You are right. Our inconsistance come from far and at first from a lake of a good rugby scool among the youth, among our litlle village. It's basic. If I'm looking what happen in the small club where my son are playing , it's a shame. It's not question of money, it's a question of WILL. You can play a good rugby even if the field it's just a grass for cow, or without shoes. But you can't play a good rugby if there are no disciplin, overall when you are a young teen-ager and start to learn a hard sport. I can't understand, sometime they play with 12 players because I don't know why? They are obliged to ask the adversaries to rent a player!!! How it can work? Rugby is at first a pleasure, Ok, but if you engage yourself in a team you have to be consequent, with the training, with the competition, it's a mark of respect for the rugby it-self but also for the tiny club you belong even if it is the badest club of the area, for your friends with you are playing with, and a mark of proud of ourself. How we can build something good with this mentality of dolce vita (sorry for our Italians-friends) . Then you have Toulon with these stars, who I love such Wilkinson, but we say in french "c'est l'arbre qui cache la forêt". The three which hide the forest. How many little town and village have his own club? And in this little club may a french Wilkinson can appear!! We need foreigners, like good english players or NZ, or SA player because they bring they own experience, culture, way to do, it's a good things to improve the level , but at the same times we have to support all this hidden rugby little clubs, and the begining of all this story it's disciplin.
The worst example his in football how with the money Paris, become a big club. Absolut artificial. There are no more soul. And hope that the rugby evolution will avoid this sad example.
By the way: félicitation au Pays de Galle! Congretulation Wales!
