The Sens and Ducks will have something to live up to after I saw the semi final of the French rugby league - Super 14 - today. It was Toulouse-Clermont, and the home team took the lead by half time. But a great run for a try by one of the Clermont players got them close early in the second half.
Then they went ahead on a penalty, and sealed it with a drop kick during play to win 20-15. It was fitting result in the sense that Clermont had two tries while Toulouse never put the ball in the Clermont end; their points were all off penalty kicks.
Toulouse had its chance late in the game with Clermont up 17-15, when they were only a couple of meters from the Clermont end line. However, when playing the ball back from a scrum a Toulouse player pitched it back hitting a team-mate, which led to an open ball that a Clermont player was able to grab and punt down the field.
There were many "oh la la"s by the announcers as they watched the replay of that Toulouse error.
