All Blacks Sevens wary of ‘challenging pool’ in London

You teach people how to treat you I guess.

Also, your English isn’t great. So it makes it difficult to understand what you’re trying to communicate half the time.

If I was wrong you’d point it out, but you can’t because I’m not.

It just feels like the right thing to happen. Just to make life interesting.

I’m going to use some mind power techniques tonight to manifest a one point win for France tomorrow.

Also, it’s fun to say. Like Francisco.

Bollocks.

The best proof for that is that Beauden kicked that penalty a few minutes before, because there was just a 1 point difference and that any penalty in the ABs side of the field would’ve been an occasion for France to take it.

- Montpellier, 9th

- Racing 92, 10th

- Stade Français, 12th

All three barely saved themselves from relegation in the last couple of championship rounds.

How is it working for millionaire/billionaire to turn up their club into giant “cash cow”? (your words) if they are underachievers? or maybe Altrad, Lorenzetti & Wild are the ones being milked at the end, won’t you agree with that?

In fact, I did mention those three clubs and pointing that the real club power over FFR was achieved by their performance thru the number of their players available for selection, but not by sinking any large amount of money by contracting random big names from other countries.

All the rest, Vichy shutting down League, false amateurism, whatever it was about, seems utterly irrelevant to me about this summer tour selection. And yes, there would be some money and sponsors involved and lots of contract signed too, like if Top 14 was actually some kind of real professionnal sport League.

Toulouse will never pay a player above €600K, that’s what they say; Dupont’s €480K was back in 2022 when he gets elected player of the year; at 25, he still had a very well paid “Espoir” contract dating back from recruitment. What Toulouse did with Jaminet was actually common practice. Some people (Fiducial?) will always find some loophole, except that, this time, someone in between seems to have kept the money for himself.

PS: being able to upvote all your own posts seems legitimate but it’s really looking a bit insecure to me.

In Japan in 2022, because Toulouse, UBB, Toulon and La Rochelle didn’t get to the Top14 final, there were more first team players, with some of them being players returning from serious injuries like Ollivon.

And yet, they played quite poorly.

I’d like to see the introduction of a measure of Aura. Get a sense of where the ABs Aura is at this stage.

Discuss.
