Knockout Rugby and Knock Off Shirts

Um, Round 25 in the Top 14 has, even if there are a few results that went, uh, went the way as expected, one thing it has definitely done, I think it's fair to say, is make for a very, very interesting last round to come.

A, a lot to play for, a lot on a bit of a knife edge.

Um, what are your, what are your headlines?

It's, it's, uh, it's shaken things up.

I was absolutely convinced at, like, that I knew how the top six was gonna finish.

I was absolutely convinced, and now that looks kind of shot to pieces because of the big, the, the big shakeup is Racing 92 turning over, turning over Clermont, even though I predicted it.

I was seven from seven this week, I think.

Very good.

Technically full house because I technically from last week had the Pro D2 ones as well sorted, but yeah.

What, what had you seen in Racing before that had, uh, inspired you there? 'Cause they haven't lost many at home, have they, Clermont?

I don't, I genuinely don't know.

I had a, a gut feeling-

Very good

... yeah, that, that they might pull something out of the bag.

I thought they were quite good against Toulon, was it, before.

Yeah.

But yeah, they've ...

That was ...

I mean, that was, that's the big shakeup, isn't it? Like, the Racing have catapulted up into fifth I think, having been eighth going into the weekend, or possibly seventh.

Yeah.

Clermont possibly let it slip a little bit.
