Castres Olympique

This weekend, 24th of October.

What match-ups do we have here? Kastad, Rossi, Mopelia.

That's a good match.

Toulon, Poe.

Your squad would be at a level where you would get a result every now and again.

Saints would get a win away at Castes and it's like how have, how have they picked up that?

Mm.

But I do think that gap is getting slightly larger, but I, I, I do still think there will be opportunities for teams.

I think they increasingly do want to go increasingly far in Europe as well as in, as, as well as in France.

They don't want that reputation, you know, that Castres Olympique had.

Oh, they're just interested in the top 14 and we send the kids out in, in, in Europe.

That's not gonna, that's not gonna happen with Pau.

So

another game that was very exciting to watch was Pau against Castres.

Pau is, surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise, is heading the top 14 right now.

Of course, there's going to be another game this evening.

And you were talking about it with, with Francisco just before I joined the call.

Wanna talk about Castres.

We've gotta talk about the, the defeat to the, the Toulouse kidsish.

Um, we've gotta talk about that at some point.

Who knows.

Yeah, I guess the, the other sort of...

Well, not just the other one, the, but the, the kind of sticky start to the season that you mentioned at the top there, that has kind of been called out a bit is, yeah, my boys Castres who, uh, yeah, managed to contrive to lose 7-8, which is, which is a fantastic scoreline.

Um, let, let's, let's give them credit for that.

[laughs] It has.

And, and, and just, just to compare and contrast, I watched, um, I'd, I kind of kept an eye on Newcastle/Leicester, but I was w- I was absolutely engrossed in Castes against Toulouse, which is a, is a big...

They're six and-

And a very low scoring game

Great scoreline

Eight, eight poi- uh, seven points to Castes, eight points to Toulouse.

Perfect.

Tremendous scoreline.
