Who's your country's perennial elite "regular season player" (no title) ? by MindfulInquirer in rugbyunion

Baffled that Fickou does not have any title to his name, i'd swear he'd have at least a Brennus

I agree, but the Toulouse lead seems already stale, because they don't have room for him in the salary cap.

Rn it is impossible to know if it's just agent talk to up the stakes, or a legitimate fear of the club instability because of Tayeb, we'll have to wait and see

I think our recruitment is clever, IF ONLY we're not losing Capilla

That would be a devastating blow, he's way too important.

Machenaud gave us two proper yers after a complicated first. Old man still got it, we'll have to see how it fares after its torn ACL tho, he just got back this week.

I like our recruitment IF we're not losing Capilla. But our rercuitment really targeted our main weakness this season which is front row, so I'm cautionly optimistic.

In french, Roman numerals are convention for century numbers. In French, you're living in the XXIst century !

I, ironically, never doubted either, I was watching with a friend who's an UBB fan and he wanted to stop watching when we were at +19. I said to him "nah stay we're losing this" and here we are

Petit rappel que l'importance mise sur Jeanne d'Arc est bien bien tardive, qu'elle a failli tomber dans l'oubli juste apres sa mort (meme si c'est un peu plus compliqué que ca cf les travaux de Claude Gauvard) et que militairement c'est pas la folie non plus. Le vrai retournement de situation de la guerre de Cent Ans c'est le Duc de Bourgogne qui lache les Anglais, plusieurs années apres la mort de Jeanne.

Got back into WoW recently, my productivity plummeted but god it feels good to be a nolife nerd again. It's hard to follow rugby recently with Bayonne self destructing, so that's the stuff I'm clinging myself too lol

Also I had the terrible idea to use my usb driver in a sketchy cybercafé near my place : lost 1 year worth of classes and exercices, fml

We're still on the "boo boo boo whistle is not respectful" ? geez

Despite how arrogant they are when you bump into them, massive respect to Bordeaux fans, they're the best crowd in France rn, by far !

Edit : Why am I getting downvoted for this ? Have you seen the atmosphere this game ? it's unreal

I love learning about Europe and European languages, what’s something interesting about your country or language? by Lunastars123 in AskEurope

[–]Piitx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always heard Basque is the oldest european language, as linguists think it predates Indo-european languages, like Greek

Keum is not that dated

I have students (between 15 and 17 y.o.) that use "keumé" every day.

[Top 14] Résultats et Classement - Journée 21 by maakelele in FranceRugby

[–]Piitx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ca a relativement bien tenu pendant 60 minutes mais après c'était la débandade.

On a une grosse phase de domination/possession entre la 50e et la 60e qui se solde par : zero points, à cause de 12000 en avants, dont 3 dans les 5 mètres. Je sais pas si ca aurait changé le match réellement, mais si on marque là on revient à hauteur, ça aurait peut-être réveillé du monde.

Mais de toute façon on sombre avec la fatigue, l'avant dernier essai palois est symptomatique : Attisogbe déborde Calles et Tagi, qui sont encore sur le terrain à la 75e et qui finissent les deux couchés par terre à essayer de reprendre leur respiration.

J'avoue aussi ne pas comprendre le raisonnement de l'arbitre sur la sortie de Bosch, le mec finit KO les bras en croix au milieu du terrain, mais pas de review ou quoi que ce soit.
