"Bad Juju" on Top 14

Posted by Marie on Monday, 21 Apr 2008.

The Stade Toulousain lost to the ASM Clermont 11 to 25.

  • That was plan to be one of those great game and that's what it was. It's interesting for me to see the evolution of that team as they playing now a game a lot like Toulouse, and under your kiwi's fellow Vern Cotter, Clermont shows how pretty of a team they are. For the game, Aurélien Rougerie, was equal to himself. What a "beautiful" player he is, Pierre Mignoni and Brock James also did a very good game. Now the Stade Toulousain, got touch emotionally and mentally as the game was going, and they didn't found the proper way to deal with it, even if I totally understand  : )
  • I started with the name "Bad Juju" and you may wonder what is that ? Well, actually the question, now, is how do we know that there is some "bad Juju" on a team?Well, it's pretty simple. For that case, first, the wind. It really was windy, that remind me the video that Noizy showed us, with Comtepomi who made a transformation and the ball came back, lol. Any how, everybody was kind of thinking, for Clermont, "all right, the wind is with us !!", and for the Stade, "the wind will be with us after, let's do with that", cause it was only going, kind of one way, with sudden strong blow. So we kind of all were thinking that. Half time, Clermont led with 10 to 8. At the moment that the teams came back on the field, everybody got surprised, and I'm serious, but the wind turned to follow the Stade Toulousain and it stopped 10 minutes after the end game lollll. (..it started back 2 hours later ).

I just hope that we didn't get the same "bad Juju" that the Falcons of Newcastle seems to have, cause question of bad weather on games, I think their expert now !!!!!

  •  Other signs of "bad Juju" on a team, after a little more or less, one-minute that the game started, one very important player and element of the Stade Toulousain, Thierry Dussotoir got injured and left the field half conscious.  Than, it was the turn of  an another incredible player Shaun Sowerby, who started to feel real bad, and he left the field with……………. a sunstroke…………in the winter, than the worth came with Vincent Clerc who really badly hurt himself on his knee. He is going onto surgery Wednesday and he'll be out for around 9 months….euh….ouinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn !!!
  • Now on the video, well, you won't see the wind, and I have to do a simple link, that where it is :

Sorry, the RWC is totally over, and I'm really sorry about it, but I just wrote on the wrong section :(
