Backed Castres and Brive to win away only to ruin my trebble for failing to beat the Toulouse handicap - they even took their half backs off early!Neill_M wrote: ↑Mon Jun 06, 2022 10:14 am Brive stayed up after winning 33-17 at Stade Francais. Olding started at 10, didn't score any points.
Biarritz relegated to Pro D2, Bayonne promoted back to Top 14. Perpignan v Mont-de-Marsan in the playoff for the final spot in 22/23 Top 14.
Castres finished top seeds and will play Toulouse/La Rochelle in the playoffs. Montpellier were second seeds and will play Bordeaux/Racing 92.

Re: Top 14 Rugby
I think +42 was exactly what they needed in the end for the home barrage, but with the beauty of simultaneous kickoffs, not even the bookies would have known that.
Re: Top 14 Rugby
Castres 24-18 Toulouse in 1st Semi Final tonight.
Was like old skool French rugby v modern French rugby. Old skool won.

Re: Top 14 Rugby
Pretty poor show again this year.
Re: Top 14 Rugby
Handling poor.
Set pieces poor (CO's worse than poor)
Kicking from hand poor.
Place kicking poor.

Re: Top 14 Rugby
One way traffic in final, Montpellier 23-3 up. Don't think Castres actually left the changing room in that 1st half.
Re: Top 14 Rugby
Defence is good. I suppose, but both sides are happy to make the tackle and regroup. Very few rucks.
Re: Top 14 Rugby
Very one sided final, 1st ever Bouclier de Brennus for Montpellier.
Re: Top 14 Rugby
Went mammaries up at Brive at the weekend.
A thrashing by Toulouse, a couple of wayward passes from Olding and Davidson sacked.

Re: Top 14 Rugby
Beat 7-45, the 47-0 defeat at Toulon the week before didn't help. 2 wins from 7 in 12th place.
La Rochelle beat Toulon 32-5 at the weekend and are 2nd.
Re: Top 14 Rugby
Dan Biggar has joined Toulon for rest of season from Saints (his contract there is up in the Summer).
