I suppose there must be a valid reason, but how come it was ok for the Quins snowmatch to go ahead, and not this one? I watched a bit of the Quins game and it honestly didn't look safe for the players with the level of snow. Not that this of course, is a consideration these days.

So we were whitewashed in weekends results, someone explain to me why France are supposedly a walkover in the 6N's?
Quote:@Hydor18
Sarries have become a victim of their own success: players are so good they attract international and Lions selection, so they’re constantly knackered or injured.

Ballsout - if you are going to persist in your dismissive mistaken comments, please don't make a fool of yourself as well. Clermont were in no way unfit tonight, anymore than Toulon were over the weekend. Not to mention Bordeaux etc. etc.
Quote:However, Gatland has cited a lack of adequate fitness training at French clubs as one reason that players based on the continent may not be selected.
The head coach said: "We had an experience with Mike Phillips on the weekend (for Wales against New Zealand) where he was blowing after 52 minutes and we had to get him off.
"He was not there, and playing in France you run the risk of not being looked after in terms of our standards and expectations.
"They have a different philosophy out there. They are quality players, but the preparation and approach is different.
"If they do fitness it's normally with one fitness guy who puts a programme up on a wall and the players are not monitored as keenly as clubs in the UK and Ireland probably do, and that is what players have to look at.
"Are they physically in the best shape to compete at the highest level even though they may be playing quite well in France?"
"We’re thinking about sending one of our trainers to France to do extra work with them."

Seems only 1000 turned up when all 10000 tickets sold for the Sunday. Can't think of any other English club where so many supporters would have not managed to get there even if it was a Monday night.
