[QUOTE="gaston le gaff, post: 832641, member: 61265"] this is all obviously true but until the French clubs are behind the National squad it will carry on just like it is today. The only other thing that i will add is that according to the clubs a young French player is extremely expensive to put through the Academies, and its an expense that is paid irrespective of the results of that player, whether this is right or wrong the clubs have for many years now decided that it may be better to recrute abroad, rugby has had massive changes over the last 15yrs, Toulon started this when they were in the Pro D2 and its excellerated since. The other massive problem is the FFR and the LNR and until they start to work together as one unit then not much wil change, i'm afraid that France is a very different animal to many other rugby playing countries, this is not an excuse its how it is, or as we say in France "c'est la vie" [/QUOTE]
