No idea. There can’t be that much of a fixture pile-up, they’ve 3 less teams to play this season
I wonder if it’s a contracts-management thing, like the big players are on appearance-related bonuses?
Either way, I just watched the full match replay of an absolutely batshit game in the Top14 between Clermont and UBB. The whole game is worth a rewatch if it can be found, otherwise, highlights below:
Ah - I didn’t actually watch it…..I’d literally just watched the full 80 mins on the tele
What do you think about Snyman? Pleased to have him off the wage bill and clear the path for Edogbo?
10 games in 3 years and then joins Leinster is like tevez on steroids in terms of back stabbing, I genuinely wish him nothing but injuries. Edogbo looks the real deal, the few games he had last season you could see his physicality, but this season his technique came to the forefront, hopefully he comes back stronger from the injury but you never know with the ankle.
It got a lot worse today
Yep, missed some of the 1st what happened to jager, he was stretchered off, o donoghue looked bad held his knee immediately
Ralston blew out O'Donoghue's knee with a clear out. Hyperextended it. I don't think it was entirely deliberate but it was gruesome.
Wow didn’t know it was so few, that’s grim. Any idea what his contract was?
Yea it was pretty bad alright, the way the leg went reminded me of how leavy’s career was ended hopefully it’s not that bad.
Well he was brought in during the South African era at Munster so pretty big I’d say, the only reason he had to leave was klyne is now SA again and you can’t have multiple foreign players at a position, it’s strange though going to Leinster with the emergence of big Joe McCarthy.
. Unless I just made up that entire thing in my head/from a dream 
Probably not the worst thing to happen to us, forces them to look for other options which will benefit us in the long run, it's something we've been terrible at after world cups
Just seen it announced on the telly at HT.
I met him in the small town of Whangarei in NZ when I was a kid, he was with the 1971 British lions team touring. My Mum was working at a jewellery store in town and rang dad to let him know the Lions team were in the shop. Dad grabbed my sister and I and we raced into the shop where I got about a dozen Lions Autographs. I remember JPR so clearly because I was in awe of his monster sideburns and long hair. Im pretty sure that Lions team was the most popular one to ever visit NZ because of how they played their rugby. He was brilliant, sad to hear he has passed.
Yes, that try by Nash out of nowhere
Massive moment, absolutely pissed on Toulon’s chips. Been a really good watch, refs let play go a lot (though he’s been too lenient on the offside line)
I'd throw in the Toulon lineout as well and that's saying something when ours has been shocking all season.Jaminet’s been Munsters best player
Yeah shoutout to Hodnett, he was outstanding….I imagine he’s a cnut to play against
I haven't seen as much as a YouTube video from this guy but I'd guess his only chance at making an NFL roster is as a running back, given his rugby background.
Way too small for that surely
If anything he'd be too big, most running backs are between 5'9 and 6'1.
Ah I meant bulk. I just remember a photo of Bundee Aki beside a bunch of NFL players and he looked tiny by comparison.
He’s deceptively strong as well, I think he’ll be ideal for it. Good luck to him
*attempting to go to the NFL. He’s got a way to go to convince a team to take a chance and then actually get on the field.
Surely he must have had some unofficial discussions with a team(s). Be a hell of a gamble if not, he’d probably get an easy 300k+ offer from a number of union clubs
