After a brilliant victory against Benetton last time out, preparations now turn to France in readiness for the trip to Montpellier who beat Newcastle yesterday. I know we beat them home and away last year but this is a different competition and a different squad and they will want to exact revenge on us. Apart from RMW and possibly Owen Williams we should have a decent squad available to us but I do wonder if Toby rotates for the Boxing Day derby.
Likely Squad
G Thomas N Smith D Lake S Parry T Botha B Warren A Beard J Fender R Davies J Morgan M Morris H Deaves T Davies
L Davies R Lewis O Williams J Walsh M Protheroe O Watkin G North K Giles I Hopkins K Williams

What I don't understand is how a prop gets penalised on 4 seperate occasions and should have been on all others that I could see and not even a warning. IIRC every penalty against him was given by the TJ, why wasn't AB in the refs ear about this especially after the first 2 were given, there was even one when the ref was going to penalise us, but the TJ changed his mind.
What I will say is in that performance I've never been prouder of some of our players, if nothing else you can see they are prepared to put their bodies on the line for us
