European Club Rugby

It's over. Not sure the most-deserving team won, but it was a good game to watch.

Full time score:

Spoiler

Toulouse 29 - 26 La Rochelle

Hiding that for who still wants to watch the game.

Marcos Kremer won't play for the Pumas during the Rugby Championship. He has received a 5-week suspension for this dangerous stupidity. Well-deserved.

[Stargazer]

Jonathan Ruru has a new club: Oyonnax. The club will return to the Top 14, next season, after winning the Pro D2 this year.

All.Rugby reports that Geoff Cridge and Jason Robertson are both leaving Bayonne, without saying where they are going. Could be useful Super squaddies if your team needs a Lock or a 10/15.

[Higgins]

We must be just about due for another post from @jauzy019 to let us know all the transfer rumours he has uncovered. They generally turn out to be 100% correct.

[Stargazer]

@Higgins I wouldn't mind getting Geoff Cridge back in black and white.

@MiketheSnow

Though I find him underwhelming as a player (and Priestland - is it something to do with being a Rhys?), good luck to him. It will be interesting to see if this move improves his game.

@Machpants that's got to be straight from EA.

According to All.Rugby 31 year old former NZ 7's player George Tilsley, who has played for a few clubs in France since 2015, has had his just signed Stade Toulousain contract torn up, after he was convicted of domestic violence.

@Daffy-Jaffy said in NH club rugby:

George Tilsley

Yep, he signed a short-term "joker Coupe du Monde" contract with Toulouse in July after 4 seasons with Perpignan. Convicted of domestic violence and a suspended prison sentence of 6 months for a probationary period of 2 years. I wonder whether he gets kicked out of France now, too.

Condamné pour violences conjugales, George Tilsley ne portera pas les couleurs du Stade Toulousain

Le président du Stade Toulousain Didier Lacroix a profité de la conférence de presse de rentrée, ce mercredi, pour dire que l'ailier néo-zélandais George Tilsley, recruté comme joker Coupe du monde et condamné depuis pour violences sur sa concubine, ne porterait pas les couleurs du club rouge et...

Well, maybe Scott Barrett isn't the dumbest player out there ...

[sparky]

@Tim If there is any good news to take out Friday night for the ABs, it is this. In a game where almost everything else fell apart under big Springbok pressure, at least the AB tackle technique remained sound.
