Indeed it was

Paddock Punter - think I recognise the shoes....

Good to meet you, and hope you had a good trip back.

Sanjunien, missed you at the game. Hope all is well and that you enjoyed the sausages - chocs went down a treat.

As far as the rugby is concerned, least said, soonest mended. Casty, Mounis, Ferriol comme d'hab. Sa had his best game in terms of effort of the season. Hmmm. M Guasch not in the best of humours afterwards.

have to say the sausages were outstanding - I'll definitely popping in after the Giants game for a batch - the leak & pork were totally yumptious

i'm afraid the traffic beat us on saturday

can imagine M.Guasch was fuming,problem is i'm already dreading next season

looking forward to TO13 on saturday - Mrs sanjunien has prepared some goodies for the lads for the post-match festivities
by the way timtum,the B & B at Montauban was brill and the KFC was real gourmet stuff...

yes John D,the quins match was changed to a sunday at short notice - do you share my pessimism for 2011 ?

Mrs Timtum is in town, so I'm afraid I'll miss you for the Halifax and Huddersfield games.

will try and pop my head around the door on my way back up to blighty in early September.

Not sure how either club is going to do a big turn around given the rumours that are abounding (or indeed confirmed) about recruitment. Would love to see Larroyer and Tisseyre given a chance at les Dragons. Mayans sat in the tribunes at Toulouse the other week who surely could have done better at centre for TO. Seb Planas is a lovely lad, but until he gets some coaching / confidence he is a too obvious target down the left hand side.

For the Dragons, a return to the etrangers corrects, profs, is long overdue. Does noone in French rugby think of picking up the phone and making enquiries about individuals who are key appointments to the game over here?

Apologies for stating the obvious, and back into hibernation....

Not overly hopeful at this stage, but it's a long winter and I'll probably start to cheer up when the internationals have finished.
