[QUOTE="gaston le gaff, post: 655935, member: 61265"] for Stormer 2010, you actually jumped the gun as i was replying to Heineken (should he now change his name as its defunct, H Cup that is) QUOTE HEINEKEN.....Isn't this whole downward spiral of the French National team, due to the French top 14's clubs and their ever-expanding wallets being dished out to purchase foreign players? In the last month 2 young prospects from SA, have been lured to France in Johan Goosen and Paul Willemse. Both are under 22 years old. you actually posted while i was doing mine so that is why it appeared directly below yours, but i agree about the time spent before the Internationals, too many games etc does not bold well for the National side, and even more important rest time, eg. Nico Mas, and Fulgence Ouedraogo have just arrived back in the country following the Aussie 3 tests we started training last Thurs, first pre match 25th July, these 2 players will have not time to integrate with the new players before we a what you guys probably don't know about is the politics and power struggles that goes on in the FFR and LNR, some of these guys have nothing else in their lives so decisions are abysmal and until there is a massive shakeup things will not change.
