Re: 6 Nations 2020
I would call up Raka, is he fit?

As good as Dupont is, Serin is a seriously good understudy.

Re: 6 Nations 2020
I do hope Dupont is fit, he makes the game worth watching on his own.
Looking at the fixtures this weekend, I was trying to think tactically. With France unbeaten so far and their wonderfully entertaining style against Wales, already down one and capable of stopping a grand slam, who do I support? But of course, the rugby equivalent of the Gordian knot came to my rescue, it’s obvious, ABW and let the other games look after themselves.
Allez les bleus!!

In my defence, I was left unsupervised….

Oui, Allez les Bleus! I’ve a feeling in my ol’ bones that we’re witnessing the renaissance of the French XV that could culminate in winning their 2023 World Cup!loretta wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 9:08 am I do hope Dupont is fit, he makes the game worth watching on his own.

Re: 6 Nations 2020
Les Bleus for Cardiff:
15. Bouthier, 14. Thomas; 13. Vakatawa, 12. Vincent; 11. Fickou; 10. Ntamack, 9. Dupont; 7. Ollivon (cap), 8. Alldritt, 6. Cros; 5. Willemse, 4. Le Roux; 3. Haouas, 2. Marchand, 1. Baille
16. Chat, 17. Gros, 18. Bamba, 19. Taofifenua, 20. Cretin, 21. Serin, 22. Jalibert, 23. Ramos
Good to have Chat on the bench. Him and Marchand will be the French hookers for quite a few years.
One worry is the line out, which isn't as reliable as I would have liked. Willemse is a big lump and needs a forklift truck to get him off the ground. However, Taofifenua offers more and I hope gets more than 20 minutes or so.

Re: 6 Nations 2020
Who the hell is Cretin? I would have Tolofua over him, shame Poirot hasn't made the cut either but a good team who I hope will do the job over Wales.

Re: 6 Nations 2020
I think le Roux, Cros and Ollivon are the lineout options.

Re: 6 Nations 2020
Dylan Cretin (let's hope he doesn't live up to his surname come Saturday evening!) is a wing forward with Lyon and is there because I think there's a doubt about Tolofua's fitness.

Re: 6 Nations 2020
I am really enjoying the Wales V France game. France under the defence guidance of Edwards are playing great. But Jonathan Davies needs to calm himself in commentary and be less biased. He was almost wetting his pants over the yellow card that never came in the corner. Poor. Also Bigger..ssshhh. Stop your chatting back. You are class and don’t need to.
There is never any points for 2nd place...
Re: 6 Nations 2020
What a win for France, personally I think Willemse was a bit lucky but you get what you give. Biggar try had a forward pass in the buildup.

Re: 6 Nations 2020
Oof Pivac is not happy with the decision re Bamba.
