Dopo il Mondiale RugByLog si è preso una lunga pausa. Dopo essersi addentrato nei meandri del rugby e aver capito tante cose oggi dopo la pesante sconfitta contro i dragoni rossi questo blog può affermarsi pienamente felice, poichè ha vinto una scommessa contro se stesso e contro il suo forte spirito patriottico. Ammettere ciò è difficile ma dopo il modo di giocare di questa Nazionale, delle scelte  di formazione e di gestione sul campo della squadra siamo arrivati finalmente ad un punto decisivo. 

RugByLog inizierà di nuovo a scrivere prima sporadicamente poi riprenderà il suo servizio d'informazione lanciando una provocazione: ora ci sveglieremo una volta per tutte oppure ricominceremo la serie di partite da schifo dell'ultimo periodo?
Sfida non rivolta ai nostri combattenti sempre degni secondo me di essere tra i ranghi della Nazionale ma ad una dirigenza che non capisce che non siamo gli All Blacks e che non possiamo permetterci certe scelte in campo. Il rugby non è abituato a squadre e a nazionali come quelle Italiane ma è ora di rivoluzionare anche un po' questa visione. 

Bisogna cominciare ad essere critici su se stessi e non a ingozzarsi di zucchero, perchè lo zucchero fa venire il diabete e non ci fa migliorare.

France vs Wales second game of the weekend

Wales coach Warren Gatland has opted to shake up his settled side for Saturday's Six Nations clash with France by making four changes to the team that battled past Scotland.
George North returns to the starting line up at the expense of Alex Cuthbert, after recovering from the two heavy blows to the head he suffered against England.
Luke Charteris relieves Jake Ball in the second row while Richard Hibbard drops to the bench to make way for Scott Baldwin.

Samson Lee returns to the front three after recovering form the concussion he sustained in the England defeat. The Scarlets tight head reclaims the number three jersey from Aaron Jarvis, who starts on the bench.
Cuthbert, who was spoken to by the Welsh management following an altercation with a member of the public, has been dropped from the squad after two uninspiring performances against England and France.
Ball has also been omitted from the match-day 23, with Wasps' Bradley Davies named as lock cover on the bench.
Wales bounced back from their opening-day defeat at the hands of England by securing a hard-fought win over a buoyant Scotland side at Murrayfield. But they know that they will have to overcome the awesome power of the French to keep their title aspirations alive.
But Philippe Saint Andre will be desperate to claim his first victory over the Welsh as Les Blues boss and his side are well aware that defeat is likely to put an end to their title challenge.
Saint Andre has made five changes to the side that were shut out by Ireland at the Aviva Stadium two weeks ago.
Mathieu Bastereaud drops to the bench to make way for Castres' centre Remi Lamerat  while Brice Dulin takes over from Scott Spedding at fullback.
Morgan Parra starts at scrum half after two impressive cameos off the bench against Scotland and Ireland. Parra is preferred to fit-again Sebastian Tillous-Borde, who starts on the bench, while Rory Kockott misses out due to injury.
Romain Taofifenua replaces Pascal Pape in the engine room. Pape will miss the rest of the tournament after receiving a ten-week ban for kneeing Jamie Heaslip in the back.
Sofiane Guitone comes in on the wing for the injured Teddy Thomas.
Both sides are renowned for their muscular approach and after watching France's brutal battle with Ireland two weeks ago, Wales will be relishing the physical challenge Les Blues pose.
