[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 636061, member: 57076"] About French locks, really briefly...Papé is really good, but he will blow an easy pass (every once in a while to win the last game of a 6N at the 79th..................), get way too excited and commit stupid fkn fouls a pro shouldn't give away, and his emotions will definitely get the best of him and sometimes that means he's going to yell at the wrong player, pick up a yellow, a red...wtvr. Cannot be in the conversation because of that emotion fiber, unfortunately. Because he is a warrior on the field. Maestri has not played a big game in forever, at least at test level, and often puts in an okay shift has a tendency to not be on par with test level ruck intensity. Vahaamahina is a gem who will take time to finally arrive as he rightfully should, too much to say on him for now. I like Christophe Samson too, Jocelino Suta is mediocre, but a guy like Alexandre Flanquart is very interesting because being so slim for a lock he runs faster, can finish off a play and outrun a guy and is a weapon in the lineouts being so tall. But in today's game so much is won at the breakdown, and he remains a liability on the ground nevertheless being too skinny and giving away too many kilos of muscle others will have and make him pay for it in the rucks and physicality department.
