Elite 1 Round 8


Recommended Posts


In R4 Avignon well beat at Limoux 46-14 but two weeks later gave Albi run for their money. Should be good today against Lezignan. If they get a win shows their in the run for top 6 and the run-offs come the Spring. The three Aude sides have had domination in recent times. Could SOA, Albi and on coming up on the rails watch out for Pia.

Good to see a televised game again, I'm guessing all the fans were on the tv camera side? It didn't make for the best viewing seeing completely empty grandstands.

There would have been around 100 people camera side, they've no u19s so that takes off around 50 extra people/ spectators. Limoux are expected a decent crowd tomorrow

Pia

Line up today against Toulouse Elite 1 with 2 internationals. A Kiwi in centre Dean Whare and French second rower in Benjamin Jullien. Also former St Esteve Hugo Salaboi forward. Impressive

Next weekend the Catalan derby between the Baby Dracs/Pia . Think the game will be televised live on ViàOccitanie

So far this season, blow-out scores in Elite 1 seem to have been largely avoided.  I find that very encouraging.

Thanks to you, Gomersall, for keeping us up to date on the French scores and, as ever, to Audois and Barnyia for adding the local colour week by week.

Best set of games since some time. Avignon poor in the opening game against Lezignan 0-16 after twenty minutes but after that the home side got stuck in - finished 6 a piece after that. Baby Dracs best effort this term. Seven of the team Saturday  played against Wigan for the Dragons in SL last season. After a slow start new coach Eamon O'Carroll getting them now in shape.

Biggest surprise of the lot in Round 8. Last time I saw them Limoux put 50 points over FCL with their Maloney/Normam in tag. Where did that come from yesterday? Pia still undefeated at home and with their new international players from SL. How will they go now into the new year. Really interesting see how they'll go.

Toulouse ran them close in Salanque yesterday after their first win last weekend. They have 4 bonus points the highest of the competition. I thought Villeneuve would have got  their first win  against St Gaudens at home. One of the other biggest shocks of the year so far is what player/coach Mitch Garbutt has done up below the Pyrenee mountains
