Merci Paddy

et les hommes verts ?

French women giving RSA women a solid hammering right now.

For the men they have been disrupted by Argentine... again...

French pack and subs are some unit

Jury is out on 15, kicking from hand was terrible and some decisions. Kicking from tee was super

Jaminet is the New darling...

I think Dulin is still better

I agree, so far

What's happened to Ollivon? Last season's outstanding 6N flanker and French captain? Is he injured?

Yes, he is injured, Dupont is deputizing...

So what do you reckon for the game next saturday ? I don't think les bleus will be able to control the ball like ireland did. .

Is Thibaud Flament the New Retallick (Light)?

I'm not sure NZ will be able to defend like that a second game in a row though. It was inhuman and I don't think repeatable.

Jaminet - Penaud, Fickou, Danty, Villière - (o) Ntamack, (m) Dupont (cap) - Jelonch, Alldritt, Cros - Willemse, Woki - Atonio, Mauvaka, Baille.

Remplaçants : Barlot, Gros, Bamba, Taofifenua, Flament, Cretin, Lucu, Jalibert.

Jalibert to the bench? Intriguing. Is Danty/Fickou seen as more defensively imposing?

Puja

No dulin bah...

but I like the idea of Woki in the second row

Puja

more powerful both in defense and attack, allowing to go through the line of defense...
Jalibert is set to replace one of them normally, to bring something else

Good selection.
Danty and Fickou's defence will be key, and of course they're no slouches in attack either.
Woki in the second row is also key as he's rather good at nicking the opposition lineout ball.

I reckon two consecutive defeats for NZ is on the cards! Can"t wait!!
