meh, it always has to come down to that francophobic attitude doesn't it?
You've dialed the wrong number. Nobody (but you) has talked about francophobic anything. What I said was the English-speaking world has a certain connivance and easiness of coming together, knowing about each other that it doesn't have for the non-English-speaking world. And it's the same in sports, and Rugby is no exception.
he is not at fault on that try. He does pick up the ball ahead of North but Doussain collides into him and the ball pops out as a result of the collision.
don't answer those man, he's just trying to wind you up.
Ewis what you say about the time taken for the international community to notice french players is somewhat ironic seeing as I'm sure you'll be the first to admit(I hope) that you don't know the first thing about Non internationally-capped English players, for example! No offence intended there!
A ridiculous post. Irony has as much to do with this as it does...ants. Or pizza.
Saying the int'l community takes a while to recognize French players, and personally not watching for whatever reason the Aviva Premiership often are two entirely distinct, isolated facts; one that pertains to a larger reality, the other just a minuscule element of my personal individual life.
I don't *take a while to recognize English players*, I just don't watch Prem. No relation whatsoever.
By your fallacious logic, I'd have to force myself to watch Prem or other leagues just to be able to make the observational comment that the Rugby world (basically the English-speaking community) takes a while to recognize, say, French (or Italian, Argentinian...) players.
Irony in this context would be something like: I say the int'l community doesn't know French players, and I don't myself.
And loving the ultra-passive aggressive "No offence intended there!" that comes out of nowhere. ^_^
ehhhh...aaaanyways. Dulin definitely a Top 10 FB in my book.
