You'll have to wait until Servat and Mas leave the field beacause when Guirado and Ducalcon came in, the scrum was pretty weak. This time it will be Marconnet instead of Ducalcon, a bit old but still stronger and dirtier than Ducalcon. Old school prop.

Fantastic (it's ironic!) French team announced today by Marc Lievremont. Domingo-Servat-Mas Nallet-Pierre Dusautoir-Harinordoquy-Bonnaire Parre-Trinh Duc Medard-Mermoz-Rougerie-Huget Traille Still a shit backine except Maxime Medard who deserves to be here. Apparently Traille, Rougerie and...

Send him to Racing Metro 92 next year! I'll be more than happy to have this primitive **** in my team

Do you really want Mortlock to be back? I'm not sure it is the best option. Palu will certainly be back if he stops being injured. And I still don't understand why Waugh is not used as a back up for Pocock and Elsom.

He has been doing great with Montpellier since the beginning of the Top14. It is quite a "surprise" team. But he had the "Caucau" syndrom this winter (summer for you down under). He stayed a bit too long in Fiji and was two weeks late back to training. Nalaga is in the same situation, still on...

True... Nalaga, Nagusa, Ligairi, Lovobalavu etc...

I don't think it will be a grand slam year. Ireland has a good opportunity because England will play at the AVIVA Stadium. And I think Italy won't be last this year

Toulouse is focusing on the H Cup the two next week ends. They want to finish at the top and to be the host for the quarters. It's a shame they didn't "play the game" but they are still first so it is not a big issue for them.

Your kind with Trinh Duc... never really liked this guy. I would prefer him to play in a top team to check if he is a real game leader but before our national team became as good as Belgium, I tought he was the weak link. I'm a big fan of Wisniewski (maybe coz I support the Racing) but he has...

Brock James is the best fly half in France... too bad he can be eligible for France! And now Morgan Parra is the official kicker, James is no more subject to his mental failures like during the former Top 14 finales or against Leinster last year. George Smith and Adam d'Arcy are as well...

He wants to stay but will have to leave like Taine Randell

There won't be so much players heading to France anyway. There a new quota law saying that 70% of the players must be french. So maybe only some big names like Giteau, Waugh, Moore or Elsom but no oldies like Sharpe, Vickerman or Baxter.

You know the ability of French people to say that if a decision seems unfair to us it is because all the refs are english speaking guys!

I think you are too kind with Poite and Berdos coz even if they can have some good games, they are most of the time terrible, especially for Berdos. This is a big issue coz in a tough competition such as Top14 it is hard to accept mistakes. They are too arrogant and the federation is always...

I think you have made a great summary of the situation. But as usual our coaches are complaining about the rhythm in the Top 14 (plus the H Cup) as a reason for this disaster. Injuries as well. Lievremont said that all the Aussie players were playing in only three teams (that shows his lack of...

1- Tony Woodcock 2- William Servat 3- Nicolas Mas 4- Victor Matfield 5- Nathan Sharpe 6- Rocky Elsom 7- Richie McCaw 8- Jamie Heaslip 9- Will Genia 10 - Dan Carter 11 - Drew Mitchell 12 - Ma'a Nonu 13 - Conrad Smith 14 - James O'Connor 15 - Kurtley Beale 16 - Keven Mealamu 17 -...

The funny things about this two guys is that they can be pretty bad at many games, they will always have the confidence of the coaches whereas a guy like Skrela is dropped from the team when he misses a kick. Wisniewski is not fit yet, but Beauxis is available. His kicking abilities are much...

I'm not too optimistic... Damien Traille is not a fly half (not even a decent center) and Rougerie is worse. They are just big. Our wingers are too inexperienced and the fullback is too predictable. We might have a stronger scrum, the best backline is the Wallabies' one. Only Parra and Jauzion...

Steven Pocock is still part of the WF Academy?

He was average in its first season and not on the starting team for its second. Bayonne was struggling to be on the top unlike this season. He had troubles in the scrum and this is not really well seen in France when you're a prop.
