FORMER STADE FRANCAIS back Ollie Phillips was in studio for Sky Sports’ coverage of this evening’s Top 14 final, and it’s clear that his time playing in one of the fashion capitals of the world didn’t have a positive impact on the Englishman.
Stade Francais ended an eight-year wait for Top 14 honours to defeat Clermont Auvergne 12-6 in a pretty disappointing final at the Stade de France.
In the first-half, Morne Steyn kicked three penalties for Stade before Camille Lopez replied with one for Clermont just before the interval.
Brock James came off the bench to close the gap to three with a 62nd-minute penalty, but Steyn closed out the win for Stade by kicking his fourth of the night with the last action of the game.
We’ve heard that before.
Stander should never ever have been allowed to play for Ireland. Same goes for all the overseas financial mercenaries. Parks,Aki,Lowe etc.
@Patrick Lawlor: The irony coming from the guy living and working abroad.
@James: yeah and I am still 200% Irish and always will be.
@Patrick Lawlor: 200%! LOL
@Patrick Lawlor: Get bent, Patrick.
@Pete Slattery ✏️ do one pete
@James: absolutely. Lsugh away.
@James: Ran out of the country more like it
@Patrick Lawlor: you’re an irishman alright 2 chips on each shoulder.
@Mark Sheehan: for stating that Stander isn’t Irish?
@Paddy Waggon: a tad off the mark there on that one but sure judge away
@Patrick Lawlor: Everyone is entitled to an opinion but this is a perfect example of when most people just don’t care what it is. Enjoy screaming into the void Patrick.
@Paddy: no one is screaming Paddy.
@Patrick Lawlor: Whatever you need to tell yourself.
@Patrick Lawlor: no for being a 200% @rsehole.
@Paddy: on you go now. Good lad.
@Mark Sheehan: keyboard warrior muppet
@James: It’s always the “Irish abroad” with the weird gatekeeping on who can and can’t be Irish.
@Rochelle: Rubbish.
@Patrick Lawlor: It’s really not that serious haha
