unlucky not to have been called up to the international set up more often by now, I think after the World Cup Lapandry will rise to prominence and the older Bonnaire will gradually fade out of the

style="font-family: 'microsoft sans serif'">Djibril Camara has been a bit too inconsistent to seriously challenge for a starting place at Stade Français and although he is fantastic sometimes and has lots of raw potential, he is also quite error prone, however in the Top 14 mavericks like this are not really allowed to shine in the league, compared to the Magners League where the less amount of
