France - 2

.
So France lost to England in London. 3 loses in three games, out of five games total to be played... with a game in Ireland to come, and a last game in Paris against Scotland.

The forwards had a decent game, touch, scrum, pick and go, defense.
They got cught by a quick English tryfollowing a lost ball in a ruck, it's part of rugby...!
They also got caught by the referee for a couple of deadly penalties in the rucks, but on the other hand the referee saw twice a ball kept on the ground by an English player, fighting to keep it...! and... he gave a penalty against France a few seconds later... Not that it would have given the victory to France, but... hard to accept from the same South African referree who reffed the final between All Blacks and France... I recommend to keep an eye on him for the future games of the French team...

The backs were useless, except the only time they went to the aisle, and Fofana (12) ran and scored.
Later on, the backs should have opened to the aisle and worked on some combinations beween the centre, the wing and the full back...?

In resume, work on the rucks, chane the backs, and chang the ref...!

The coach said training obviously was not efficient... I agree...
The only question left is when will France change coaches, before or after getting the wooden spoon...?

France

.
For the game against England Saturday, the French managers have changed more than half of the players who lost the last game (and the game before...).
If France loses again, they will be serious contender for the wooden spoon of the 6 Nations tournament, with thee games lost out of three and another game to be played in Ireland...
I was wondering what will it take to change the managers of the French team and get a preparation based more on physical fitness, speed and support, drills and... less brain... it's rugby, not chess...!
