Grenoble have taken card schools on the team bus to a whole new level

Speedbumps must cause chaos on the team bus

Grenoble's players are so used to lengthy bus trips around France and Europe, for Challenge Cup games, that they have come up with a novel way of spicing up the traditional card school. The players set up their own D.I.Y cardboard roulette table to keep them entertained on an eight hour bus ride to Italy. The Top 14 side take on Rovigo in Europe on Saturday and will hope to build on their 68-10 success against the same side last weekend. Grenoble coach Bernard Jackman seems to approve of the ingenuity as he tweeted this picture from the bus:

As the epic drive to Italy continued, the wagers went up several notches.
