[QUOTE="Toulousain ex French fan, post: 1214875, member: 89793"] But this is partly a reflection of Galthié's own mindset. He keeps experimenting sometimes at the expense of winning. Five years in the job he should make winning the 6N his no1 priority. If he did he wouldn't chop and change with three different 10s in as many games like he did. We didn't need a 7-1 split vs Italy either... Leave experimenting for the AI in November and developing depth for the June tour. He is responsible for the players mindset and while they talk of winning I find their focus is not set, they talk the talk because it's what the media want to hear, but it didn’t translate vs England. This is a coaching issue. Galthié is always defending his record. He is proud of his ''80% win ratio'' that quite frankly nobody gives a **** about. In his first interview of the championship before the Welsh game he was at it again, defending his record as if his job was at stake. Dupont was present and said he didn't care about an 80% win ratio, he wanted to win the 6N. Toulouse want fill their trophy cabinet, not ponce about some win ratio in CCup. The talk around the 7-1 split is a red herring for the media. Against Italy, it's pretty meaningless. I agree that the team's mindset is somewhat questionable and they will need a focus I have not seen so far to win in Dublin. [/QUOTE]
