[QUOTE="Incredible Schalk, post: 163326"] I think what Laporte did with the French team was ridiculous, you could see they looked very uncomfortable having to kick for corners. In the last couple of year France have looked less and less dangerous in attack, forwards and winning ugly is important but so is scoring tries and this very structured gameplan that most sides have these days in killing the game. To be honest i find France infuriating to watch, so many great players yet very few tries against good sides because of their unnatural kicking game. You should play to your strengths but to many coaches nowadays tell their teams to play sterotypical rugby, kick for the corners be strong at the breakdown etc.., basics are important but you need a bit of imagination to be a top team in the long term.
