No Nyanga? Is he injured?

Just had Lauret preferred over him. The two flankers that were kept are likely to start, unless one of the 8s is used as a flanker. I don't know much about Lauret though, I'm not really able to watch Racing games without falling asleep after 20 minutes (or Biarritz' last season).
Lauret played beautifully last game I saw him in Paris (week before last?)................
He had a very bad concussion that kept him off the field for three months at the end of last year. I think he can be a super player but is prone, as most 3rd liners, to give away penalties but good carrier and scavenger!
Le XV de France:
Dulin - Huget, Fritz, Fofana, Médard - (o) Talès, (m) Parra - Lauret, Chouly, Dusautoir (cap) - Papé, Maestri - Mas, Kayser, Forestier
Remplaçants : Szarzewski, Debaty, Slimani, Vahaamahina, Claassen, Doussain, Lopez, Fickou
Well there we go guys! No surprises there really given the choice we had.
... can't say it inspires too much confidence tho
Yeah we still have a fighting chance to pull something off
This time last year we were ****ing ourselves hoping Australia wouldn't put 60points past us again but had a brilliant game!
So everyone complains about the "overworked" French teams in the Top 14 yet they are on their first of two holiday weekends (I know that one Bayonne player is in Dubai since immediately after their game last week) this season........................where are Toulouse and Racing this weekend..............why playing a friendly...............where.....................in Hong bleeding Kong!!!
End of over worked french team players argument!!!!!

This way they get their hols paid for by their respective clubs professional through and through old chap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! most of them had a long weekend booked in Blackpool before the friendly was arranged.
Well today is the day that we either continue having an abysmal year or make a come back in true Frenchie style! ��
I was thinking last night about how badly we've done this year and how we came last in the 6Nations for the 1st time since 1999! �� but then I thought 1999 ey?? That's the same year we had that historical 43-31win in the RWC semi-finals against the All Blacks! �� so I've decided it must be an omen and that history will repeat itself! Strangers things have happened! �� Allez Les Bleus! ����

So close!
France were better but you have to give credit to the ALL BLACKS every time they get the ball they are dangerous there are always 2 players on the shoulders of the ball carrier, they are at their best and are going to be difficult to beat by anyone.
