[QUOTE="Tayga, post: 933044, member: 79351"] Salut French Fan, I agree with most of your post. France do have a lot of talent at their disposal but Brunel is not the guy to drive “un renouveau du rugby français “ - he has just selected the same squad for Scotland as for the England game. I think the youngsters need to be blooded in incrementally and given their chance - France will lose games but the youngsters will get experience for 2023. I can’t write off 2019 but realistically it would be a miracle if the 10th ranked team wins the tournament - but anything is possible with Les bleus - Selection wise agree with all but Picamoles and guirardo - picamole is a bit slower than he used to be but nobody in the back row can punch holes like him - he made the third most yardage against England . Guirardo is a good player but his form has been affected captaining a losing team - another captain should be appointed. I think both Laporte and Brunel have to go and go soon - Brunel’s sélection policy is just all over the place and the esprit collectif and any sense of tactical game plan is just missing . Laporte makes me angry when he criticises the players for not being up to it. He should look at himself in the mirror first . [/QUOTE]
