Clermont & Castre

Tuesday 1 December 2009 - By Karmichael Hunt

Well I have managed to play two games for Biarritz so far. My debut against Clermont was one to remember with my team getting a win on the road against one of the best sides in the French competition.

My second outing wasn't a good result for the team. Castres who are currently atop of the ladder played a dominant game of rugby and showed great continuity with the ball in hand. Castres kickers were on song taking every opportunity given to put 3 points on the board. The margin was close before half time however having a man sent to the bin put us behind the eight ball and we never really seemed to recover after that point.

After returning from Castre a little battered and bruised we have been forced to recoup quickly before our 'catch-up' match is played against Racing Metro on wednesday.

After that its another away game on the sunday against a tough opponent in Albi. With all our internationals back from duty and in good nick we are out to put a few good performances in and hopefully collect some valuable points along the way.

Outside of rugby, the weather here in Biarritz has started to show her true winter colours! Its been blowing a gale, thunder and hail has been falling. Fingers crossed the weather clears up for Wednesday's game.
