[QUOTE="FrenchFan, post: 628679, member: 70871"] There's nothing weird about the gap btw Lagisquet as a player and Lagisquet as a coach. The reason is that rugby has changed so much since he was a player, and you can't coach flair. You are correct about him and Biarritz. Their game plan was built around their pack and Yachvili. But it did the job at the time. He is the worst backline coach who could have got the job. Everybody knows that here. Lagisquet got the job because he is in with the suits at FFR and shook hands with the right people at the right time, politics...Nothing will change in the coaching staff of FRA until next RWC. I'd be amazed if anything happened. FFR don't do sacking, they do public hanging, but not sacking. Not the same. Ask Lievremont. Ah well.. But your idea of french rugby is amusing because its a caricature. The domestic league here has ALWAYS been about forward power and not back play. I've always heard as a kid and since my grandad days about the "battle of the packs", it was all about the game btw the forwards, and also btw the best kickers. So much for backs running with flair...so from that point of view, the Biarritz of Lagisquet were NOT an anomaly. On the contrary. [/QUOTE]
