Lievremont backing for misfiring Skrela

FRANCE head coach Marc Lievremont defended David Skrela after the fly-half’s kicking horror show gifted Australia victory in Paris.

Skrela landed just one of his six penalties, and also missed a sitter of a drop-goal in front of the posts.

The Wallabies made hay by scoring opportunistic tries through Stephen Moore and Peter Hynes to complete an 18-13 win in the French capital.
