Berbizier blast for Le Bleu boss Laporte

ITALY COACH Pierre Berbizier has queried whether Bernard Laporte can lead hosts France to World Cup glory ahead of their Six Nations opener.

The ex-France captain, who also coached Les Bleus from 1991-95, said: “The coach is at the heart of the problems. I have never seen so many resources put at the French team’s disposal.

“But being given all the resources to be a success is one thing, using them properly is another.”
