Why so? Scotland turned up in the second half!
One thing we've learnt from this comp is that the elite 1 is garbage. We need a second French team in the championships ASAP to give the French a wider player pool playing at a higher level to pick from
Yep Ricky, the Elite IS garbage and a second french team in the top flight is imperative. Toulouse continue to do a good job with the Academy making them the best of a mediocre bunch. The Academy set-up would improve within the SL framework IMO.
Re- the French national team : We are no further now than when Bobby was sacked after the previous debacle in Albi. What have we learned in those years ? The inclusion of Remi, Morgan & others would probably made the difference but what has been the contribution of Mr Agar ? The poor performance against the USA last year was the writing on the wall for me with some pretty negative tactics against a well drilled Materson side.
This squad can do better and us faithful who slog it out the Elite games deserve better too...
