[QUOTE="jaunard06, post: 539868, member: 56207"] Both teams were not at 100%, and on France side that performance is even more remarkable considering that the best 2011 World Cup player was not there, that Servat went into a deserved retirement (but we still miss "La Buche" IMO, he was probably one of the world's best), and what about Bonnaire...sorry guys this is not ASM bias I really mean it, that guy was our Swiss knife and we obviously miss him at breakdown. So individually speaking since the WC I think the french team weakened and we still got the edge on 3 excellent SH teams, so for me that's an unexpected and pleasant result. If you look at the match against Samoa this was typical of the Lievremont era, where we just defend, show no flair but we take any opportunity to score and are dangerous on turnovers. The only difference being that our collective defense imrpoved a bit since the WC - but we still have a big margin, considering that Argentina's try... [/QUOTE]
