Wyn Jones can expect a very special scrum treatment on Saturday in Wales-France. The Welsh pillar dropped on Wednesday when talking about the Blues pack - "France has a big pack but probably not very disciplined, especially in melee. We know they will strike, chase and cheat. They will want to push before [the introduction] and disturb us, ”he said. Fabien Galthié and especially Raphaël Ibanez took pleasure in answering this Thursday.

"It's a lack of respect for our fray, our team, French rugby and our nation," said the coach at a press conference. The VI Nations Tournament is a state of mind. This type of remark does not have to be. But as it would have been a shame to stop there, manager Raphaël Ibanez took over to hand over a small one. An even stronger coat:

It is a crude and childish attack. Our references in this sector are the arbitrators with whom we work in good understanding. Seeing the Welsh people cry like that makes us smile. The word '' cheating '' is a strong word. We too could wonder about the fate reserved for their half opening (Dan Biggar) which multiplies the concussions. I hope that their protocol is effective in order to preserve the health of their player. "

Come on, "crouch, touch, set".
