I only caught the second half of the Limoux - Carpentras game on my way back from the airport.
Its good to see the boys from far away playing a disciplined (ish) game and being lead around the pitch superbly by Guigue and Patterson in particular. His passing game was the difference in the 40 minutes that I saw. Game breaker was the sinbinning on 25 minutes for Limoux after a nothing tackle which saw an all in brawl. Harsh from the ref with my black and red glasses on....
Well drilled Carpentras outfit with Limoux looking to get Wagon on the pitch for some inspiration. Clearly missing his influence, and with Murcia appearing to carry a bit too much bide (and so slowing him to timtum pace), and without his old ami Piccolo, they were pedestrian in attack.
Patterson's passing game a class apart. He has little in the legs, but his brain seems to be a pace or two too fast for the defences. Got a lovely pass off both hands which repeatedly put players through the gap.
Having been at Old Trafford last night, I said to my mate that I enjoyed the 40 minutes at les Aiguilles as much as the Wigan Saints game....
Great again to hear about the Montpellier showing.
