French not entirely happy with yarpy selections...

These players are eligible, so why shouldn't they pick them?

"Because it's not right," says former French centre Richard Dourthe, one of the heroes of the French victory over the All Blacks at Twickenham in 1999, now manager of Dax. "I'm not dead set against the idea of picking foreigners for France - guys like [New Zealander] Tony Marsh brought something to the team. But you don't pick foreigners just because you can - you have to really need them.

Either they're something special, or there isn't any other option.

"Claasen and [Bernard] Le Roux are good players but we've got plenty of backrowers - you open a cupboard at a decent club and half a dozen guys of their ability fall out. Nakaitaci doesn't have a starting spot for his club, nor does [Daniel] Kotze.

 If you could take someone like Nalaga [Clermont and Fiji winger Napolioni Nalaga], fine, because he's a genuine heavyweight in the Lomu category and we just don't have wingers with that kind of profile. But for these guys, there are French players in the same position who are as good and who have the same potential."

Tell him to get back on his bidet, the players don't select themselves .

Bobbok these frogs are so over awed by Saffa players that they cant get enough signings.

However what they dont realise is that with Saffas and some others populating their teams there will soon be few frogs left to pick for the national side!

These NH oaks have NO pride and their imports of foreign players are a reflection of this. They digust me.
