I certainly wouldn’t bet on it, but recent history would tend ti agree with my original quip.

(When I made my initial joke, I actually hadn’t quite really realised just how close they’ve come or how regularly)

Whoever is in the final against them, probably…

Benetton could, but Castres at home have a tendency to be annoying as fuck to beat, and I’d be surprised no matter how well the former appear to be doing in the UrC.

Clermont winning away also wouldn’t be the biggest surprise ever, but I’d still not be putting money on them.

IMO, it’s Home wins all the way down, with the possible exception of LAR.

Or the classic narrow pass on the approach to a red light where I’m simply going to filter past away.

They did similar round here. Now people park on the road and, as a result people drive their cars on the pavement. Would be nice if they actually slowed down while doing so, mind.

france are pish. That is all.

Don't even know who the next in line is at fly half. Given recent selections probably Ramos.

I dont't even know who is next in line at full...

one thing i will say about /that/ decision is that i was screaming for the ball being held up in the immediately preceeding play. Not had time to find the replay yet.

There's been enough ink spilled on the onvious talking points yesterday, but away from that apparently Aldritt's injury was relativly minor - some stitches but no muscle/tendon/bones damaged, and he attended the post-match presser.

I saw the way he'd been pulled over the ruck, and the blood and what looked like bruising on his knee, and was worried that was season over for him, or worse.

Wild. Saw the headline and read it as NRL and figured it made sense, since not everyone can go to the top 14. Should be a fun year away for him.

 

apologies for the link in french, but dupont will join the French 7s squad in January to prepare for a possible appearance at rhe olympics.

Last time i saw this being discussed, the consensus was that that would neab no six nations.

 

Lucu ahead of Couilloud, which makes sense as he and Jellybear play together at club level. LBB gets a start with the “premium” team which could be interesting.

Alldritt back at 8, Jelonch ahead of Cros. Ollivon will captain, which make sense as he had the role before his lengthy lay off due to injury.

Other than that, all as expected, I think.

Le XV de la France face à l'Italie : 15. Ramos ; 14. Penaud, 13. Fickou, 12. Danty, 11. Bielle-Biarrey ; 10. Jalibert, 9. Lucu ; 7. Ollivon (cap.), 8. Alldritt, 6. Jelonch ; 5. Flament, 4. Woki ; 3. Atonio, 2. Mauvaka, 1. Baille.

Les remplaçants : 16. Bourgarit, 17. Wardi, 18. Aldegheri, 19. Taofifenua, 20. Cros, 21. Couilloud, 22. Moefana, 23. Jaminet
