But he's allowed to turn to block the kick.
He probably ends up blocking Xalabert getting to that ball.
So there's got to load little small things that Toulouse are so brilliant.

let themselves down.
But I agree on the whole, like what a match that was.

I just, I just, you know, when you watch, there's a few players out there that are the complete rugby player.
They're the complete, like Ramos, Jalabert.
