Well Pryce was on the bench, but clearly not fit. He only played the last 7 minutes. And when Mounis went off injured, we were playing with 15 - something entirely of our own making. People will talk about whether Danny McGuire should have walked for the high shot on King Louis XIX, but it was team selection that was the root cause.

I said two years ago that with that many etrangers we'd best win something, or we'd just have wasted years of french development.

Out outgoing coach was better than his predecessor, but we are more dependent on etrangers now than we were two years ago.
