audois Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Wasn’t sure what to expect yesterday at Stade Albert Domec, Visitors Villeneuve leaked half a century of points week before against Albi on the same pitch. The Tarn side are chasing USV possibly for the last two play-off spots with four games left to play after this one. Against the competitions new leader expected the worst. After quarter of an hour thought wouldn’t be worth it as the Canaris helped them to two converted tries with ease. Rinaldi’s side didn’t look up for it physically Too many light weight players. Early on here and Magic Weekends no show reflect poorly on Elite 1 depth I thought. Fortunately USV pulled themselves together inspired by halves Godinet and skipper Villegas, It took Carcassonne a good 40 minutes to find the whitewash again,12-12 at the break with the hosts next scores being three penalties. The leaders rapped it up late 30-16 with two further tries with USV claiming their third from lively wing Ugaia – a hat-trick. Other scores… Lezignan 36-10 St Esteve Avignon 22-16 Toulouse Broncos St Gaudens 26-36 Limoux Palau 36-42 Albi * in added time "It involves matters much greater than drafting the new rules...the original and existing games have their own powerful appeal to their players and public and have the sentiments which history inspires" - Harold 'Jersey' Flegg 1933 "Just as we had been Cathars, we were treizistes, men apart." - Jean Roque, Calendrier-revue du Racing-Club Albigeois, 1958-1959 Si tu( Remi Casty) devais envoyer un fax au Président Guasch?

audois Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Yes. They're much improved this year. Would take some time to reach St Esteve level (Dragons reserves). Latter falling off the pace a bit as players like Da Costa and Lucas Albert receive SL call-ups.

Big Nicolas Faure who played with the first team when TO were previously in the Championship is back playing and adds steel and experience to the kids. Old hand Kane Bentley is still directing traffic as more and more of the kids get into the first team. Young Jussaume looks the real deal. Albi scraping through in another high-scoring encounter with Carcassonne next up at the Mazicou this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did indeed Gordon, here are the teams : Toulouse Spacers: Murphy; Lima, Couturier, Estebanez, Olieu; Mulhall, Wynne; Fauré, Gay, Gallagher, Delpoux, Raguin, Robinson. Subs: Viala, Vincent, Prizzon, Almuzara. Widnes Vikings: Hulse; Manu, Connolly, Hughes, Emilio; Craigie, Myler; O'Connor, Millard, O'Neill, Cassidy, Whittaker, Frame. Subs: Mills, Smith, Johnson, Holmes. He scored one of the tries in the 40 - 24 victory. Toulouse born Seb Raguin of course before his Catalan days and Damien Couturier, was he the kicker in that side ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you say is the biggest match in Elite 1? By that I mean the equivalent of Sts v Wigan for example rather than a specific competition.
