I think players from Toulouse and Castres who were put out in the qf stage were added to the squad. No players from the teams in the semi finals.

Can call up the Montpellier and Clermont players for the 2nd test next week - obviously no Toulon or Racing players due to the final.

Ban france from internationals until they get their clubs under control

So your solution is to devalue international rugby further?

What about they just stick an extra 3 weeks into each year?

I'm not sure physics allows for that

So perhaps we need something a little less radical.

Argentina won 30-19. Was a 1 pt game Arg pulled away in last 20 mins. Not bad for a French side missing Racing, Clermont, Montpellier and Toulon players v an Argentina team - 90% of which have been playing for the Jaguares in Super Rugby.

14 men Racing only losing 14-12 to Toulon at HT. The Camp Nou looks very impressive, record crowd for a club game I believe.

Machenaud's red was correct "by the book" as it was a tip tackle with giteau landing on his head, ref could have shown a bit of flexibility and gave a yellow - but its the same ref who sent off cj.

99,124 announced as the crowd. Racing 21-14 up just over 20 mins to go. Toulon down to 14 at the minute.
