Great to have the summer internationals coming up.
One of best things about a Saturday morning when you can throw on some top class rugby at 8 am in the morning.

This is an absolute beating here for Bordeaux.
Masterclass from Toulouse DuPont and Ntamack are different gravy

Absolutely sensational
Bordeaux a bit too lightweight when it came down to itā¦donāt think racing or la Rochelle would have copped the same hidingā¦
Probably have to mark Leinster up a few notches the fact they ran them as close as they did

Why have they improved so much this season? Munster should have finished them off in 22. Leinster hammered them in 22 and 23.
All three games you mentioned were in Aviva probably always going to be worse away from home in their natureā¦but Dupont has gone up a level this season which probably seemed impossible 12 months ago but he is definitely still improvingā¦and ntmack is still only 25 and still improving too
They were french champions last year in fairness beat a v good team to win it
France wouldāve won the world cup with the two boys fit and firing
In one of the games, were they not only after arriving back from SA in dribs and drabs over 72 hours via several countries?
Not for champions cup they dont back quarters into semi finals I donāt think
They did get a hiding from Leinster in the Aviva after being taken to ET and pens by Munster the previous week alright and they were out on their feet
Iām sure there was one game in which one of the french sides had a hellish journey back from SA straight into a knockout match against possibly Munster but I may be going full biden.
Iāve flown long haul a fair bit and for some bizarre reason the SA flight seems particularly arduous. The plane is always rammed and you canāt sleep.
ā¦checked the run into munster game there wasnāt that even though it was a tough few weeks for them alright
Was it la Rochelle this year you are talking about? They did actually play quarters and semis two weeks in a row this year coz of losing rwc weekends
Heās talking about La Rochelle v Leinster this year
This is a thing of absolute beauty

I might get the sky sports day pass for this weekend. Normally I wouldnāt be bothered but with the amount of games and the fact that the Irish game could be brutal it should be worth the few bob.
