[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 661965, member: 57076"] honestly, I'm an ever-optimist. For e.g., during the last 6N, because I'd been disgusted during the tournament I stopped caring mid-way through. For e.g. I wasn't stressed at all during th SCO FRA game because I'd already stopped caring about our tournament, and didn't mind losing that much given the pathetic match we played. Then, I got happy again because we played a bit better against Ireland, a match we should've won, courtesy of Papé giving a regular pass out wide as during practice, every day of his 20 year career. Then, the Aus tour. Wasn't expecting a whole lot, but maybe a victory. After test 1, I gave up. The same will happen during those coming November tests. Because it'll have been a while since I'll have seen the xv de France, my hope will be restored a little bit again. After all, like I said, we HAVE been very dominant before under PSA, and it actually could happen again. Our level fluctuates a lot, compare how we played vs England last Feb. vs our game in Cardiff. Ridiculous difference, and just a couple weeks separation time-wise. We'll beat Fiji comfortably, and then who knows against Aus. If we play like the Cardiff game, or Murrayfield, or Aus tour...etc...it'll just consolidate my sentiment that we're near hopeless. But remember, it wasn't a year ago that we were a hand-in-scrum mistake away from drawing with the invincible All-Blacks. We did better than England, during that 2013 EOYT and England had the psychological edge over them though. I'll always keep a little hope, just for a first glance, and then will decide to forget about it or not. But I need that first glance, every 5 months or so when we get together and wear Bleus.
