[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 618860, member: 57076"] well don't forget France have their share of injured players too: Dusautoir, Guitoune, Parra, Lauret, Ouedraogo, Fritz, Lopez - namely. The only one I'm not too piissed about is Parra, ironically, one of our best players; because I really really wanted Doussain to get some playing time. Hopefully PSA understands his value and starts him ahead of Machenaud, but I've got to say I'd much rather have had Parra starting (in stead of Machenaud) against a team like England... I reckon our starting centre pair will be Fofana-Bastareaud, which will be a handful for whoever England picks at midfield. One a writhing oiled up eel, the other a little rhino. So in a way, I'm OK with Fritz out... We get to try out Antoine Burban too, so Ouedra out is..tolerable. A big tackler, dunno about his fetching quite yet. We'll only play one fly-half the whole tournament. Rémi Talès. Was really, really looking forward to seeing youngster Jules Plisson...... Interestingly, Phillipe Saint-André and co. have chosen to pick an extra forward in the 23 and one less back. Maybe this is in view of this crunch matchup in specific, but it seems that's the group he's picked for the whole tournament apparently. Just one flyhalf, and an extra 3rd row... [/QUOTE]
