[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 607003, member: 57076"] HEY !!! What's goin on here ?!! And yes you're right, the bench will be at debate surely... * I say Doussain, not Pélissié. * If Lauret isn't selected, you're right, it would be both unfair and a crap move too because we need physical, fetching, carrying power players in the loose against a side like S.A. And again, if he plays this one well too, he'll possibly be a lock for the XV de France for a while. He's exactly what we've been lacking in France, a flanker with a knack for fetching balls and carrying. Perfect if he turns out to be the player we saw against the All-Blacks consistently. * I don't like Claassen, he's good but he's not XV de France good. And we've got good options in the loose, in fact his countryman "Springcock" B. Le Roux is better, imo. Plus his full name is French so...:p kidding. * yes, Szar is the one guy I was hesitant about in my starting XV. In deed. But I think Kayser is ready for a match like this by now. He's been perfectly 'standard', hasn't he ? Not great, not bad. No specific criticism, nothing particular to praise. * Haven't seen Lopez since that one test last summer in a Bleus jersey...Michalak did look good in those last 15 in le Havre. Maybe he's decided to play some good, accurate Rugby again. On a side note, I'm glad Ducalcon has been dropped this Tour from the 30. Slimani has shown some quality, both on the field and in terms of mentality. [/QUOTE]
