[QUOTE="Not Eddie Jones, post: 1013655, member: 81025"] I'd forgotten about their discipline issues. France have been a penalty machine for years and as you say, there's no sign of that changing. Their discipline cost them the ANC final, though that issue was lost among the hype about France B pushing England A all the way. :rolleyes: I remember when England had similar discipline issues under Martin Johnson and Stuart Lancaster, it was so frustrating as a fan to watch them constantly giving games away with a ton of penalties. But who knows? Galthie could turn out to be the man France need. He could be the man to get the players fit, sort out their discipline, sort out the club-v-country issues, sort out their defence, win the 6N, beat NZ, SA and Oz and win a world cup. After all, no-one predicted SA would win the world cup when Erasmus took over a shambles of a team two years out from the tournament. :cool: [/QUOTE]
