I would have said "non-resident"

According to the press, the Brive team will be different to above, who's right?, God Knows.
Palisson,Bolavucu,Estebanez,
Fanolua,Sid,Petitjean,Mahe,
Bonvoisin(c),Azoulai,VanderMerwe,VanRensburg,
Short,Buys,Thompson,Toderasc.
SUBS; Harbut,Bonrepaux,Liebenberg,Classen,Neveu,Dambiell e,Ligairi.
Important info;
Brive are 11th in the T14, 6pts ahead of 12th(Albi) and 10pts ahead of 13th(Dax). That would suggest they are safe enough.
However, there are 10 more games to be played. As we get closer to the end(T14) the 3/4 teams sure of reaching the final phase will start resting players, which could lead to some upsets. Brive lose 1 game and a rival wins........ things could get difficult
.
From what I can see Brive are not going out for a win, they are keeping their powder dry to ensure staying up(T14). Does that mean the players will just roll over? not so sure. HOWEVER the management has expressed that this CUP is not a priority this season
.
Sale look strong on paper and Chabal will be out to impress & grab a seat for this summers tours.
As a rule I don't like h/cap bets, even less @-22.
I'll await your thoughts
