[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 538026, member: 57076"] ^ no way, PSA "has his head on his shoulders" as we say in ze french. I'm sure he's just waiting for remarks from his players right around the corner depicting exactly that state of mind - underestimating - so he can beat them with his shoe. He knows aaaaaaaaaaaall about the stereotypical French fluctuation of effort, as he said, a "18/20 performance and then 8/20 the following week". You can be sure he' was behind that vigorous effort against Argentina, he must've kept telling his players "Australia was a great game, but that's behind us. You guys want to be the laughing stock of the rugby world ?! You guys want that tag of French inconsistency ?! Now go out and dominate like we had all to prove again from scratch." And he knows all too well his players are like "okay we just gave Australia 33, Argentina 40...Samoa should be a breeze." And he's going to be an absolute nazi to make sure this notion just goes out the door, and enter the killing instinct. He was part of the only int'l side that ever won both test matches IN NZ in '94 - and though he's obviously not at the origin of that feat - I can see why. [/QUOTE]
