First and foremost, a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

With two loses from two outings from the recent week of football, the mood around the changing room is a bit bleak.

AS his former teammates prepare to return for the start of pre-season training, ex-Bronco Karmichael Hunt is living "a dream", having enjoyed a seamless start to his short-term stay at Biarritz on the southwestern coast of France..

Well I have managed to play two games for Biarritz so far. My debut against Clermont was one to remember with my team getting a win on the road against one of the best sides in the French competition.
