What do you think ?

Lauret should be added or should they keep their three 8 and have them more fast at rucktime ?

Well, there needs to be some cover comes Ruck time.
Lauret can't do it by himself, the Locks are going to have put in a huge shift as will Ollivon.
I'd be happy if the French stay within 10 points (ideally more, but might be a bit premature), while putting on a decent performance. They have to rub off that disastrous 1/4 final.


@Lizard, he is a "craftier" French Flanker who steals a decent amount of ball in the French Championship. He has yet to prove his worth on the International Arena. Poor bugger, player under PSA, it will be interesting to see him play with a decent game plan.

(not a great video)

I honestly can't imagine what french team would beat the abs. We need mobility and power... and wingers that can defend...

I think Atonio can think himself lucky to be starting.
Dulin for Spedding is good, so if les Bleus can get the ball into some space for the Fijian wingers, we might see some action!

Goowan froggies! So much good work but too many turnovers and a winger in the wrong place!
