It will be ROGs La Rochelle in the build up.
And when we kick their ass.
It will be Jono Gibbes La Rochelle.

It’s so disappointing the way there are no fans in the competition this season it makes the competition 10 times better.

La Rochelle’s power does scare me, they could easily do a Northampton in the first half of 2011 against us. There’s definitely things we can target though and their discipline can be poor. Back three very lively too in ways that hurt us against Exeter.

I think we’ll win but they could easily take our platform away like Sarries did last time out.

At least we'll be under the radar with all the media focus elsewhere

Given our draw, that virtually guarantees no air time for Leinster on the wireless :wink: in the coming week.
Wonder what Franno will have to say, you only have yourselves to blame. :wink:
I feel an attack? (Wondering what the right word to use here is?) of good Karma approaching, maybe a jab of the right stuff even.
Bring it on.

At least the government can’t make us forfeit the match because they won’t let the French into the country without a stay in the crown plaza.

I hadn’t noticed the unusual crest on Toulouse European jersey til today. The explanation for it is pretty good!

That Toulouse space agency jumper is sweet. Would 100% buy it if they had any stock.

Tou Vs BB is pretty awful so far. You'd think Tou's class will pull them through in the end but they're certainly making hard work. Lots of handling errors from both sides.

Cracking match. Jalibert playing better than Ntamack thus far. HT: 8-6.
