[QUOTE="barthelemy, post: 790681, member: 56370"] You misunderstood. waht Casteigned and Cheika have explained is that France is still dreaming about his lost French flair and they are trying to find it back. As Cheika said, it is a good project, a good ideal and I agree, Noves is certainly the right coach for this, he was the successful 20 years coach of the Toulouse team which was aboslutely dominant back in 2000 (Maybe this is the issue, we are not in 2000 anymore :P). However, the issue is that you need the right players to apply it, players that have Stamina and be consistent. Sadly, this is not the case and I do nto see this changing soon. We are still with a generation of french players that did not train properly when they were younger. The french U20 for example looks different animals and I have hope for the future. [/QUOTE]
