[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 628938, member: 57076"] but the Top 14 is just another money story. It's yet another Lord of The Rings (or the Nibelungun myth to be more historical/authentic) story. Power. It corrupts the hearts of men. Simple as that, and I'm not even being poetic. It started out as one thing, French clubs. It was also the perfect and necessary setup to develop and later pick young talents for the national team. But it's lost that calling. Because teh monneh. Top 14 clubs will just about buy anything or anyone just to have but a slight chance to make anything out of their season, domestic or H Cup. And they don't care that those 'someones' they buy are blue, black or wear the most enormous afro you've ever seen. It doesn't matter that they're not French. In fact, starting from now with the new agreement they'll be looking for more int'ls. Of course there are still good players being developed 100% locally, home grown. Toulon even has some fine players they've developed, and given the amount of int'l foreigners there, these French guys do get some decent time, it should be said... But a good example of French talent being suffocated is one that takes place exactly in that same and very Toulon. Alexis Palisson is done with them, he never ever gets any time and he's moving to Toulouse next year. Anyways. Let's try to stay on topic: France's unpredictability, ergo invincibility and Ireland losing the ***le in Paris. [/QUOTE]
