[QUOTE="unrated, post: 854535, member: 45773"] Parra played very well in the Top 14 final that guys seriously put his body on the line. I know people say that phrase often but as a small scrum halve he was making steals and getting destroyed by the big Toulon players. Trinh Duc made some mistakes but he also showed great commitment to the cause and you have to admire that. I think he will be a great replacement to Lopez (don't know if he has been called up). It's a shame the top 14 final is so close to the test series. Especially for the French this really shortens the time the national team spends together. Our old Springbok coach Meyer was asked by a journalist if he was going to rest some players for the next game and he said that players should be managed at club level not national level so why does Lopez prioritize his club over his country ? He should have made sure he is ready to play for France when they need him not for the club that pays him so well. [/QUOTE]
