Jalibert was below part. I hope he never gets selected for France ever again.

It would be a pity if he was not touring but good for the U20

I don't think ST can afford to play Dupont at FH. I hope they don't anyway.

Moving onto scrum-halves, I think France are currently blessed and could survive without Dupont: Lucu Couilloud Le Garrec Serin Colly... So much choice! Couilloud had a vey good season. He offers more than Lucu IMO. Le Garrec has the potential to leapfrog them all. Plenty of good options to complem...

Deserved victory for LAR. They were agressive and the forwards won it for them. Say what you want about the T14 but it prepares teams for important games.

Note for self: only back row players should contest the rucks.

North of Toulouse: Tarn: Albi, Montmirail, Lautret, Ambialet, Gaillac East: Carcassone is a must. West You'll hit the Gers. Great for food - Condom to see, nice countryside South West above Saint Gaudens, towards the mountains. Best to go above Lannemezan which is a bit further and hit vallée d'aure...

Racing there to play a tight game and it is paying off. It is a waste of their back line.

Toulouse problem is that tbeir forwards are just not dynamic, they just want to pick and smash ad infinitum. Additionally their pivot Ntamack is just quite ordinary, i have to agree withTorq here, he is just all hype and very little substance.(he is a very poor mans Marcus Smith) Forwards were not ...

I'll be honest, I watched that game and at no point did I think he was the problem, the absolute dogshit midfield and the lack of real threat on the wings were a much bigger problem. Not much he can do with such a paucity of talent outside him in that game. Toulouse seem a really lopsided team, qua...

Whilst too many in France have heads up arses in regards Ntamack, finally, the rest of the world is waking up to his desperately deep limitations. Romain Ntamack might be able to tear defences apart from time to time but ask him to manage a close game of rugby in the manner of Sexton and you’ll be ...

What happened? I did not see it?

I think the ref wanted to check whether Fickou was onside initially or whether his tackle on Tuilagui was legal. Thomas tried to milk it here but it was borderline yellow card here because Thomas is a rocket and slowing him down was a try saver. Sale player trips him in the process of trying to slo...

Fantastic line and speed. Well done.

The hair pulling deserves a red on its own.

And a punch in the face.

Our SH have been the kickers for a very, very long time now. I don't see why the FH should be the de facto kicker. This is not England. I don't care if the kicker plays prop frankly. Agree on the systemic failure under high ball in France and disagree that Ramos is flackier. I reckon Jaminet made a...

The reason why ST is having a hard time is because they lost composure during the 6N. They mess it up completely this year. Ramos, to me, is a better option at FB than Jaminet who is shaky, at best, under high ball and is one dimensional, considering Ramos covers FH and is a more complete/all round...

I am glad you found a new player to hate. He is far from being perfect but I am glad Ntamack is playing for ST and there to stay. Dupont's service yesterday as woeful. He had a bad game and made bad decisions. Shit happens. Another one of your pet hate, Ramos, is having a great time. I am also glad...

Ramos was good, Dupont wasn't at the races. POM was massive. Ditto. And why might that be? Ans: because for Toulouse, Ntamack has been so poor, Dupont has been trying to do too much all by himself. Another invisible man display yesterday and that f**king woeful kick away off the ball near the end w...

As you probably guess, I watched quite a few games of Toulouse and not only the last 2 games when the team has been under extreme pressure and played very little rugby due to Covid etc... You are on the hyperbole again. NTamack is more composed and his overall game management is better. You like fl...

So, Torque, you would have Gibert at 10 for France now? That's not what I said. And anyway, he's being forced to play 9. What I want is Jalibert back next game. Because Jalibert is better at managing a game than Ntamack, and a better kicker too? And not an attacking fly-half? We are very lucky to h...

How is Cros in this side ahead of Macalou? Is that a serious question?? Setting aside the continual dislike for him due to Edinburgh-gate, yes. He came on and changed the game against Cros's team on Friday. There is no better athlete in France: he's even more so than Itoje. No other side would wast...

Ireland - 17 points
England - 11
France - 27

Best way to trigger him is to say how much you rate N'tamack. One of France's great with Morgan Parra. Throw in some PI Players and you 're on fire. You're right, I don't understand why Raka isn't in the team! :wave: Not up to Huget's standards yet. Will probably never get there as Yohan was one of...

He had a good game indeed but still, he is not a second row and will struggle with the amount of scrums to be played in a typical 6N. Points scored are important. We often lose out in the ranking on the basis of points difference. This needs to change. Or we need a GS in which case, a 1 point differ...

Woki in the second row

France needs to win with a big margin if they want to stand a chance to win this comp.

The irony of this farcical Euro season is the only Fre club not to qualify will be the one who put in the most effort and deserved to be there: Castres! Eh. Like most, their efforts were mixed. They spent almost all of their round 2 game looking like they resented being asked to play a game. They w...

So, this is the place to come to in order to send emails to C69?
