I think the 2 last matches were kind of strange ones. It is like there was no shaun edwards anymore, no more good defense. I cannot believe how we got trashed around the rucks agaisnt wales and scotalnd. Or this is a deliberate thing to avoid penalties (which is failing quite obviously) or...

Thrilling end of match, a lot of my french mates or family just stopped watching after the red card, it was off, finished...and then it was not. Was a mad match, with France just forgetting all the basics during 60 minutes on a defense perspective and game management...Wales playing almost...

I do make a difference between a fair and clean defeat and a dubious one and I know that in the last 5-6 years we have been pretty bad. I never felt that for the french football team for example, or any other sport. Yes the weight of reffing decisions is more important in rugby hence why it can...

If you are French, we have plenty of those in our bag, he hammered us with dubious penalties all along his career...but yeah I guess it never made it to the first pages of british newspapers as our opponent were quite often british (and it was never that obvious than dodgy calls like yesterday)...

I'm over my frustration now :D Thanks for your calm answers We will never know what would have hapened, defo Scotland had a solid and intelligent match, very good defense all in all, and our key players went off or had a bad performance. I would just point out that when the red card incident...

You mean Nige , the welshman who stuffed us quite a lot along his honorable service ? Thank god at least we had one at that end, thanks Nige ! Ho I'm no worried to have irish referees when I'm playing England, I will let you wonder why... For the match vs wales, we have discussed it on the...

Just half of the story, my point. Obviously agreeing that it was fully stupid from Haouas, still the scot 8 should have been at least yellow carded for what he has done. But there was not much motivation to look at things in their entirety so it seems

Then I cannot help you much cause it seems quite obvious what I'm trying to say. At least the Scot 8 deserves something, he started the **** but then, strangely enough, the TMO did not focus very much on his gesture, as the BBC did not as well, wondering why as you should wonder, but maybe you...

Obviously you would not answer differentely

https://twitter.com/lol_rayul A bunch of one sided referees, English and irishes (TMO especially) who obviously did not have any interest in seeing France losing, even more when Scotland could not get anywhere disturbing their little cuisine, and the scots are always the nice guys, we all love...

mmmh Maybe I'm a bit subjective being french but I think that Wales looked like more France in the past 3-4 years, pounding desperately at the french defense without too much imagination. And the french were the ones being more creative and dangerous I feel overall that we were the dominant one...

Interesting to reread this topic, the good performances of the french team on the last 3 matches put all what we said in perspective. Surely, we need to wait some more matches to talk about resurrection of les bleus but based on what we have seen, there is definitely an improvement in terms of...

My english mates and colleagues all the week went on how wonderfully they played NZ and as soon as I (or others) were starting to say "yeah but I think NZ did not turn up, you have not played against a top notch New Zealand team (which means not at the best of its capacity)" and "yeah English...

Laisses tomber.. You are on an anglo-saxon forum. anglo-saxon world where the banter is quite sometimes used to hide borderline racism (surrendering monkeys and all the crap around this for example) and genetically integrated in each of those people. We, in france, would not have thought too...

Tue that the contingency plans were not ideal, I have no clue if the contingency plans were part of the rules of this world cup ? were they clearly highlighted ?

I do understand the gutted scot if this game is not played, there was some typhoon threat on hte French USA match which would have changed a lot of things for the french i.e maybe not qualifying, even more with the england match canceled. However, every federation has signed the rules of this...

As usual, no words about the awful, one sided refering of owens with the last 20 minutes all for Sale, blindness of the brit supporters, Owens does not like the french, how many evidences you will need before you understand the deep unfairness of Owens when he is the referee of the match where a...

A spot on comment I just read on the guardian : French flair which was this beautiful thing of the french rugby became finally his downfall. Why Training ? we have the french flair...Why adapting ? We can beat any team on the day..and so on. Utter arrogance.

Then we agree. The issue we have, as I explained in length on this topic, is a problem of a poor pool of french players. Players not fit to play the international level, not technically and physically adapted and trained to the requirement of today's international level. + obviously, a...
