In the 6 nations tournament, France got the wooden spoon trophy today for being last... bit more than one year after playing the world final against New Zealand...
One of the issue is that half or more of the scrum half and fly half in France are now foreigners... so that makes for a smaller reservoir when international games come... a bit the same issue with the England soccer team... too many foreigner players in the English championship reduce the reservoir for high level soccer players when international games come up...
France finished behind Ireland, and both finished behind... Italy, who beat Ireland today in Italy. The day before St Patrick day...! what happened to the luck of the Irish...? Maybe the new Pope Francis in Rome wanted to celebrate... the St Joseph coming up March 19 against March 17 for the St Patrick...?
England lost to Wales today, so Wales won the tournament with 4 victories. I'll remind you that Wales has the least number of inhabitants of the 6 nations, by a landslide...
How many people in Wales... France, England, Italy have more than 60 millions... Wales... 6 millions? no...3 millions... including kids and grandparents...
But 90% of the adults are working in a farm or in a pub, of which 50% play rugby...
All other sports than rugby are forbidden in Wales... or so it seems to me... a bit like New Zealand...
The All Blacks and the All Reds... Well done Wales! and the way they played rugby against England today... just watch the game... superb... Bravo...
