So, fresh from tearing Toulouse a new one, will La Rochelle be fearing a backlash from a wounded Ulster?

Have got as far as Paris.

The trains to La Rochelle leave from Montparnasse.

Our hotel is just around the corner on a street with restaurants specialising in pancakes from Brittany and Normandy.

I was going to nip out for one until I remembered you shouldn’t crêpe on your own doorstep.

Thanks for not posting the tv details. It might be the first time that nobody asked the question.

Hopefully they send the kids so to speak to La Rochelle and focus on the Sale and Stormers games.

Even if Ulster were playing well and at full strength, it's a low percentage chance of victory.

Weather it seems will be wet and windy for the game.

Could be windy in my hotel room after the massive bowl of cassoulet I’ve just eaten.

Clearly a rotated team. Warwick covering TH. Madigan in out of nowhere. I'd probably have left Hendo at home too tbh.

I don't know who Harry Sheridan is.

Could get ugly.

The weather forecast is as it was here yesterday.
I hope the buggers don't try to postpone it to the Sunday!
