[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 701314, member: 57076"] I don't even mention Sergio Parisse anymore. I think he might be the greatest no.8 of all-time. Kieran Read ? Pff, doesn't even speak French... Jo Danty has been for the past year and a half the new semi-attraction in France in terms of midfielders. With the hatching of so many young stars lately like Lamerat or more recently Dumoulin all scoring some caps with France, Danty is this young fellow who's bid his time and still doesn't get the promotion he unanimously deserves. He was often called "Baby Bastareaud" early, but then people realized he had a serious pass and was too well-rounded already to be called that anymore, as the tag implies he's just a crashball midfielder. He's a real 12. The ball *will* circulate with him, and he's a very interesting host for ball-carrying and a fantastic platform to play off of for any backline. He adapts to situations and often reads intelligently and makes the right choice. And for such a stocky specimen, he can use his boot too, especially judicious grubber kicks for a wing. He's also very gathered and seems a calm psychological profile, a kid who puts his head down quietly and learns, very good signs. He's just turned 22, and as many fans here, there's no doubt on my mind he'll play for France soon enough, and not just the odd 2 caps for an injured regular. Herrera I've been saying all along. Don't buy into the hype because he can be dominant with the Pumas. He's a very average young tighthead prop. As for the C.O. fullback Dumora, Geoffrey Palis went down last week, long term injury. He's played I think 95% of the Castres games under 15 this year with Dulin sent to Racing. [/QUOTE]
