Worzel and Tim Cocker (of the Eggchasers, formerly BT) have launched a YouTube channel called FRUK Rugby for covering French rugby for a UK audience. They went to have a chat with Dobby in Pau for this episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTSx6-Oj_rw
Took our our eldest out to Pau for a flying visit last weekend to watch Dan play in their last game of the season (a grudge match against Perpignan). Had hoped we'd see Ali Crossdale play as well, but he was nursing a knee injury.
Based on our 24 hours out there, there's nothing not to love about being out there.
When it comes to the rugby, the pre-match atmosphere and build up was perhaps the best i've ever experienced. Not sure how prevelant it is across all Top 14 Teams (know it happens in Toulon), but they did the walk from the Bus to the Dressing Rooms with a fairly tight fan corridor.
The whole setup there is great for fans.
Well worth a visit, we'll be back - ideally to try and tie-in Pau vs Toulouse to see Jack play. But will see how dates pan out. Got Treviso high on our away-day list as well.
Earnt some decent Dad points in the process as well.
