France out for revenge against Italy in Six Nations
AFP World Cup finalists France will bid to obtain their Six Nations campaign off with a resounding bang when they host Italy in the Stade de France on Saturday.
But the French, 87 losers to New Zealand in rugby's showpiece event <a href=http://avokdo.com/category/goyardcheap/>GOYARD 財布 メンズ</a> in October, will likely be wary about writing off the Italians, who in spite of enjoying the unenviable record of getting won just eight of their 60 Six Nations matches, in fact beat France final year.
"We're on a level pegging with all the other teams. Wales created the semifinals, Ireland and England every a quarterfinal, and Italy had a great World <a href=http://qigong4asthma.com/category/helenkaminskicheap/>ヘレンカミンスキー 帽子 10</a> Cup and matched Australia and Ireland for 60 minutes. It really is going to be difficult."
Pape mentioned the disappointment of losing to the <a href=http://pbxbasic.com/category/givenchycheap/>GIVENCHY バッグ メンズ</a> All Blacks in the world Cup final would spur on the <a href=http://ba2ollak.com/category/givenchycheap/>ジバンシー 店舗 大阪</a> French group, which now includes a <a href=http://avokdo.com/category/goyardcheap/>GOYARD 財布 メンズ</a> new coach in Philippe SaintAndre, who took over http://qigong4asthma.com/category/helenkaminskicheap/ more than <a href=http://detectiondogbreeder.com/category/guccicheap/>グッチ 財布 レディース</a> from Marc Lievremont on his return from New Zealand.
"When you get within a hair's breath of being world <a href=http://qigong4asthma.com/category/helenkaminskicheap/>ヘレンカミンスキー バッグ nida</a> champion, naturally it's frustrating," the Stade Francais secondrow forward mentioned.
"We have 1 point driving us and that's to return to compeition to win anything due to the fact <a href=http://pbxbasic.com/category/givenchycheap/>ジバンシー サングラス 2013</a> it's http://pbxbasic.com/category/givenchycheap/ been challenging to swallow."
Pape stressed, however, that eyes were <a href=http://ba2ollak.com/category/givenchycheap/>GIVENCHY バッグ</a> firmly pinned on what was ahead and that thoughts were not being allowed to linger on past memories of a Planet Cup campaign that saw France suffer <a href=http://cribmaps.com/category/guccicheap/>グッチ 財布 メンズ</a> a shock loss to Tonga and players fall out with Lievremont.
"We went by way of <a href=http://pbxbasic.com/category/givenchycheap/>GIVENCHY バッグ メンズ</a> all the feelings there: shame, pride soon after having beaten England, a feeling altogether distinctive right after playing Wales, after which <a href=http://cribmaps.com/category/guccicheap/>GUCCI ネックレス ペア</a> new coach in <a href=http://qigong4asthma.com/category/helenkaminskicheap/>ヘレンカミンスキー 帽子 10</a> the final.
"But it really is in the past. We've got to create http://ondemandcashiering.com/category/goyardcheap/ a brand new http://cribmaps.com/category/guccicheap/ web page in the history of the France group and that begins with Italy."
Italy have also changed coaches, South African Nick Mallett moving aside for Frenchman Jacques Brunel, who coached Perpignan for the Top rated <a href=http://ondemandcashiering.com/category/goyardcheap/>ゴヤール アウトレット 財布</a> 14 championship title in 2009.
Brunel has vowed to adopt a alot more <a href=http://ba2ollak.com/category/givenchycheap/>GIVENCHY 財布 スタッズ</a> attacking style of play in his bid to turn Italy into a topsix group <a href=http://avokdo.com/category/goyardcheap/>GOYARD 財布 メンズ</a> on the planet within 4 years.
"What's true is that <a href=http://ondemandcashiering.com/category/goyardcheap/>ゴヤール 店舗</a> the French team is powerful and can <a href=http://detectiondogbreeder.com/category/guccicheap/>GUCCI バッグ メンズ </a> fight to win the tournament, that is their aim every time," stated Brunel.
"We have a numerous objective which is to seek out http://detectiondogbreeder.com/category/guccicheap/ cohesion between the new staff <a href=http://cribmaps.com/category/guccicheap/>GUCCI ネックレス ペア</a> along with the http://avokdo.com/category/goyardcheap/ team. We need to play in a unique way (towards the previous) and to possess various amibitions."
Brunel sprang a surprise by selecting http://ba2ollak.com/category/givenchycheap/ uncapped Giovanbattista Venditti on the wing, although also opting for thirdchoice Treviso scrumhalf Edoardo Gori, using the <a href=http://detectiondogbreeder.com/category/guccicheap/>GUCCI バッグ 人気</a> knowledgeable Gonzalo Canale on the bench as Tommaso Benvenuti and Alberto Sgarbi (12 caps every single) make up midfield.
Up front, the only surprise was that Mauro Bergamasco was not even afforded a place on the bench, when Robert Barbieri begins inside the back row alongside captain Sergio Parisse and Alessandro Zanni.
France coach SaintAndre named 17 members from the Globe Cup squad in his 22man matchday squad, with Clermont duo Vincent Debaty and Wesley Fofana creating the starting XV.
Montpellier flyhalf Francois TrinhDuc, who played largely a replacement's part throughout the <a href=http://ondemandcashiering.com/category/goyardcheap/>GOYARD バッグ 本物</a> World Cup, returns because the very first selection no 10, where he will link up with Biarritz's Dimitri Yachvili, who was preferred more than Morgan Parra.
