See mac walsh is in there squad,he was excellent in his spell in our academy great strong winger/centre

He was very good when we played them in France a couple of seasons ago

Yeah Ashall-Bott is a huge gap for them - has been out with injury for long periods and they always miss him. Have a fairly good deputy in Robin Brochon but he's not in the squad either. So they've got two options at the back, play Benjamin Laguerre (Mathieu's brother obviously), or move a halfback to fullback and play Marion in the halves. Either way if we play well we'll be fine. Big if!

Why is it even remotely a big if? At what point have we not played well this year? Beaten narrowly just once on a ploughed field. I'd say that if there is a "big if", it's surely whether we play badly?

He's an OK player imho, but he does strangely seem to come to life against us.

Toulouse and Sheffield are our biggest tests since the opening game against Bradford. The Eagles are a mouthwatering clash, with the comps most fancied team, against this years surprise package. If we beat Toulouse we've nullified the threat from the team most expected to challenge us through the season, if we beat Sheffield we've slapped down an upstart - I'd be really happy with that, and frankly I don't care how attractively we do it, just as long as we do.

Yeah I'd agree with all that. Whilst I still don't think we've hit the levels we're capable of yet this season, I also think for any team to beat us they'll need to be at there best for the full 80 minutes and even then we'll be hard to break down.

Totally agree, we've been very patchy but we've scored plenty of points. What we are doing is defending like our lives depended on it.

Over 7k tickets sold for tomorrow evening's game , phenomenal support , this really is a different club these day's .

Is it for tomorrow or is it season tickets as a whole? Either way sounds like it’ll be a cracking attenDance for a home game against a French team!

Its a combination of the season tickets plus the sale of tickets added together (5500 ST + 1500 tickets)

Sure be nice if it was season tickets + 7000.

That said I’d be surprised if there’s 7000 there. Probably expecting around 6k myself

Although we want as many people as possible physically attending the game, the fact that we've sold over 7000 tickets, without and away support is superb, there is no downside.
It's certainly good to be having a game at home, it's been a long time.

Come on Trin !
