      Scott Robertson names his 35-man All Blacks squad for France series

      Great team. I really hope the All Blacks give France their biggest defeat in Test History.


      Fabien Galthie: “I have no choice but to select a second-choice squad for their upcoming three-Test series against the All Blacks in New Zealand in July”


      As explained by the FFR (Fédération Française de Rugby), Fabien Galthié will be allowed to:

      – Select a group of 42 players, composed primarily of players who had played little to no game time in the previous Six Nations.


      – Five players in total from the Top 14 finalists can be in the squad. However, those who have already played a certain number of games [not stipulated by any of the parties] can’t be included.


      It suits Galthie’s aspirations for the next World Cup to tour with a second choice squad. No doubt the tour will ‘produce a star or two for France.


      Let’s hope the All Blacks start well in the First Test of the series and sit the frogs on their arse.


      Galthie is also allowed to bring French players to N.Z. who didn’t play in the First Test.


      If France B, excel in the first test, I am pretty sure Galthie won’t be calling on his French Test players.


      Let’s hope the All Blacks turn the French into "cuisses de grenouille"
