[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 625696, member: 57076"] Lamerat selected anyways. Fickou starting against Scotland is a fine choice, he's good enough and isn't quite a complete rookie anymore now. And it's great for him to start a game. But Ireland are sound on defense and we really needed all the Fofana we can get since our other first choice center, Mr. Fritz (a good "couillu"), is down AS WELL... Let's see if Lamerat starts or not, if not, let's see what he gives us off the bench. Let's hope he plays at all !... I've never seen anything pleasing at int'l level from Damien Chouly and he just doesn't have the roughness you need in today's Rugby to compete with other no.8's. Faletau, Vunipola, Vermeulen, Denton...and he's nowhere as skilled as a Sergio Parisse (and forget Kieran Read), so his style has always been a bit ambiguous for me. He's big, but not huge...he's got some precision but he's not exactly a technician. Anyways, another chance for him to prove his quality, it's alright we rest Picamoles but ffs a bit of stable game plan France !!!!!!.. I like our best players are out; Guitoune, Fritz, Fofana, Nyanga, Dusautoir, Picamoles, FTD; so we can see more of a team playing rather than talented separate entities taking over, by necessity we'll need a lot more solidarity and chemistry...but will it happen, though ???..
