Has France found their new coach?

Rumours out of France suggest that ex-Toulon head-coach Fabien Galthié will shortly be unveiled as the new French coach for the next World Cup cycle.

Galthié will join the current coaching set-up for the World Cup as a skills coach with an eye to taking over as head once the Japanese tournament comes to a close.

Galthié played over 60 matches for the French national side and captained the team when Bernard Laporte was coach, back in the early 2000’s. Laporte is now president of the French Rugby Federation and no doubt the previous relationship between the two men has played a part in the new arrangement.

Whilst other coaches from around the world have been linked with the position, the FFR recently announced that they would be looking to bring in a French national, based on the desires of the domestic coaches of France’s TOP 14 competition.

If they get enough pre signatures then that puts pressure on RFU, no real risk to Smith.

Fissler Confidential: Smith, Morgan and Suaalii linked with mega moves

Sydney’s Daily Telegraph reports that it is by no means certain that Suaalii, who has won eight Wallabies caps, will move to another Super Rugby franchise from the Tahs, who finished eighth in the 11-team competition.

Do you mean “won’t” move to another club?

'The Wallabies only have themselves to blame': How the Lions sunk Australia in Melbourne

Is that you CarlO? All kidding aside, what Rassie did was a disgrace. I’m a 100% supporter of the rugger ethos: the refs are untouchable. And should remain so… Rassie’s status is related to his success, but his worst moment should not be forgotten & guarded against. In games, I’d love to see the refs doing more 10m marches.

Five talking points as British and Irish Lions show Australia no mercy

C’mon, show some mercy just like AUS showed this average, overhyped, BILs team all the mercy in both very winnable tests so far.

As for Furlong, yes, a LION's great.👍

The Black Ferns' youth factor kicking in ahead of World Cup

The best attacking Black fern Women players have not been available to Bunting as eveyone knows who follows the Black ferns know they are in the Black fern sevens team. World sevens Champions, Back to back Commonwealth Champions and Back to back OLympic Champions! They have superior fitness levels and Mental fortitude that has been lacking in the 15’s team, but you will all find out soon enough.

Lowe’s been one of the most threatening in the backline, just because it hasn’t worked out doesn’t mean it won’t. He has already gone past the age where wingers start declining though and VDM deserves a test.

Nine-time All Black Braydon Ennor the latest Crusaders re-signing

For me, Dallas is one of those midfielders who’s able to play both 12/13 at a high level. But yeah, Havilli has #12 locked.

The PWR not only benefits the Red Roses, many other nationalities play in it especially Canadians and Americans but as far as I am aware no French. Their league is very strong as well.

Exactly, always jams in as doesn't have that electric pace required to go on the outside like Telea, etc.

Michael Cheika: Gravitational shift on cards when All Blacks host Springboks

He’s actually suggesting the ABs flip it on SA and dominate them with their set piece power game.

If you’re trying to say “bring it on then”, good on you, NZ won most of the games with free flowing rugby instead, so SA can do the same to them if they get it right too.

Significantly more experienced, larger and faster. Also more valuable to the team as midfielder also. No comparison.

For me it’s the way it effects his ability to put aways chances where he’s givin plenty of space down the sidelines. He always jams in when he should be scoring in the corner.
