Ganu, I'm dubbing you honorary French. For what you do on this forum, you're worthy of it.
Now if we could fix his teeth and have him grow a chin, he could really look French... ;)

Well, considering that it was coming from someone who lives in France, it probably isn't difficult to figure out.
And yes, there are plenty of French people on here, or expats, or francophiles, which you would naturally expect on any international BS forum.

We'll have to live with this fact, I'm afraid. Nobody's perfect.
For interested people, a little bit of rugby culture :

And I know promoting rugby on a soccer forum is a tedious behaviour. I just can't help it.

about 30 seconds after guignol jr. and i turned on the set bonnaire scored his try. i don't know what the heck happened before then, but based on what i saw and the great stuff they did running up the the tournament, france still looks like they can win it.

Congratulations for the Scots, they offered us a splendid game. Fair sport, fair victory. With the Scots back and Italy* playing better every year, this tourny is starting to look good (albeit harder to win).
* Of course, everyone but the ref saw Italy beating Ireland.

For some reason, I can't find the full length one. Which goes on about cuisine etc. :D
Basically: Britain > France :D
But then we all move to France to live there and you come here to study. So its one nice relationship.

Well France came back to beat Ireland at the SdF.
However, despite looking dominant at 43-3, they managed to suffer a huge brain-fart and couldn't see it out and ended up 43-31. Some serious jitters from the back.
Also in other codes, new Superleague team Catalan Dragons from Perpignan beat early favourites Wigan 38-30. Who can remember the late and sadly departed Paris Saint Germain side of the mid 90's, Who were original founders of the league. Is Rugby league meant for France?
Are the Dragons going to live up the early promise? Or will they end up like the PSG side to fold without a trace.
Strangely enough - Lokomotiv Moscow used to have a rugby league side - not sure if they are still about. But I think attitudes to Rugby (both League and Union) is much more stronger and popular in the South than it is in the North of the country, especially the capital - imho.
