[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 934942, member: 74121"] It is not often I'll leap to the defence of a union, most are filled by people who are their due to social and sporting connections rather than merit. However, most of the above rings true to me. There have been many changes in the pieces in the French union in terms of coaches and those above them, but the level of failure is consistent. It may point to external factors (like clubs). While I like the notion that national team success and club success are interlinked, I'm not sure that is true - at least not in the short term of years (maybe it is different in terms of decades). Fluctuations in Scottish and Welsh national sides have little impact on Pro14 attendances. I suppose the counter argument could be made in SA and Oz. [/QUOTE]
