I don't mind dupont getting narky, it shows he can be rattled. 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.

Resale tickets for some parts of the ground available now. Didn't realise they increased in price, more gouging by ticketmaster? Does the seller get full price? I had it from before that they only got 75% of value.
Bonjour mon ami Jean Valjean - Regarde ci-dessous

It's easy this year :-
Group Stage - we have avenged the snake Gibbes
Last 16 - we'll avenge the thug Brennan
Last 8 - we'll avenge the gloater Zebo
Last 4 - we'll avenge the basket case BOD
Final - we'll avenge Mrs Afoa
Also win the URC and through world domination we'll avenge the bullshi^^er Logan
Gonna be a bad year to be an Ulster hater
If Leicester keep up their current form Leinster will need to be red hot to beat them at Welford Road

Agreed. They were very impressive against Clermont.
Imho Genge is a bit of a prat, but he leads them very well.
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.
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.
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.
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

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

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