Hope that JPB and Ferriol play v Nz for us, but for the good of the game I hope the refs lay down a marker and give them an extra game off. Alot is being made of it, but JPB got a red for his trouble and Ferriol's was a yellow card offence, so more than a game would be disproportionate.

I thought JPB's incident was lazy, Ferriols was stupidity borne out of frustration

Tired rather than lazy, I thought, but not malicious either way. Ferriol was just an idiot.

I was surprised with how well he played. I made a post on the VT mid week saying I thought Bentley would struggle, complete opposite, one of the best on the pitch.

Any news on Fakir? Is he out of the tournament too? Looks like you are going to be a bit short on quality props too now, any ideas who's going to play there vs the Kiwis?

Bently has been class all season, he did the same thing internationally as he's been doing for us all year. The only real question is why he isn't first choice hooker.

Excellent. He hasn't had much of a chance at club level for the last two years, but it's good to see the brothers playing for the same side.

In the French squad? What happened to Le Bobbie giving the youth a chance
