My Form II French teacher would’ve been astonished at my fluency at 3 am this Sunday in some Pigalle dive.
You never had a chance Madame Venter - incentives were all wrong.
Come to think of it, this week is dragging like Friday final period French. She must’ve offended someone at that school, poor lady.

You do wonder if it's a tactic to keep the ball in play. Just a pity they generally keep the ball in play 10m from where they kicked it...

We frequented a good little rugby bar as a base for last weekend: No Scrum No Win, 21 Rue Godot de Mauroy, 75009 Paris, France
It’s in the Opera District, near St Lazare Station and is open until 0200 Thurs-Sat
Worth a look

I’ll check it out next time, sadly the party’s over for me. PM me if you want Smuts’ little black book of Paris dive bars and after hours clubs. It’s not long but since I didn’t get out until after getting the kids in bed it’s handy for drowning your sorrow after the ABs have their souls stolen on Sat.

I'm at a family weekend in Kent for the Final. I have a choice of watching it with Mrs M's children and young grandchildren (neither are really all that into rugby) or slinking back to the hotel and watching it on my own.
I'm taking a half-bottle of Single Malt and opting for the hotel room.

I’ve had 2 epic weekends in a row in Paris, with mates. Some of them are going back, others making a flying trip from NZ. Sat, I’m choosing to park up on my own at home in London and watch it from behind the sofa with some half decent red.

@scribe you can't be changing a winning formula
Maybe. Been to 2 finals where we did ok (11/15). Have also been to a couple of games where we’ve not done so well (99/07). I’m prob due some bad luck, hence not going to Paris. I’m sure there’s some logic there.

What would be freaking hilarious is if we stopped doing that high ball without chasers shit and executed exits with perfection. That would be a right mindfuck.
It's all so weird. It's one thing to hold back a bit and play conservatively. Powder dry etc etc. But this team has struggled to get even the fundamentals right. Just look at the game against France. Yet now the skill level, accuracy and execution are off the chart. It's like a switch was flicked. How does that even happen? If this truly was Foster's grand plan then I will personally place a bucket of KFC at his doorstep, write humble on a pie and eat it.
What I’ve been thinking , the way our lineout is functioning, kicking it out may actually be a good thing
