[QUOTE="FrenchFan, post: 617977, member: 70871"] aah finally a post worth getting up for...nice break from the SH doomsayers... yes i like the look of it. Its totally untested but they are both form players and PSA should make his selection based on form. Will he? Krokett is a great player, another QUALITY NET IMPORT (thank you) who is now elligible for the french team. It will be hard to get in as a scrum half for him given the strength already avaialble for that position (Parra, Machenaud...). HOwever for the 10 shirt its wide open. No strenght in depth here, more like a desert. It would require innovation and balls from PSA to pick these 2 but problem is PSA is a CONSERVATIVE coach at heart. We would need a ballsy selector at this stage. At 29 Tales is good but a bit old for the WC and hasnt made the 10 jersey really his. PSA is basically going to run out of time before we have we have a strong 9-10 partnerhsip. But yeah i like the look of it. Doussaint is a scrum half by trade, another gem from the Toulouse academy but he seems to settle nicely in the 10 jersey at Toulouse. He was flawless agst Saracens. If he can do the business for Toulouse, why not? With Para back from injury and back in the group, id like to see a Doussain - Parra combination agst in Eng [/QUOTE]
