Fair play to Castres. I see Clermont have lost 10 matches in the Top 14. What is about the French and playing away?

They field weakened teams away from home and play their first choice at home... kind of what like Ulster do these days :stir:

Interesting to look at the W (or G) column on the T14 table, not much between the playoffs for the championship and relegation. The bp rule tweaking could make things even tighter.
Can I come out from behind the sofa yet?

Top 14 changing their LBP rule for next season. Have to get within 5 pts rather than 7.

In my mind this is the sole reason we got the BP a couple of years ago against the French at home that saw us through to the quarters
