A team in the South of France? it'll never work.

Whats the point in him taking up an etranger spot if he's not going to play, yes he'll be a definate

Not lost guisset, but what we lacked at times last year was when Guisset and Ryles went off we struggled when Casty and Ferrioll didn't quite play at that level, to split those two up this year is a must for me this year.

Fakir in the front row, he's big and aggressive enough so why not, lets use a bit of his mobility and ability to find the floor on his front. Elima off the bench, Raguin is not a centre, where do you suggest he plays? Johnson is a back-rower, whats the difference between a 13 and a second-rower anyway?
belgianxiii wrote:Bell, WHAT'S THE POINT???
no one else to play there, with the only exxception of Carlaw!
For the Record I'd go with a bench of Carlaw, Elima, Casty and Guisset. If you want to play Elima from the start, Raguin IMO doesn't bring enough from the bench so put Kane there.
That still leaves the likes of Gossard, Touxagas, Andrew and Martins to come in!
