[QUOTE="gaston le gaff, post: 655903, member: 61265"] How about thinking in another way the French National team for example needs 30 players in a squad for a World Cup, 14 teams in the TOP 14 that comes down to 2.14 players per club, taking into consideration that Toulouse and Clermont provide the majority of the players lets say for example 6 from each and often its more than that, this leaves just 18 players from 12 clubs that brings down the average to 1.5 so the many foreigners do not really become accountable as far as the French National side is concerned. We have had foreigners for many years now ,yes maybe a few more at this present time but if you go on %'s its not that many more and you have to remember the Jiff is in place which means this year 50/55 % of squad must be French or have done Club academy before 21yo.
