For me, and for a lot of french rugby fans, Jonny will remain one of the best flyhalf that ever walked on a rugby pitch, one of the greatest rugby player of all-time. Just watch the comments on this article from L'Equipe, it's the FIRST time I see EVERYONE showing huge respect to a champion...

It was a truly fantastic game, too bad for us, Toulouse could have won, but Leinster deserved to win. Great rucks, no fouls commited, and a great intensity, as always with Irish rugby players. That's the kind of game I expected to see in H-Cup semi between two of the best european teams with one...

Lol ! You certainly made a point here concerning Lièvremont ! :lol: And I totally agree, we can't compare any backline to NZ one, as I said before it was not what I meant. Carter, Gear, SBW, Smith, Toeava, Muliaina, Sivivatu, Nonu, Fruean, Jane, Rokocoko, Kahui, Payne, Ranger, Dagg, Ellis...

I didn't noticed this thread earlier, it's shocking how NZ has an incredible depth. In France, we have a great depth too, but not as impressive, don't get me wrong. However, this is my top 3 french backline : 1st : Parra (only 22y.o and already the boss everywhere he plays) Trinh-Duc (has not...

As for the match, I think we won't show any improvement in offence, but we will be present. For what I know, training sessions have been really serious, and our aggressivity will be better than last game. French players want to show they are not cowards, as Lièvremont said earlier. It will be...

Heymans is still playing for Toulouse, but he's not as efficient as before. I'm a huge fan too, he has still good moves, but his main abilities were based on acceleration, vivacity... now he has lost a bit of efficiency, but he is still a great player, always looking to make his partners play...

@ GreenyBoii : Totally. Excepted for his only one quality : he's honest and tells what he thinks, not what people want to hear.

I don't think so. Honestly, I don't see Lièvremont tempting to crush your pride. He hates talking to medias... not as Mourinho for example, who tries to win a game before playing it. I'm not trying to defend him and his stupid talk, but c'mon, Lièvremont has one quality : he is far from being...

Clerc is clearly not the best winger in Europe... he is the best in France (I consider Médard as a fullback) , I agree, but in Europe... he was really good before his injury, now he is on his way to be as good as before, but in my mind we can find better than him... still, I love this guy...

Marc Lièvremont said he hated english people. Lot of people will surely disagree, but in my opinion, that's why : Personally I like english people, but it's true to say first thing you learn when you play rugby for the first time in France is : "You can only pass the ball backwards. And...

Yep, everyone is France is laughing about that. Or crying. - Come on, Poitrenaud and Rougerie leave the team, and Estebanez (ONE good match with Brive in 2011), Palisson (a good Top14 player, but international ? What about Porical or Floch ??), Marty (deserved for him, but there's lot of...

Yep, hope we won't win against Wales. Laporte killed french flair, now Lièvremont killed France's XV. It's sad for us, but as said before everyone here is pleased for this italian team. We know them very well, and it's great for them, congratulations for your deserved win. As for the last...

I will make a prediction : this game will be the best of the tournament. I can feel it. Man, I've always supported Scotland. For years. And finally (since last year) it happens : scottish people are actually glad to discover their starting XV. And so do I. I really like this team, Lamont is just...

I was very pleased with this game. It's great to see italians play that way, I think you're a bit critical about your team, but when Italy plays like that, they can be really dangerous. Great first period for Wales, I'm always shocked by the way Williams finds solutions for his team. Hook was...

Well, congrats for your win. I really thought, after the first lineout and first scrum, we would lose by 30. So, why 9-9 at half time ? In first half, we were truly there, good aggressivity, we blocked the wings, and with a bit of luck we could take a little advantage at the end. But then, we...
