[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 611304, member: 57076"] no no, you didn't get me. I'm saying England have "played their game" this whole year, and it's not like giving them more time *WITHIN* the frame of this 2013 year was going to make them any better. Of course they can improve, nobody has trouble with that notion. I'm saying they've played their game, and have done it fairly well. Relatively to their own game i.e. to their intrinsic limits for the year, England have played about an 8/10 this year, on average. What we've seen is just about the most they could've done, there wasn't a whole lot more in store they hadn't shown. The same couldn't be said about France. We've had a handful of training sessions together, extremely limited time. Guys are like strangers to each other, and this is very obvious to anyone who's watched France this entire year; and hopefully this'll change soon the more they play together as we're solidifying our core and making less changes to the roster. With a backline consisting of the likes of Fofana, Fritz, Fickou, Bastareaud, Guitoune, Huget, Benjamin Fall, Dulin...etc, big ball carriers up front like Picamoles or Debaty, and an attacking platform like the French scrum, we can obviously say France hasn't exactly squeezed all the juices out of its oranges, to say the very least...the very least. you call what you want out of what you want fella, no problem ! :D [/QUOTE]
