[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 861157, member: 20605"] From my observations of French domestic rugby (and admittedly, I don't see a lot of it) it seems to me that somewhere along the line, flair and enterprise is being coached out of the players. The last time the All Blacks lost at Eden Park was 1994, that match that was mostly famous for "The try from the end of the World", and apart from the 1999 RWC semi-final (when whatever the French team did turned to pure gold), we simply do not see that kind of flair from them any more. I haven't seen it in Top 14, the RCC or from Les Bleus in the Six Nations. [/QUOTE]
