His knees have now said enough is enough. So his table crust has turned to dust. It's a sad day when a player has to retire at 28.

Toulouse are putting on special coaches for the day for supporters

I was concerned today...heavy pitch and Keighley doing very well, and losing Pélissier so early...didn't bode well. They are stretched with a small squad and having to have some youngsters step up. They will have to bring in Guillon to cover, but that's no bad thing, getting some new young French lads playing is a step in the right direction. Sylvain is a great guy, I fear he won't be around too much longer. He has a farm to run and a great family so I think if they don't make SL again this year then TO will be looking for a new head coach.

Do you know if that student concessions stretch to French students or do they have to be UK students? Ive got 2 tickets already but need another 3. I can get a concession for 1 son as he is serving military, but was hoping t'other son could get a student concession -

I have no agenda, I only wanted to comment on one part of your post, I wasn't doing it out of disrespect. I don't need to address everything on a point by point basis or do I. Please confirm. Oh, and to now address your point about the independent review, I understand that. In this case the decision was made on the evidence on one player

There was contact, but there were 3 in the tackle. He doesn't deny the tackle, just the definition of "attacking the testicles" as that implies predetermined intent. You could argue that every tackle has the "intent" to cause serious harm and thus, after review, a long ban. If you allow the players to define the levels of intent then you are placing the reviewers and independent panels in a difficult position.

Belmas always said that there was no intent. Belmas maybe a tough mother on the pitch but he is absolutely convinced that there was nothing in this and was very shocked and upset by the result of the inquiry. The match review panel reviewed the incident and saw no evidence. Holmes demanded further action. An independent review committee also saw no evidence or intent. Both players were interviewed, and the review committee sided with Holmes that Belmas was guilty, hence the 7 match ban and this statement. This sets a dangerous precedent if it's just a players word that can get someone banned for 7 matches. I can guarantee that this won't be the last such incident like this.

Springer has always had talent, he's just too fragile -

Pezet has been pretty good. Pélissier always shines, for 20 minutes at least. Jussaume is solid enough but not outstanding, Marcon too.
