[QUOTE="FrenchFan, post: 978412, member: 70871"] They were lucky IMO. They were in a relatively easy pool (easier than the other 3), won Arg with a roll of the dice (Lopez drop goal), a 3pt squeaky bum win over Tonga and didn't have to face England. It's called riding your luck. Yes we have the players. But everything else is missing. You can't do poorly in the 6N (as they have since 2010) and expect to win the RWC. It starts with winning the 6 Nations first. I'm not being negative. Just realistic. In the absence of a qualified and seasoned test coach we'll likely get another 4-year cycle of musical chair selection and funny coaching. Galthié is an excellent technician but an experienced test coach with the ability to rally both his staff and the players he ain't. [/QUOTE]
