    Unknown French to face Wallabies

    Unknown French to face Wallabies

    FRANCE coach Marc Lievremont named just one survivor from last year's Rugby World Cup semi-final in his side to tackle Australia in the first of two Tests in Sydney on Saturday night.

    But Lievremont warned the Wallabies against taking his understrength team lightly just because the bulk of the country's established Test stars were at home in France for the completion of their domestic championship.

    Lievremont was bemused when asked if he thought his depleted line-up was confident of beating the full-strength Wallabies.

    “What a question. Yes, I think we are going to play well on Saturday and win,” he said.

    “We have a very good balance with just two players starting (a Test) for the first time. We tried to get some experienced players to start this game.”

    I don't care what journos think in the lead up to this game, with Captain Caveman and Harinordoquy in the frogs squad, the game in the forwards is not going to be easy.
