A big win for France. Combined with their away win in Argentina I think there are signs their latest coach is far better than the poor two guys before him. Bad signs for Scotland and Argentinas hopes of a second pool seeding at RWC. If they defeat Australia then the start of a revival may be confirmed.

Remember that they have a 'centralised' squad of 30 internationals now and have the same preparation time as the other 6 nation sides and wont have to play for their clubs in between 6 nations rest weekends. At least they now have parity there and are not at a disadvantage.
wow a 'centralised' squad. How cool.

Similar to EPS no? In terms of maximum fixtures and training with the national squad.
Don't know what signs you've been reading. Saint-André started his tenure with wins over Australia and Argentina.
They have gone back under Noves in their last 6N. A revival? a revival of what his 2 predecessors went thru is much more like it.
I can't see them beating Aus and they're in for a hiding v NZ which won't help Noves case before the 6N when the players go back to their clubs.

Missed the Samoa game, but looking forward to the next few France games. Happy with the Samoa win though.
You didn't miss anything. Neither did I. Friend said 'Clermont would have put 60 on that lot (Samoa)'. That sums it up for me.
Hmm... Interesting. Thanks
