Disgraceful talk about a proper legend, unlike that kunt BOD. I hate people being savagely punished for telling the truth, I have no doubt the whistle blowing blindbastard deserved every word ROG awarded him.

IN these cases I'm reminded of the wise words - well, I say wise words, maybe not in rugby - of my tiny little brown hero Mahatma Gandhi when he said:
“Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.”
G'wan ROG.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

In fairness Baggy he is just getting a few weeks ban in a sport and a fine. He is not going to be sent to a re-education camp so he can learn to not question the oppressive forces of the state. I know we like to over-dramatise everything these days but really...

Current standings with 5 rounds to go:

1 Montpellier 66
2 Racing 92 62
3 Toulouse 61
4 Toulon 58
5 Pau 56
6 La Rochelle 56

7 Lyon 56
8 Castres 56
9 Clermont Auvergne 45
10 Bordeaux Bègles 43
11 Agen 32
12 Stade Français 32

13 Oyonnax 30
14 Brive 27

Tight race between 4th and 8th to make the Top 6 (Heineken Cup next season and the end of season playoffs).

Stade Francais in real danger of being relegated. Oyonnax were dead and buried, but have won 4 in a row to give themselves a chance of staying. 13th in T14 goes into a relegation PO with 14th going straight down.

Clermont will be focusing on the Heineken Cup for the rest of the season.

I'm glad that Toulon won so well this week because next weekend will be pretty tough for them.

Toulon weren't looking even a little fragile. Clermont looked bewildered. As long as Saracens are eliminated I will be happy. I don't mind which team does it. Not sure Leinster have enough in the tank to do it?

Lyon knocked out Chris Ashton’s Toulon last night in Toulon. Was 19-19, but Lyon won on try count after extra time.

Lyon will now play Ruan Pienaar’s Montpellier on Friday night in the semi final (8pm KO, Sky Sports Mix Ch 121 and TV5Monde Ch 717).

The barrage reaches the semi final stage this week (KO Times - UK Time):

Saturday 26th 3:45pm Racing 92 (2) v Castres (6) Same TV Channels as Friday's game.

Both games being played in Lyon which was announced some time ago, so it means Lyon have home advantage v Montpellier!
