[French Rugby Club is absolutely delighted to welcome
England World Cup winner, British Lion, MBE and Brive hooker
Steve Thompson on board as our latest columnist. The
48-times capped international will be sharing his thoughts,
opinions and experiences with us regularly throughout the
rest of the season, beginning with his first column here on
Brive's tough start to 2009/10, the loss of injured centre
Riki Flutey and just why Shaun Perry has been able to settle
so quickly. Enjoy... - Ed]
Frustration… that’s my overwhelming feeling at the moment.
We’re playing well and yet we’re just not getting the
results that our efforts deserve. Saturday (against
Biarritz) was another example of that. It was yet

lost by three points again – just like last weekend against
Montauban – and it means we’ve now dropped eight points in
the league when you also take into account our home draw
against Clermont a few games ago.
You just
can’t afford to do that in this league because it’s so
competitive, and we know we have to regroup and try and get
ourselves on a run, like we did last year, beginning with
Friday’s home game against Castres.
