French Squad for Scotland
No Chabal. Or has he retired from international rugby?
Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!
France have only called up their 22 not 30 or so. William Servat is playing the rugby of his life and I would have expected him to be first choice. In a team which has a lot of not very experienced international players I would think it is a good idea to have an old head even though he won't go through to the World Cup. I'm a huge Kayser fan and his time will come. I think its better to choose the 22 and not have players lurking around in and out and getting demoralised. I'm sure if either Servat or Dimitri are injured he will be called up.
Jauzion is injured.
Mignoni isn't there what would England give for him at the moment.
A big lack of props and I think (but am not sure) that Servat can prop but not Kayser.
Nice to see a national coach causing he least disruption possible to the leaugue teams.

There is a God! Losing another key member of the front row union would have been very costly.
Shouldn't be the case of course! No play offs, letters on the backs, town crest on the chest, no games during the internationals, tweakers get what they deserve, jumpers for goalposts!
Sorry, sorry, Remy's gone to me head!

I think Marc Lievremont is picking very much on form and for the future. Servat is in as he helps those around him and one or two old heads are needed. As Marc Has come from France under 21 World Champion team via Dax who he took to the premiership he has a very good knowledge of the younger players and those from the less fashionable teams. He has decdided to start from scatch almost and build a team for 2011. There are a lot of Montpellier kids in there and if you read the french forums they all rave about them. Picamole (who I don't think is even there) ran rings round Chabal in the Challenge Cup last week.Maybe he is wrong, maybe he is right, but he's picking on form
