@pablo_guillen_ @AlexandrePriam Pablo, no injury. He was rested for workload management. Fit.

[James While @jameswhile]

@IanMacGilp Fair. And I’ve no idea what system they’re attempting to play either.

England have the cattle up front to unleash the PREM attacking style and Courtney Lawes elderly legs are a key component of this.

Pick the right pack and the rest will follow

@Goodbob888 Fair. However, part of that is not winning the initial contest. This is why TC key- he’s our Cros.

@Goodbob888 The key to winning elite rugby is to create as few rucks as possible.

France’s player stocks are dropping like flies ahead of the ‘Bitterest Rivalry’ game v #springboks on 13/11.

SA will be kicking their lips, especially at France’s tighthead crisis, and the missing Jalibert & Meafou.

Thoughts here:

@pauleddison Paul, heard MJ hoping to be fit?
Or have I got that wrong?

A disappointing weekend for Prem Rugby
A middling one for the TOP14
A great one for the URC

Enjoy the first round of European Rugby but feel you want to be better prepared for round two in December?

Get your hands on Attacking the Space, the sports book of the summer as chosen by the FT.

@PaulGod70206660 Not many get points over there Paul….but agree, best side for 70 mins

[James While @jameswhile]

Had the pleasure of seeing some incredible performances from my Toulouse beaus, but that was something very special.

Mentally toughness of the highest order and an absolute masterclass of versatility from the great man, Dupont.

I don’t think there’s any 9 in the world that could move to ten and carry a side to a win quite like AD did today.

Phenomenal.

@JLyall93 You were great, big guy!

Bath v Montpellier: Five takeaways as 'self-inflicted' errors strike again whilst visitors' back-row and bench take the Rec apart. #BATvMHR #InvestecChampionsCup
