Big effort from the Toulon hooker and must be the highest from a Frenchman since Thierry Dusatoir’s 37 tackle count vs the ABs in 2007?

In terms of total performance Rhys Patchell was more complete and I have a huge blind spot for Ford who I would normally elevate to god like status so….

Your attacking organisation is hardly sublime if you failed to unpick the lock once. That drop goal was fantastic, but it definitely put the blinders on a few people’s interpretations of his performance…
