Above: Zut alors je suis tres lazy et un complete cock mais du temps en temps je suis a rugby playing god (shrug)The French are a weird lot aren’t they. Bent by Tonga, nearly beaten by a 14 man Wales in a semi and then play so well in the final that they nearly win. News from the camp was that Leivremental was as popular as finding out that you’d booked Gary Glitter the clown for your kids birthday party. Now we see that they have kept 12 of the side from the world cup squad with the uncapped Wesley Fofana coming in for a start against Italy. This team smacks of continuity for the win rather than a team for the future seeing that the youngest of the front 5 is the prop Debaty. Has Nallet the touch of Simon Shaw of him with no Frenchmen pushing - if yes then he will be around 40 for the next world cup. The reason I think is that Sant Andre will leave building to be a continuous plan and the most important thing for this 6 nations will be to win and to do that you don’t leave out grizzled vets like Nallet, Harinordoquy, Pape, Servat and Mas. Sorry I have read this back and realised I have been writing about the French and have forgotten to comment on wondering what team will turn up………
