Will this affect the Basque club's s preparation for the match this weekend? Are Connacht now the favourites to upset the French club?

Pffft.......

Haha comedy gold.

Way the Irish times put it was

Biarritz president Serge Blanco has placed coaches Jack Isaac and Serge Milhas on gardening leave

Doesn't make sense to me, sure you don't work on the garden in winter.

Don't know if this will help Connacht this weekend

I think it probably will.

Maybe Eric could take over at Biarritz......

Bad news for Connacht. Biarritz have been going nowhere fast the last few months under these coaches.

I think Connacht should now go to the European Court of Human Rights and accuse Biarritz of insulting behavior. Had Biarritz lost to just about any other side would they have taken such drastic action?

If they lose again, it'll be 腹切り for the owner I reckon.

Can't blame Biarritz to be fair. Very poor from them. Everyone knows they lose to pretty much every team away from home but surely enough is enough!

I don't think it will matter either way - Biarritz are far stronger at home than away. Biarritz's record at home in the HC is excellent in stark contrast to their away one.
