[QUOTE="FrenchFan, post: 932744, member: 70871"] I blame the union. The national team is their responsibility. They also appoint the national coach. And their record is abysmal. Everyone here knows Brunel is a political appointment. Laporte's *****. Outside of les Musical Chairs their selection policy is non existent. No game plan. No leaders. The same Brunel leaders were bystanders in Paris and again at Twickenham [URL]https://www.therugbyforum.com/threads/predicted-6n-table-2019.42698/page-3#post-930686[/URL] [I]Time to bring in the new generation[/I]. I'd pick from the U20 world champs and more. They have no mental bagage. Bamba Carbonel NTamack Woki Joseph Géraci. Demba Bamba was the pick among the forwards at Twickenham in a non-entity group that didn't even look like a team. Louis Carbonel took off from where he left with the U20 again.
