[QUOTE="Melhor Time, post: 274033"] It was the end of a very long season for Dusautoir which started in August 2008. He has played two matches vs New Zealand. Smith had a break following Super 14 (no final or semi final) and did not play all 160 minutes vs Italy either. Dusautoir played all season, all tests and Heineken Cup quarter finals. He played the Top 14 quarter final vs Clermont then got on a plane for New Zealand to play two tests there. A far larger workload. Did you see France vs Australia in November 2008? Dusautoir was the best forward on the field that day and by quite a large margin. David Skrela can be thanked for losing the game for France. Dusautoir got the best of Australia that day and the best of New Zealand in October 2007. Smith is 29. I don't think he will at 31 be the force he was at 23 or 25. But thats just me. A very good player but not better than Dusautoir. [/QUOTE]
