They will come all guns blazing next week, will probably have marchand back, but will need at least 3 changes to their 23. Placines was carried off, The winger will be banned and the no. 23 had to go off injured so will be dipping to the reserves backs. Not much of an issue if they go for 6/2 split again though. When's the ref announced???
Costing Toulouse two tries must have stuck in his craw a bit.

He’s not done much wrong in his career until now and he’s not got long to get over it.

Agreed. They were very impressive against Clermont.
Imho Genge is a bit of a prat, but he leads them very well.

PNE fan Borthwick could well pick up a trophy or two before he takes over from Eddie.

Making a belated return to the Melting Pot - the barman thought he’d got rid of all the Ulster fans.

Pub O’Clock opposite is worth a couple of pints for future visits.

The veal chop in Le Pyreneen nearby was delicious this evening, although I’ve had better snails. The waiter looked like Dupont. Lovely fella too.

I believe it has dropped the 'De' and is an English bar now.

Hope you had a good trip Justin. I have a lot of time for Toulouse.
Can I come out from behind the sofa yet?

Yes thank you BR.

Toulouse is an excellent place.

The Melting Pot is nicely busy as we sit here now on a Monday night and a pub we could do with in Belfast.

Brive was super quiet but the locals were friendly.

I wasn’t overly keen on Montpellier tbh. Dunno how it worked for the Ulster game as that was just before I came on board. The ground itself was fine and we had a great view from the steep stand behind the goal. The bar area/ fan zone’ was a bit cramped before the game although I did randomly meet bump into a chap I know from Bishop’s Stortford rugby.

Anyway, it was just great to be away again and I trust my fellow travellers enjoyed it and got home safely.

As you can imagine, there’d be no worries about the atmosphere on Saturday if UR would station us all together again and pay for a few drinks!!

Montpellier was an excellent trip. Iirc beer /food zone outside before game and then supporters club type bar for a few hours afterwards.

Then back into place Comedie for a mass game of touch (well it started out as touch)

Been back since - I do like the city.

Didn’t help with it being a Sunday for the game yesterday.

Had some decent charcuterie and Minervois today tbf but it was a chilly day. There was a band on in place Comedie.

Looks like Toulouse and Montpellier will be ten degrees hotter next weekend.

Hopefully the lady from our game will bring over her shellfish and white wine stall!

That's brought back some very hazy memories! I think Jim Nagusa got involved in the mass game at some stage, although thankfully not too physically.

A great trip indeed!

Aye, Jim didn't stray too far away from the champagne bottles. IIRC he was fined for missing training the following day.

Enjoyed Toulouse a few years back (10 years i think) when we got our first competitive win in France at Castres. I used Toulouse as our base for the weekend and Travelled down to Castres on the day. Excellent place to stay with a few good eateries and drinkeries. :stout:

My daughter was in Montpellier a couple of weeks back for the World Figure Skating Championships.

Not quite the same as a messy rugby weekend, but she enjoyed it. :D

She would recommend it as a city to visit, but almost certainly not for the same reasons as you, BR :lol:

Au contraire. I have been there for a family holiday too.
