French Second rowers

[Tony Manx]

France has ALWAYS had quality players. The only problem is this calendar. We play 20 more games or wtvr than everybody !!...

See the post on "Too many games" thread and then answer it..........I do tno think that there that many players playing in excess of 30 games in France and there are regulations in place to cover that situation.........do not feel this can ever be used as an excuse.......................30 weekends means 20 when they are not playing!!!

ABOUT SECOND ROWERS:
wtvr happened to Jérome Thion ?!Hewas even captain at one point, then just disappeared from the bleus forever...used to be called "bras", for obvious reasons !

Thion had had his time as an international (and apparently likes to surf which does not do your rugby that much good).....however, he had quite a good season 2011/12 but only played 652 minutes last season through injury, is now 35 and there is some doubt whether he has been offered another contract at BO but without Serge making any announcment about his playing squad for next season, who knows.....mind you with their dedication to loyalty at all costs (what a one way street that is!!) it is always possible he could make his 39th Birthday under contract.......!!

It is not that the players do not have the skill level but the balancing act of rugby itself. Teams like SA and England do not play less attractive rugby cause they can't pass or offload

Is this Sifplay some kind of wind up merchant he talks BOLLO...'s why do people contribute when they dont contribute, feels like a forum of a SA lavatory cleaner, full of shi.......
but then if thats all he can do i do feel sorry for the guy. The French DO not buy AND ARE NOT ALLOWED to buy every foreigner who can hold a rugby ball as there is a little thing called Jiff its French, very complicated and very very very difficult to understand so look it up on a French web site and tell me how you get on, then maybe we may have an understanding of what's happening in France and why most of the best players in the world end up here at some time or other, playing highly competitive and well paid rugby why should the footie guys get all the cash !!!!!!!!!!! but then what would i know i only live here!!!!!

Not at all mate. I do have a point. And its sad for me to see the direction the french are heading in. Especially when they start to think bigger is better. Guys like Dominice or Blanco would not even be considered for todays French team cause they will be seen as too small.
