Juantorena is definitely not an option, you need to have experience in that OH position if they want to qualify for Paris. Lanza is not it |

The problem I see now for france is their reserve middles. After le goff and chinenyeze, who do they have that can compete on this level?

Hate to break it to you But still better of an option than Bottolo and Recine. So when Lavia and Michieletto falters, you expect Recine and Bottolo to be able to handle the game at this level? Like the commentator said, the OH pool of Italy is too young. Zaytsev is not as good as before for two years already but he's in the national team because of his experience. You can't go to the line of fire with players that are inexperience in international tournaments in this level. |
