sustainable gameplan. Against England in the last 30 minutes Wales tea...

Hi guys, happy new year to all. First time of the year I open this thread. I didn't watch any Rugby last weekend, anything worth to watch?

DonBillydeParis

Watching the Bleues consistently building up their third victory in a raw versus the Black Ferns. About though to switch off the TV and go to St Denis for the Big One tonight.

Have a great evening you all!

Both Vakatawa and Atonio are out for the Autumn Tests.

Anyway, I'll attend that Test in Saint Denis, if any of you are there too we could have some beers before and/or after the match.

And the Bordeaux Racing game has to be the lowest quality QF ever

The draw is known:
SF1: La Rochelle - Leinster
SF2: Toulouse - Bordeaux

The most likely final is Leinster - Toulouse.

TheFrog wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 3:57 pm With Bordeaux beating Racing, one of the finalist will be a first time finalist.

Are you sure? The most likely final is Leinster - Toulouse the two sides with the most titles and which have respectively reached 12 and 13 times SF stage.

France needs to win with BP and at least by 21 points if they score only 4 tries, with BP and at least 20 points if they score at least 5 tries.

Let’s not kid ourselves, the French pack is bang average, you take Dupont out of that team and they are as bad as any other French team of the last decade. Dupont is incredible. Indeed but he was not there these last 10 minutes, it was Serin and this was an excellent decision by the staff. Dupond w...

I guess that if France - Scotland is eventually cancelled TV rights will decrease and this would be pretty bad news for the Unions. I suspect this is why this test match has not been simply cancelled.
