Rugby Union, France, Top 14.

Hard to know what to make of Castres, lose at home to Montpeiller one week and nearly beat Perpignan away the the next! Bourgoin seem to have gone off the boil of late so'll follow you two on the Castres +7

HT CSBJ 12-0 CO

CSBJ: one try with lucky knockon from the off , 2nd Well worked.

CO: Teulet hit the post, then went under the crossbar , in difficult circumstances it has to be said.
Vosloo was binned, so 10min at 14.

All in all have to say its not over yet, if CO can stop CSBJ scoring in the next 20mins there is a chance we'll make the h/cap.

Its not over till its over, good call lads.

2nd half;
CSBJ came out to defend their lead, CO to play rugby.....
1 oppurtunistic try, another thru a beautiful move out wide.
Boyet missed a penalty 2 mins from time, & that was that.

Bourgoin 12 - 14 Castres

Just spent 10 mins previewing the games and the *à-"_ thing times me out .

Bugger it, I'll do em 'one by one.

[Snodser]

Toulouse v Clermont:

Should be a cracker with full squads on both sides.
Toulouse do have one eye on the H-CUP but Noves will not want to lose at home. I see maybe 2 tries per team with kicking for position or goal very important. A bounce of the ball could decide it. Of ten managers questioned 4 went for ASM , 6 for Toulouse.

Clermont +6

[Snodser]

Albi v Montpelier:

Trinh-Duc back for Montpelier so 2 good squads on the park. A win would do Albi a world of good. M have less pressure being a bit too far from a place in H-Cup and sure to stay up.

Montpelier +6

[Snodser]

Biarritz v Auch:

BO need a 5 pointer in the race for 4th, Auch are relegated and saving themselves for their last few home games and a bit of a party with the fans. Weather is ok,

Biarritz -21

[Snodser]

Brive v Dax:

Dax have injury worries up front so I will not be surprised to see simulated scrums in the 2nd half. Brive are missing a few too but should manage a win. All that in mind,

Dax +10

[Snodser]

Perpignan v Bayonne:

Dourthe on the bench usually means---------- Bayonne on a day trip.
Saving themselves for 2 upcoming home games to ensure they stay up. Suits USAP who are in a race with BO for 4th.
They will aiming for 5 points,

Perpignan -16

[Snodser]

Stade Francais v Montauban:

SF to win. Montauban dreaming (and thats how it will stay) of H-Cup. Will be bucketing down tonight so even though Paris are putting out a good team,

Montauban +18

[Snodser]

Very quickly, 'cos I can here 'em coming to get me.

A teeny acc on all six, I'm off
