[QUOTE="corny, post: 781293, member: 72368"] Always politics with the French.:rolleyes: I'm not too well versed in any that so take this with a pinch of salt but the reason France have been **** for ages is because of their patterns of play. They have been incapable of playing any phased rugby for ages now. One, two phases, it breaks down and no one has a clue where they should be, where they should run etc.. Thats poor coaching and nothing to do with politics. PSA was a joker, Lievremont was the same. In Ireland we had Declan Kidney. Exactly the same problem. The days of running in tries off first are gone. These coaches (and the teams they had tbf) just didn't adapt. If Noves can create some structure in attack they easily have the player pool to overcome the political handicaps mentioned above. [/QUOTE]
