The Trek to Toulouse...

Profitable  - as expected for France (and the caveman's advertising income). Walk in the park for Fiji (!) and Samoa became my first prediction mishap so far.
I guess they will be making amends for their conservative, restrained rugby by knocking lumps out of England. Tomorrow is a day of rest and fun - what are you lot doing? (Going to write something?)

Hi Martin, Hi everyone !
What a match ! Ok, they were 14, no our fault ! Ok, it's not a big rugby nation, ok... ! But, this the way we like to see french play ! I don't know about England. I don't know about Irland or Scotland, but yesterday, a team waked up and all the nation with ! All behind hhhhuuuuuuuummmmmmmmm caveman Chabal ! The World Cup starts yesterday for France... Step by step, maybe, we'll be ! I hope. Next : Irland.

Yes Sylvain - everyone enjoyed the flowing French rugby evocative of Phillipe Sella - it is a pity that David Marty (nice name!) has the hands of Diego Maradonna and kept knocking the ball towards the goalposts!Also, well played Lionel Nallet.

really enjoyed watching the French team play yesterday in true french style. is Chabal the most popular guy in France after his two great tries!!

I'm sure the Irish are a little nervous about playing what now looks a very confident and organised french team

That's the question ; is Chabal is the most popular guy in France ? Yes, i think so. In newspapers, we talk about the "phenomenom Chabal". His power and his look. He's the guy who knocked a Black out in NZ, the guy who can punch and perforate defenses... Yes, he is the most popular. We can see people in stadium dressed up Caveman, it's quite funny ! And when he has the ball, there is a sort of muttering who rise in the terracing... Chabal is the only one to cause that... And yes, indeed, i think that irish team is quite nervous before frinday match... But we have to be carefull and do not "put the cart before the horse"...

hello sylvain
Didier sent me the video of Chabal playing against New Zealand Awesome! I think he's great and i Loved in the video when the new zealamd no 8 tried to get up after Chabal had just leant on his shoulder to get himself up. and the new zealand guy was so dazed he fell over again really funny just shows the strength of Chabal. The french team has a lot of charisma.

Ahem..! See section about Beware Men With Partings In Their Hair' for this video... And. It could be 'Chabisma' I suppose. Or alternatively, England's tackling was Chabysmal when they last played France. What's in a name eh Miss McTavish. Hope your team win tonight - oh sorry, forgot, France aren't playing! :¬)
