Interesting result yesterday from the Top 14, a 19-19 draw between La Rochelle and Bayonne. The result leaves Bayonne in 10th but just 2 points ahead of La Rochelle in 13th with Castres amazingly bottom of the table at this stage.

On Thursday La Rochelle are at home to Exeter in our group, my only real hope for that game is that Exeter don't pick up the 5 points.

Next Saturday I can't see Bayonne being too bothered. I'd make a few changes but I'm probably alone in this but I want to see us giving it our all in these 2 games, clock up 9 points hopefully! and give ourselves a chance of winning the group or at least qualifying as one of the best 2nd place teams.
