Not good enough. 10 French eligibles but 13 forrigners, that's moving backwards on the developing French players front. Sa is a Bacrow/Centre, like Raguin. I think he's compettition for the other Backrow or Centres, but a definate? Interesting choice to put Fakir as a prop (have we lost Guisset then?) and Johnson & Raguin second row (so not the position they've played in a year) over Elima (!) and Fakir - I suppose it's to fit Mounis into the side?



Bell, WHAT'S THE POINT???

Although not in squad of 25. Barthau & Guasch are added in the 25

Indeed. Squad numbers are [url=http://www.sang-et-or.net/viewpage.php?page_id=51here[/url



Raguin at #3. I guess that means he has finally arrived as a centre and will have to rescind his back rowers union membership.

Bartheau and Guash in the 25 but not Gigot? Strange as Bartheau has been threatening to break into the first-team and Gigot is playing for St-Esteve/XIII Catalan but Guash has vanished.

Gigot has been given #25

So 4 french halves in the 25 and 2 ozzies who can play in halves. A bit of overkill no? I just hope that they get their chance and don't end up in the wilderness between St Esteve and the Dragons.
