I know that Australia spends a lot on encouraging young players, even attracting them from other countries to try a season with their youth teams. The son of a friend of ours who plays for an Auch youth team - originally form Wales -  was sponsored by an Australian team to spend a season there. Do the english teams have such a system?As with athletics, UK isn't prepared to spend enough on spotting and training new recruits. We lived in Hull for a long time and prefer to watch Rugby League - more exciting and less injuries.    Report

But only just I think. Dont write the French off just yet. This is pretty much form for them, except the defeat against the Pumas. Georgia and Namibia played the right game. Front it up, in your face and keep the ball. They have fierce and aggressive forwards and the picking and driving was great to see. They just hadnt got the experience to put us away.
