LOU : Dumortier touché à la cheville et absent quatre mois

France makes more sense for players on the periphery of or out of the bok mix, or at the end of their careers making good money before they retire.

I'm quite glad less Boks are playing in France.

JN is the obvious one but a very interesting group of foreign coaches (who I've not even known) who could push their case or what they need to return home to prove their value first?

All I’m saying is - let’s leave the laws alone. Allow the refs to get on top of the current. And by all means introduce stopping the clock on resets. Address the time issue.

We should keep our best players here . But when they’re good enough , we should let them go . Let them get the big money , so the next crop will get a decent crack . Then when it comes to the All Blacks we have a real competition to see who should be wearing what jersey .

That way we have our best players in the All Blacks and we can invest in the next crop of talent . It’s a win win if you really think about it . The idea that we will lose it all with this approach is a lie .
