Notes from the Top 14's round 2 (specifically from Le Midi Olympique):
- Reece Hewat was a standout for Pau in their win.
- Staniforth was also a standout for Castres after a 15 month injury layoff. Apparently back to his best for them.
- Joe Powell was diabolical for Montauban in their loss. Long season ahead.
- Unremarkable: Douglas, Banks, Vunivalu, Maddocks
- Injured: Uelese, Hodge, Leota, McIntyre, Petaia, Swinton, Coleman, Simone.
Good to know that our injury plague isn't any worse than overseas.
