[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 629615, member: 57076"] right haha. Well the good news today is this: - France won't develop an actual gameplan overnight, and will therefor lose this. It's great we have talent and all, but come on...we're up against a Schmidt-led Ireland, there's no substitute for good tactics and chemistry. - France will therefor finish 4th, only above a Wooden Spoon winning Italy and the worst Scotland's ever been. - Ireland win a very well deserved tournament, and show forever to all sports enthusiasts alike what a quality coach can do for a team in a short period of time, and what an awful, clueless coach can do for the other team, despite having had 3 years with it. This is all good news because since PSA, France will have gone: 4th, 6th and 4th, an absolute nightmare by France's standards. It wasn't so long ago we basically either won the tournament, and if we beat England, won the Grand Slam. Now of course the level of Ireland and Wales has exponentially risen, but still. Perhaps this will help shake things up a bit and expose Saint-AndrÃ© just a bit more. I don't think they'll change the coach so "close" to the RWC, but then again they've got nothing to lose doing that because it's not like PSA has left any sort of structure or culture in the team that they would lose.
