France

have lost Willemse for the tournament as well as N’tamack. 

Danty and Baille are out of the NZ match too. 

That is sad for France to loose those guys….we will have to wait and see how it impacts them.

Absolutely. It’s got to be destabilising for them. 

A person can only feel for any Rugby player that misses out on playing in the WC due to injury or Personal circumstances….you don’t only need to be strong physically but also mentally very tough to play Rugby on this level.

Very true. 

I’ve known a few internationals and they’ve been very tough mentally as well as physically. 

I also studied Sports Psychology  

That’s nice Becs….what would you say about the psychological state here on Ruckers Forum? Couple on here might be Patient material.:) :) just kidding ha ha

Oh yes, the psychologists would have a field day here  

So I suppose the Rugby teams have psychologists also on there coaching staff to help players cope with mental strain? Rugby has become quite complicated.

Yeah they do. 

There’s too many back room staff if you ask me.
