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.

Andrew Bentley joins French squad in Toulouse tomorrow

..... & apparently Artie Shead from Limoux also

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

Crikey. Desperation comes in strange forms these days. When was the last time he played for the national side - 1997?

Baile out for Sat. due to knee injury. Greeny & Pelo in doubt, both bedridden with flu

That will be funny then, 4 of our starting 17 out, 3 of them essentially irreplacable.

Greeny named in the squad at least. F--- knows what we do if he's badly come game time. [url=http://www.sang-et-or.net/readarticle.php?article_id=646Preview[/url

I'm very close to Benji and I can tell he's really up for this one

Beginning to wonder if the game will be on. This flu outbreak may be worse than has so far been reported.

Anyway, here's your 17:
Villegas; Piquemal, Sadaoui, Duport, Vaccari; Bosc, Wynne; Shead, K Bentley, Griffi; Elima, Touxagas; Fakir. Moly, A Bentley, Martins, Gagliazzo.

Andrew's first action as a Test player: poleax Steve Matai... Good work feller.

Bloody well played in that first 40.

Played for 40 minutes last week, 50 this. Can we get up to an hour against the Ockers?

It's a cruel game sometimes. Like taking on a Vickers heavy machine gun with a peashooter at the back end. Still, lots of credit to the lads.
Pub for me. Report later.

Booya.

This was one heck of an inexperienced side we fielded, to compete for 50 mins is more than we should have expected, well done lads!

Looking forward to seeing how the team lined up, who were our centres and who was our fullback?

Report in progress. The side was: Villegas; Piquemal, Sadaoui, Duport, Vaccari; Bosc, Wynne; Shead, Kane, Griffi; Elima, Touxagas; Fakir. Andrew, Moly, Gagliazzo, Martins.

So Villegas at FB?
Wings Piquemal and Vaccari
Centres Sadaoui and Duport
And they go on about an inexperienced English backline!

Second half saw a very, very nervous Villegas switched to wing with Bosc at full-back. Moly off the bench to half.

Vaccari got through some work. France gifted the Kiwis two tries and the referee matched that. That's 24 points that were handed to New Zealand on a plate. Very enthusiastic crowd and plenty of singing going on in and out of the ground.

Possible recall for Khattabi?

Read somewhere that he's injured.
