[QUOTE="Bernard, post: 251723"] I would say France Win .... The group has not change apart 2 injured guys with the return of the prodig son of the french rugby , Michalak . 26 years old , already 2 world cup done , never really answered to all hopes that french supporters have put on him ...He is coming back from one year in South Africa (he played for Durban , Natal ) and for now , nobody seems to appear fully satisfied with his performance with toulouse and french championship . But Michalak is Michalak ;) and as Tillous Bordes is injured , i think it is good to see him coming back and maybe show something different . i would say that even if Frenchies make a good performance agains Italy , it won't proove anything so it is certainly not the best match for Michalak to come back . it is a sort of match where you have nothing to win and a lot of thing to loose as France has already missed his tournament . So sadly for Michalak , i don't think he will come back a lot of times in the French team , apart if suddenly he is becoming a more tough mentally and win some regularity in his performance . From my point of view , we should continue to give experiences to young guys like Parra or Tillous bordes and count on Michalak ( or Elissalde ) in cases where we have injured players . like i i'm over to see Jauzion or Traille ...they had already their chances since years and years...i prefer youngest guys like Bastareaud , Trinh duc , Mermoz . The point of the italian match for frenchies will be to try to find again this concentration and engagment that has made them "killed" the welsh ...there has been a lot of critics in France about the combativity of french players against England , Lievremont said that some guys were not on the field last sunday , even before the match ...So very basically he is believing in this team and wants to give her another chance to shine ;) ...In the mean time , whatever the result is , we won't be really pleased after in all cases ... even if it is an important match because french team won't be able to play for a while together (even the spring tour in south hemisphere does not really count as , in general , Clubs don't let go players for that ...players are injuried etc ....and so we will play with a B-team as usual ) ...
