I'm not buying what the media are saying, where does that come from ? And so you're basically, as my suspicions were drawing to, saying international Rugby shouldn't exist, at least for France. But I'm not interested in discussing this with you tbh because it's the same old record each time. You keep insinuating club is really all that matters and they should make no effort or feel any concern about the national team, and you keep hinting at the int'l game disappearing entirely being a good thing, but then you don't really answer clearly...you might as well say it as you really feel it, because this is just futile.
ah ah ah your crack me up BE sometimes. Never said nor implied Intl rugby shouldn't exist. You're the one saying that.
And yes. You're a bit gullible. The 30 Elite Group they've been selling to the media is one case in point. You swallowed it all. I've explained in previous posts why it's a load of BS. I'm not repeating.
Please state your conclusion once and for all and I'll reply to that.
My conclusion, personally, is clear: find a way for club and test Rugby to be cohabitant as smoothly as the English. Club Rugby I find is way too unimportant in the SH, and way too uncompetitive in the Celtic league. But it's just about right the way the English do it: they may not have as good teams as we do, but if we could keep our capital, class, but still play to the standards we should at test level, we would be right in the norm. Right in the "normal".
