GUBU in Paris: How things could get ugly for Saint-Andre

Nicolas Mas walked out of a press conference in Paris after a journalist suggested the French players were trying to lose games. I’d have walked too.
There’s a debate whether France would have been better losing to Scotland, facilitating a clean-house job. Certainly this cascade of criticism might have been easier to swallow had the French not nicked the points in Murrayfield. The players know they didn’t perform. They’re not the arrogant ones in this ferocious onslaught — it’s the journos and the ex-players who are on their high horses,. It’s all been rather ugly. Suddenly every hurler on the ditch is an expert, but I haven’t read any positive solutions proffered in Rugbyrama or L’Equipe this week.
