...I see there is a lot of SA players in the Montpellier team also so they better not fk it up...
Frans Steyn will also be showcasing his unique skills at centre ahead of the series against England...that could mean the bumbling De Allande will be made redundant, what you reckon notso clevermike?
But really all Montpellier need to do is give the ball to the flying Fijian winger Nemani Nadolo and it's all over....
Should Montpellier win coach Vernon Cotter will be the first coach in Top14 history to lead two clubs to their maiden title. Clermont in 2010 and Montpellier in 2018
A win they're saying will go along way to justifying Cotter's salary, reportedly 1 million pounds per annum - Cotter is said to be the highest paid coach in world rugby...
But no doubt if Montpellier win past coach Jake White will claim all the credit for their success...
