[QUOTE="austingtir, post: 762320, member: 54150"] I get where your coming from but in all honestly I find this post as blind as the french players themselves. In the lead up to this match I watched highlights of the majority of the french backline on youtube. The majority of this appeared to be from the top14. Lets just say what I saw did not fill me with fear in any shape or form. The french competition your players are playing in is ****. France as a whole has nobody to blame for this performance than themselves and I honestly believe its a direct result of hiring in old has beens and even some good players from other countrys into your competitions. If anybody on here is wondering how the French missed so many tackles go and watch highlights of these french backline players. Now obviously it doesnt show them missing tackles it shows them beating them but the standard of rugby I saw is honestly schoolboy stuff over here in NZ. The fact of the matter is these french players are playing in inferior competitions day in day out. And that goes for the whole of europe for that matter not just France! I expect this to pull all the usual european trolls out of the woodwork on here. But instead of slinging mud I suggest you lot prove me wrong! [/QUOTE]
