[QUOTE="LouisDavis, post: 731278, member: 72815"] France have most certainly underperformed, to go from World Cup finalists in 2011 to go to receiving the wooden spoon in 6N 2013 suggests something has drastically gone wrong. To say this is the failing of the players is wrong with the a star-studded back line including the likes of Fofana and Basteraud. One would point fingers at a lack luster coach in the form of Saint-Andre, whom has consistently picked the wrong team - the exclusion of Louis Piccamoles comes to mind. Being an avid welsh supporter myself, I would say we've gone down a notch ourselves in recent years, however, it's been covered up by the fact France's descent has been more noticeable and drastic.
