They arrived on Wednesday in Toulouse after a flight in economy class that included four stopovers.
Where were they coming from? They've done extremely well to find that many stopovers when it should only be two from Durban.
The Rand doesn’t go very far these days

@Bones The detailed flight was not revealed by Midi Olympique. Moreover, they had to travel in two different groups of players which did not reach Toulouse at the same time. Yannick Bru, a former Toulouse player and assistant coach who is now within the Sharks staff, said that nobody complained, adding that Saffas are humble people and not overly spoilt stars.

@MiketheSnow the big guy looks like he's usually relied on his size meaning he's never had to actually fight.

I dunno, that slap might have hurt a small child.

Maori Jesus or as French tv calls him En-ga-Thai went well for Leinster yesterday. The number one requirement to best Irish teams is discipline. Which Toulouse lacked in spades.

Leinster took maximum advantage of the YC
You have to wonder what VDF was attempting to affect at that breakdown though
Arguably reckless from VDF charging a trapped opponent with no attempt to bind and drive through the ruck
Penalty against VDF???

@Daffy-Jaffy That's interesting as he spent at least half the season wearing either the number four or five jersey, mostly in partnership with Sam Lousi.

Wasps have had their licence to play in the 2nd tier Championship rescinded and will start next season at the lowest level on the league pyramid.
I don’t see how that can work and I’ll be surprised if it happens.
-
@Catogrande same as London Welsh. Worcester are fucked too, then. There was some deal between them and playing at six ways I think. London Irish next to go down the gurgler

Magnificent final there. Leinster had an absolutely flying start but totally faded at the end. Nice bit of karma seeing Leinster get a YC for repeat fouls in the red zone then a RC for a flying clean out. Hadn’t realised until now that Irish teams are not always angels.

@Billy-Tell superb final ,to come back from 0-17 down playing at the Aviva in Dublin you have got to give it to La Rochelle ,owned much of that 2nd half
Thought Gregory Aldritt was a worthy winner of the man of the match ,
I do wonder with so many Irish players in the Leinster team and with the RWC in France later in the year , if this lose will knock their confidence a tad..?
