Great try by Northampton. Pollack
Whisht, could be a striked off
Hope us Begles can hold out
Come on the Frenchies and the mills
He was absolutely heartbroken when Northampton bate them.
Two winning teams in my eyes. Congrats to all us Bordeaux backers.

Iād say this Pollock chap has the makings of an unmerciful English rugby cunt.
Northampton director of rugby Phil Dowson accused Bordeaux-Beglesā players of being āout of orderā after Henry Pollock appeared to be grabbed around the neck on the final whistle of Saintsā Champions Cup final defeat on Saturday.
āThere was a fracas at the end, there was foul play involved,ā Dowson said.
āHenry Pollock was particularly upset by it because I think it was uncalled for and out of order. He reacted, and the officials have told me that they will deal with it.ā
Pollock, 20, was confronted by Bordeaux prop Jefferson Poirot after an argument with fly-half Mathieu Jalibert following the French sideās 28-20 victory in Cardiff.
āI told him that he didnāt know our club,ā said Jalibert. "They said some things in the press which we didnāt really appreciate.
"They said that we were a club of mercenaries who are here for the money. I just told him that he doesnāt know our history, where we came from and that he must respect all clubs.
āI know it is their way of preparing for matches, but they must have respect too.ā
A behind-the-scenes film of Northamptonās semi-final win over Leinster showed how Saints used their homegrown togetherness as motivation to beat their more-fancied opponents.
Saints fly-half Fin Smith insisted that his England team-mate - who has caught the eye with a series of outstanding displays in a remarkable breakthrough season - was the innocent party.
āThey were after him. I donāt think they liked him,ā said Smith.
"They all sort of charged at him and were trying to get hold of him.
āI am surprised if you have just won a European Cup, the first thing you want to do is start a fight with a 20-year-old. I felt that was interesting. He will be alright.ā
Clubs can refer incidents to the citing commissioner within 24 hours of a match if they believe a red card offence has occurred.
