That's potentially ruined the tournament and the jeopardy in their pool. He's a huge loss for them.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2023 8:56 am Just seen Fijian fly half Muntz is out of the tournament...

Re: World Cup Squad Announcements
The French team to crush the ABs has been announced!
1. Wardi, 2. Marchand, 3. Atonio, 4. Woki, 5. Flament, 6. Cros, 7. Ollivon, 8. Alldritt, 9. Dupont (cap.), 10. Jalibert, 11. Villière, 12. Moefana, 13. Fickou, 14. Penaud, 15. Ramos
16. Mauvaka, 17. Gros, 18. Aldegheri, 19. Taofifenua, 20. Boudehent, 21. Lucu, 22. Vincent, 23. Jaminet
I worry a bit about the scrummaging of Atonio. He's a big lump but sometimes struggles in the tight and the ABs scrum will surely be formidable.

Hi Robespierre, What his replacement like; I don't think I've seen him play.

Re: World Cup Squad Announcements
Dorian Aldegheri of Toulouse, who's more than competent.
The second rows, although strong in the lineouts, may lack grunt in the tight scrum, and I've always believed that a tighthead prop is better with a heavy solid second row, which is my reasoning with my doubts about Atonio.

No Baille,no Willemse,no Danti,no Ntamack. Huge losses and great players. Tough one to call,I'll tell you one thing though the AB won't be as bad as against SA.

Re: World Cup Squad Announcements
That's such a shame. Obviously they have a lot of quality, but that reliable kicker seemed like it might be a bit of a game changer for them.Hot_Charlie wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2023 9:34 amThat's potentially ruined the tournament and the jeopardy in their pool.

Re: World Cup Squad Announcements
I think he offered them far more than any other 10 they've had in many years. As one commentator I saw earlier has said, that's one injury in this RWC that could prove catastrophic for the nation involved.Tiglon wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2023 5:24 pmThat's such a shame.
