apart from him I can't find a single player inferior to his opposite number.[/b]


Bastareaud and Parra are only 20 and represents only 3 caps together, can you reasonably claim that they're better than experienced internationals players like Tindall and Ellis ?!

(yes you can)

But I'm so used to see us losing against England that I will not risk any optimistic prediction.
 
of course Parra is better than Ellis, just compare their 2 performances in the last round, doesn't take a genius to see that.
 
Yes, I was a bit sceptical at the beginning but his maturity and assurance for his age are really impressive. He will improve even more at Clermont next year I guess.
 
more likely that Flutey will be on the receiving end of some huge breaks from Bastareaud.
 
Quins showed how to stop Bastardwhateverhisnameis so Tindall should be fine. England to win by 5-7points due to France not being able to string two decent games together. Please dont expect too much excitement.
 
well to beat England at the moment won't require the same level of performance as it did to beat Wales.
 
Why do they insist on having some woman scream over the best anthem. (French one obviously)
 
fairly dreadful rendition again, only decent version on the road has been at Croke Park.
 
well ok getting a bit ahead of myself beating a back rower and offloading isn't exactly signs of a revival.
