Hey Yoe mon ami comment ca va?

I don't think they are a hated team by any stretch, Yoe, most people like good rugby here and the French usually play positive rugby.

Hi yoe, what I meant was that people here felt there was a lack of effort from the French in that game particularly some very odd decisions made in the final ten minutes. Unfortunately you are probably right that a lot of English speaking-Canadians don't get along with the French because of their perceived closeness to Quebec....which is mostly a myth. Most French and Swiss-French that I know consider Quebecers to be a little parochial and that there patois accent is sort of the equivalent of Southern United States English.
