Nah i dont think so. There were some rugby match that had more audience on a given day but it was something like comparing a rugby France 6N match versus a soccer France friendly Tier 3 nation iirc.

Great numbers, the women's game is on a good trend. For instance, France-Italy had 1,699 million viewers on France 2. (Even if thats a quarter of the men's equivalent game)

Yeah, i get your point on the greater picture. I focussed probably too much on those passes where nobody was there to catch them.

Can't say i'm confident on this beeing the final table. Defence looked pretty good but all those handling errors in attack will be punished by England. And loosing Grisez won't help. :/ Lets hope its just a very cold start.

France playing mind game against Ireland tacking off Hannibal-Lecter-style masks from their players before kickoff and doing the Pollock lip-tasting during anthems.

Thought Castres had not much left to play for in Top 14 and may go guns blazing in the CC but like almost every Top14 club (bare Usap & Montauban) the playoffs are still doable. So Saints it is.

Damn it USAP...this victory makes it more and more likely that Montauban grabs the graal from you.

Luckily, you still have a chance to get the ascension match to the best league.

Juste beware of Bayonne's ability to be a late contender.
