[QUOTE="ZeFrenchy, post: 522088, member: 47244"] They also have Kubriashvili at tighthead, who kept Hayman on the bench for more than a season. He was destroyed by Steenkamp last final though. FernÃ¡ndez Lobbe is the first choice #8 (or is expected to be when he's back), and Pierrick GÃ¼nther (good player) is the cover for Van Niekerk. Michalak is there to play 10, as welshglory said. At least, that's what both player and coach have told the press. Mermoz was supposed to rotate with Giteau at 12, but they started him at 13 on the season opener... I hope they play him at 12, as there is where he is needed for France. What I dislike about Toulon is that they make every effort possible for their players not to represent their country. Their side is full of internationals, but only a few that currently play for their country, and I'm sure they'll do everything possible to keep the likes of Gethin Jenkins and the Armitages during the test windows.
