But the Agen supporters outside the ground on Saturday night had longer than a couple of hours to do before making it home. Munster and Connacht fans will see at first hand next week the mayhem being caused in France by Les Gilets Jaunes — ‘The Yellow Vests’ — in a protest which has left four dead and hundreds injured. Nobody does protests better/worse than the French and Les Gilets Jaunes, named after the hi-vis jackets which are mandatory at arm’s length of the driver in every vehicle, is a classic. There are no leaders of Les Gilets Jaunes, it’s all orchestrated by social media and differs from area to area. Angry at the government, angry at Les Gilets Jaunes for the disruption, just angry at what they see as rising prices.
