[QUOTE="elgringoborracho, post: 243801"] Just a big bravo to the Irish, playing and winning in a very Munsterish way, which is a compliment. Heaslip has been immense, in all aspects of the game, adding to it a pure class little inside step that made Poitrenaud look like a bellydancer. I sincerely hope they get to the top now, and even after watching the Welsh cack on the Scots I believe that's what's going to happen. From a french point of view, I'll just say some defeats are worth victories, even if it's quite cruel that it happened on our first (and probably most difficult) game in the tournament. We saw what we had been expecting for a long time offensively, something I think only a few teams are capable of, and resulted in our first try. Tillous Borde - Beauxis worked quite well I reckon, and our centre pair is world class. Harinordoquy, Chabal and Dusautoir were perfect... and not many things need to be corrected in order to start winning games. We are building a team little by little, with young players who already look experienced, like Beauxis, TB, Medard or Malzieu, and I think that's precisely what Lievremont is trying to do. The hard thing now is for the staff to try and be as positive as I am and not start losing confidence. Credits to the Irish once again, they fully deserved it, and the fact that I didn't even talk about the refeering is here to prove the point. [/QUOTE]
