[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 556276, member: 48703"] If a French fly half plays well enough then they will get opportunities to play at the big teams. Last season, Skrela and Beauxis were first choice for Clermont and Toulouse. They were both dropped for the reason that neither were good enough, both got their opportunities and didn't take them. Elsewhere in the league. Peyrelongue (Biarritz), Boyet (Bayonne) are first choice in their teams and have got caps with France but weren't good enough. Castres (Remi Tales), Bordeaux (Camille Lopez), Racing-Metro (Jonathan Wisniewski), Stade (Jules Plisson) all play French fly halves regularly as starters. Agen (Conrad Barnard) and Grenoble (Blair Stewart) both field fly halves qualified via residency. None of those players can claim to have had lack of opportunity. The only teams that haven't given an opportunity is Toulon and Perpignan, where Wilkinson and Hook always play. Other than those two, they have all given opportunities and have French qualified fly halves. [/QUOTE]
