Were there a mint-sauce battle and worcestershire battle too? These ones you should have lost[/b]

You seem to forget sir that while you may win a few battles, we always win the war and usually on the points of our bayonets!

The battle of Worcester was a key victory, nay the decisive victory, for the New Model Army during the English civil war.

As for the Mint-sauce, that's more to ask either the Welsh or Kiwis about.

this is turning into that google joke, type French military victories into google, press feeling lucky and you get did you mean French military defeats???

 

[Stillknox]

French squad:

Forwards (13) : Faure, Barcella, Szarzewski, Kayser, Marconnet, Domingo, Thion, Nallet, Millo-Chluski, Harinordoquy, Dusautoir, Bonnaire, Chabal


Backs (10) : Parra, Tillous-Borde, Trinh-Duc, Jauzion, Traille, Fritz, Bastareaud, Heymans, Malzieu, Médard

Out: Ouedraogo, Picamoles, Poitrenaud, Baby. (injury)


In: Thion, Bonnaire, Traille, Fritz

Chabal is back at the third row, probably as a flanker, his original position at Bourgoin. Still only one fly half and Parra as goalkicker, Traille as utility back. (he will cover the 10, 12 and 15 jersey)

Excellent !!!!

I have to tell, just to restore a bit of honor and pride:

732 Charles Martel stops the arab invasion in Europe at Poitiers
800 Charlemagne conquers a big part of Europe and become the first Empereur after the Romanian empire
Xth century: Eviction and hounding of Otton's german army
en 1066 Hastings
En 1099 First crusade and conquest of Jerusalem
1124 Bourgthéroulde: Louis VI evict german invasion
1214 Bouvines, versus Empereur's and Englih allied armies
1324 and and 1382: Cassel and Roosebeke: Flemish coalition annihilated
1453 Castillon: End of a century war versus England
1515 : Marignan versus Italy while 2 invasion of the penincula beetween 1494 and 1562
1643 and 1658 Rocroy and Les Dunes: versus the mythics Spanish Tercios
1745 Fontenoy, versus England and Holland
1783 Assistance in American independance war, versus Brittany
1791 Valmy: Versus Prussian, Austrian and British cohalition to restore royalty after French revolution
Napoleon's period: more victories than Jules cesar, Hnnibal and Alexander the Great put together. Just walk along the seine in Paris and read the name of the bridges over it (Arcole, Ulm, Austerlitz, Iena, Friedland, Eylau, Wagram, Borodino, etc...).
1859-1860 Solférino, versus Austria.
1914 Verdun


Now without forgetting what my ancestors have done, good or bad, I enjoy what any of us in Europe has been having the chance to live for more than 50 years, PEACE...

Marvellous list old chap, but do pray tell: Did you write it all on your own or did you have to collaborate with the Germans?

 

[Mr.cyclopede]

If you watchch closely, Germany is on the podium of our best ennemies, just after England for sure...despite what the word collaboration means in our XXe century mind.

Here we just tell the story:
Why on earth are there so much tree along the road in France ? It's for the german's to drive comfortably in their shadows while they invade us

Find this selection plesant, even if I would have liked to see Privat instead of Thion

[Sir Speedy]

Johnson threatens to drop players

That's just to cover up that he killed Care post-match Saturday night.

Care apologizes for yellow card

That's an RFU associate imitating Care.

 

[An Tarbh]

I'm sorry but where the hell is Vickery's apology, a quarter of the penalty count was down to him.

He's marketing the RFU's new clothing line "Raging Bulls**t". It's in line with recent England performances.

 

[An Tarbh]

so it's just for fat useless ******** then.

There is a constant quote going round in my head when I think of one of my French buddies: 'I 'ate jonny wilkinson'. This reminds me that he is a thorn in the French side (as opposed to Francophile Hodgson) and hence we should pick him. I don't even care if he's fit, just pick him against France and we'll win easy.
