Lol ! Watch the french clubs in Hcup (now ERC) and you will see what being an unfair ref means ! The best ref is the ref you never notice ! Which is far from being the case at international level. Joubert will be a public ennemy in France till the end of his life. You can also notice he's...

Sexton of course ! His consistency in front of the posts made an Irish win possible ! And thanks mates for nominating so many french&italian players.

We've already discussed about it some day but there is only one thing making this usual points counting pretty unappliable to 6N. First of all, a Grand Slam is not being undefeated, it is winning all matches. What is the diffrence ? If you have 5 tie games, you are undefeated, but you did not...

Whoever they will take as head coach won't change anything. French rugby is only based on top 14 and doesn't care a single moment about the national team. How can you create a "team" with players only being toghether 2 weeks before 6N each year and 1 week before AI ... The FFR/LNR schedule does...

1. France is crap 2. France has no attacking abilities and no team cohesion after mulitple changes 3. PSA lost all his 6N games to Ireland and Wales in 4 years 4. Ireland & England are still very dangerous 5. France won't even make it out of the pool at RWC

Of course for all kiwis, being an international coach is the pinacle ... Because it means you coach the ABs !!! :cool: I don't see VC going back to Bordeaux. First because he has been coaching in top14 for a while, and maybe needs to do something else, then because he wants to help Scotland and...

The JIFF can be of any nationality, it is just a matter of where did they go to rugby school. There is no limit to how many foreign players can play a match, there is a limit on how many JIFF you have on your squad list. There is no restriction due to EU laws for player limitation as all these...

And what's the difference between an all star game and a Lion's tour ? Aren't the Lions a British Isles all star team ?

Why ?

I'd prefer an all star game every year or 2 : NH all star vs SH all star, rather than a Lion's tour. This would make rugby more popular ! And on at the same period, having a Super rugby winner vs Hcup winner could be also fun ! But this type of event is faaaaar too new and inovativ for those...

That's right, France did not win this match, Wales lost it ! They've had 2 opportunities to drop goal in the last 10 minutes but didn't take their chance ... We did an awful match that day ... - - - Updated - - - I'm really lost and don't know anymore what to think of that team ... On the...

And that is the comical thing ! They are said to be the best educated in the countries, but they are soooo disconnected of reality that they are not even able to see that a quota system is the most discriminating act you could have ! They want the society to be fair by setting unfair rules ...

And what if the blacks don't like rugby ? Is the SA government going to force black people to play rugby to reach the quotas ? Totally silly !

That's what I said ! NZ is not mentally prepared to win a WC ! They are not used to knock out competitions ! See last WC, they started to doubt after Weepu few misses, they started to doubt in 2007 because they weren't crushing the opponent ... When the level gets higher, you win the events on a...

Well the most important in our next match is : are we going to be able to keep the ball in hand ? Not talking about how long we will have the ball to use, no, all I'm saying is, are we going to takes our gloves off and keep the ball in our hands ! Soooo many knock on in 2 matches ... Awful !

Do you mean peaking, physically ? That is right, and explains why top teams are usually pretty bad at the begining of the competitions ... They are to peak by the end ! But as I said previously, to me, the most important is to be mentally prepared, you have to be able to raise your level above...

Mate, Premiership and Top14 = same fight ! We have the exact same problem. You're talking about Bath this year, well ask Guy Noves !!! The Stade Toulousain has been supplying players for the XV de France since it's creation, sometimes with 8 or 9 players at the same time ... And still playing...

If WC is overrated, then the Olympics and World championships of every sports are the same ... This is silly ! Why is Hussein Bolt famous ? Because he's olympic champion, same as Carl Lewis or Michael Phelps. Same for the 92' Dream Team, they didn't win anything but the 92 Olympics ... But...

And you didn't read what I said ! I'm not complaining about Papé being suspended, I find 10 weeks too few for his behaviour ! Entering a maul knee first is unaccpetable, that is clear ! What fed's up all us down here is the inequality between french and anglo saxon players with this damn...

And what would you say with O'Connell getting nothing for a kick in the head ? Intentional or not ... He got nothing ...
