Has learned to pass...

and he's found a mate...

GOOD

He looked bloody good, didn't he? And yer Fijian lad enjoyed giving the Samoans one.

If Fofana can continue to pass the ball...
Lamerat also looked a lot better since playing at Clermont.
I also really liked the back row, fairly big, mobile and with some decent ball handling skills...
But let's not get carried away, it was "only" Samoa with 4 days practice as a team.

sure, but something is starting to smell good..

It didn't look like a mediocre team taking advantage of a worse one. The French were skilled, fluid and cohesive. A bit of a worry really.

Well, I won't get carried away, nope..

I just think Australia will be able to slow down French Ball come Ruck time which probably make it more difficult.

Aussie couldn't even properly contain the molasses-like pace of Visser and Dunbar. You've as good as got it won.

Visser was quite easily contained, bar one action. Dunbar is a big powerful fecker(although he did seem to be moving like a tanker).Also, Hooper and Pocock were fairly busy with what was in the Scottish backrow. I don't see any "crafty" players in the French team to counter the Pooper threat. But I have been wrong in the past, and will probably be wrong again...probably.

I think Ollivon might have a say about that..
