Alas it wouldn't be enough even though that's still a good start. The main coach has to be surrounded by a strong team. I don't see what Bru brings to les Bleus as of now, the forwards are abysmal (and the backs are too...). Add to that the appalling level in Top 14 (foreigners aren't the only issue albeit being the tip of the iceberg): Players aren't individually skilled enough to beat their counterparts. They don't work as a team and don't benefit from a strong leadership, so no wonder they don't know where the ball is going from one phase to another.
Players are slow, they look lost on the field, they basically learned to forget what made them so threatening when playing 1st XV rugby at school or college. Rebuilding Rugby in France would require getting rid of that Top 14 joke of a competition and adopting the same provincial system as in New Zealand. First and foremost, we should get rid of these billionaires and "benefactors" who invest their money in french rugby clubs as if they were investing cash on the stock market. This is utter nonsense. It has never helped develop grassroots rugby, these guys only gain dividends and the rest is used to recruit foreigners.
