From our special correspondent in Cardiff,
The king is naked, even though he keeps a small towel in the event for the next weekend. The XV of France was returned to 80 minutes to his poor past years. Of course, there is a quarter-final to play, of course, New Zealand managed us, sometimes. But hot, it’s hard to believe. Here’s why.
The Myth of preparation collapses
The rise of the Iseran, the day with the GIGN, the Wattbike and all those NASA stuff out of us supposed to roll out worldwide this fall? Ben must believe that they had badly dosed effort. After 50 minutes to defend the country like madmen, the Blues have opened the floodgates of a sudden, completely burnt, while Ireland is barely warmed. Already level rugby is not that, if others also begin to prepare themselves better than us, it’s good.
Michalak is (still) not Wilkinson
It was written beforehand. Besides, we had a little writing ourselves. In 13 years of high level, Michalak never managed five good games in a row. It was therefore expect the cata Sunday. The Toulon missed a penalty (difficult) that could reassure everyone at the start, he was not involved in the management of the game in front and looked in vain for inspiration outside of a breakthrough soon subsided before the break. Sad. Predictable but sad.
We were crying null
Beyond the benefits of each other, go directly to the more hopeless. We got fold in half by Ireland, with all the respect we have for Ireland, obviously. 40 years as types did not beat us by more than 15 points 40 years. I know if you realize. Giscard years. And the worst is that we should have more morfler if Earls did not spoil a ready-made test in the first period.
The Blues do not seem to realize
If the Blues are found invalid, we assure you, this has not transpired in their post-match statements. We will not go as far as saying they took the side to the cool, but close. As if the Blacks and Argentina in the quarter, it was the same. “In the dressing room, we said we had not died, we wanted to continue this great adventure and that’s what we’ll do,” said Ben Arous us. Seriously, yes yes.
PSA has no plan B
If you expect a large sweep and reminders everywhere next Saturday, no enflammade. Saint-André has no plan B to offer anyone. He will die with his ideas, as they say; “We will review the game, see how the players recover, to the point at injuries. But it’s hard to say if there will be many changes in the team that will start against the All Blacks. “
Yet the blow of the feat against the All Blacks
The worst of the worst of the worst. Instead of overwhelming a team that deserves it, we will spend the week to revive the myth of the capital feat against New Zealand, as if the French rugby was reduced to hope for a miracle every four years face the best nation in the world. We apologize in advance for all the papers we will write about it before getting 30 pieces Saturday.
