Official 2015/2016 Top 14 Thread

[Solitude]

The Top 14 is starting tomorrow. I've never really been one to follow Top 14 rugby but with the amount of South Africans playing in it and with Jake White being in the mix I'm thinking of giving it a try.

I'll see if I can edit this post this evening with the schedule.

For those interested we've got a MyGaming Top 14 pool:

I supported LOU until their Top14 demise... now it is only Toulon.

I enjoy T14 and watch most of the Friday night games. Even more interesting now that Jake White has pulled in even more Saffers into the Montpellier side.

I think I'll support Montpellier just because of Jake White. Eh but knowing him the team will probably boring rugby. Still it's like having a South African team in the Top 14.

How many is in the SA training camp? I’m sure the du Plessis brothers will be called into the World Cup squad, and others which signed up this year need to complete their current Currie Cup season. I think it is only CJ van der Linde which is currently available to play…

I have no idea how many are currently there. Still they will get there eventually. And being a Top 14 virgin (ha that can be quoted out of context quite badly!) I have to pick a team. So may as well go with Jake's Montpellier.
