I thought this thread was about Toulouse struggling! Are they OK now?

All those Whitehaven fans having a go at the young ref yesterday, he did make mistakes, but he disallowed a contentious PJ Lima try for TO. If that stood, Whitehaven would be down...that ref deserves a Whitehaven beer next time he is up there.

Good to see OAB back playing and scoring. They took him off at half time.as he isn't match fit. Dimitri Biscarros got a neck injury early on so they will have to see how he goes, Greg Richards got knocked out early too.

Hamson, Dom and Jake Shorrocks are out for the season, probably Mathieu too. TO fielded the strongest side they could as they might need that same side In the semi finals.

They are turning up with a team, how they do against Whitehaven is anyone's guess, I just hope they don't lose any more players before the semi-final. I will be there. Token french fan gesture of the season.

Yes, once. Against the bottom club Swinton at home, June 2019. Swinton won 20-18.

OAB on the team sheet for Toulouse but he's going to be a bit rusty for this game. TO missing too many players to make it a win I think.

Booked it anyway, looks nice. Not sure I shall be telling Mrs Kiggy about the ghosts. She's only just getting over my skeletons in the cupboard. Just driven up from Stansted, through a monsoon. Good preparation for Saturday in the lakes.

Thank you. Yes, nothing too serious thankfully. Age catches up on us way to fast. As for the match, then I have to apologise to the referee, he made the correct call. I've not had the time to watch the whole match but the highlights were clear. The camera angle was completely different to where we were and it was obvious that Ben stripped and then dropped the ball. He really didn't need to do that considering there were 3 TO players holding up the Fév guy. At 22 he still has a lot to learn ! Onwards to Whitehaven this weekend. TO actually have a team and word has it that OAB could figure in the match. We are making the journey for this one...leaving our 30 degree sunny pool for a 14 degree mizzly Cumbria...really looking forward to it. PS. any Whitehaven fans know anything about Moresby Hall Country House Hotel ? Looks half decent

I will have the opportunity to watch the match again, but if you say so then I will have to apologise. Not today though, medical emergency with Mrs Kiggy at Chateau Kiggy today

They might be trying a new halves combination so might be making a few changes.

Not quite. He wasn't sacked due to not having the vaccine, that was a personal choice. He was caught doing something criminal, and lied to the club and his team mates. It wouldn't have mattered that a few weeks later the rules changed in France to have allowed him to play, the damage was done. The clubs principles overrode his own. No SL club were interested, hence the move to Fév who were willing to pick up his salary requirements.

Yes, obviously as he went to Fév

No surprise but the TO players have been withdrawn. TO will need Robin Brochon over the next 2 games due to the loss of Jake for the rest of the season

2nd try. Fév dropped the ball on the line should have been a TO turn over scrum not a try. Flag waver said it was a Fev knock on, referee disagreed. Not much point harking on about it as the result will stand irrespective of us complaining. Makes no difference to these two teams in the long run.

No problem with a man making mistakes, we're not infallible. I do have a problem with him playing up to the crowd as some sort of pantomime villain. There is no place for that. Stick to trying to be impartial.

Yes, we all know the man's qualities

They were booing Killer. It's the 1st time they've had the chance to let him know what they think of him. Looks like the referee made several mistakes then

Swinton v Whitehaven is a huge match now. Swinton win then Whitehaven need to beat TO next week which, at the moment and how depleted TO are, looks like a good chance.

Thanks for clarification...don't see much point in the flag wavers then. I thought they were there to help the referee make the correct decisions and not make mistakes.

With Barrow losing yesterday, If Swinton do win then Whitehaven will have to beat TO next week, which is the last thing TO need considering how many players they don't have available and really don't want a hard battle last game before the playoffs.

Broken jaw. Missing H, Dom and Jake now. I can't even see TO winning a semi final at the moment.

No. A bit of an embarrassment to be honest. He started smiling and winking at the crowd when he gave penalties against Toulouse. Maybe someone can clarify, but can the referee overrule the linesman and give a try?

Which why? Killer, johno and Chris? or the result?

Killer, Johno and Chris back for the 1st time will be interesting. I wouldn't read too much into the result.
