Petit:''French football is like that. We wait and see how the other team plays - a bit like a boxer who judges his rival.''

The French as boxers? He must mean, "We have a look at them and if they are a defenseless South Sea Island nation we let off nuclear devices underneath them, but if they are English or German we surrender as quickly as possible."

Please feel free to join me in a rousing rendition of the traditional English accompaniment to "Le Marselleise" (?) during the 5 Nations:

A frenchamn went to the lavatory
To have a
Jolly good sh*t!
He took his coat and trousers off
So that he could
Revel in it!
But when he reached for the paper,
He found that someone had been there before.

Ou e le papiere?
Ou e le papiere?
Mesiuer! Mesiuer!
Je fe manure,
Ou e le papiere?
