Top 14 refs seem to be the most desperate to find any excuse to mitigate a sanction down from a red card and yet FFR are still one of the strongest voices against the 20-minute red.

With Thomas and now Latu, what we seem to have ended up with recently in the Top 14 is the 10-minute red card - players getting a ban but back on the pitch after a 10-minute rest.
They are keen to mitigate it down........ if it's a big team. But yes, your observations are correct in general.

Vannes are great fun to watch. And an example of what is possible if you don't operate closed leagues.

Frans gets carded for scrumming inward. Last week he got away with it the whole game.

Would like ouboets thought on this. He thought Frans was scrumming well against the Sharks last week

The Sharks LH never binds. Just scrum inwards all the time. The French ref look like a back and have no clue.

:lolno:

Obviously it was brought to the refs attention after last week ouboet. And it's clear as daylight. Frans scrums inward. Every time. The proof is in the card

Edinburgh losing to a town of 50,000 people whose attendances are probably greater than Ed's too.

14 internationals with 339 caps in the Edinburgh starting XV versus 2 internationals with 4 caps for Vannes.

If Edinburgh lose this then I think their coach is done.

My honest opinion, the prem is nowhere near as good as people claim it to be, i would argue that not one prem side would make it into the top half of the T14

JM was extolling how competitive the Prem is and that's all very laudable in a self contained context but not much use if it's simply equally weak when it comes to cross national comps.
