[QUOTE="FrenchFan, post: 911185, member: 70871"] But this is not what decided the outcome of the game though. The union charade could have fielded 16 players they still would have lost. There is a gulf in class between the No1 nation and one that is a tier 2 charade in the making. The only thing keeping the FFR in the Top 10 is the stupidity of the WR point system - not performance. The media outside of this country whaffled on about the yellow and red cards and the Serin RugbyGate. The media here are taking the mick out of the tourists. Rugbyrama ran a poll during the series 'Are les Bleus a tier-2 team?' The stats over the 3 tests are damning. The line-out is a mess. The scrum retreated more times than it advanced. The backs can'tstring 3 passes together. The offloading game that had started to take shape under Noves is gone. No leaders. etc. etc. The 'Best defensive team of the 6N' <chuckles> conceded a record 19 tries and 127 pts WTF -[U] they are a complete J-O-K-E.[/U] Atonio, Babillot, Galletier, Fall, Pélissié, Leroux, Dumayrou etc. are Not internationals. Plain simple. [/QUOTE]
