Augustin Pichot:

“We know we’re not the best team tactically and technically. We don’t have the runners that Australia and New Zealand have. We don’t have the power and skills that they have,” he said.

“We have a very simple game plan, we tackle our heads off. We’ve given everything in the last five games and we’ll do the same against South Africa.”

From the world of rugby:

England World Cup winner Ben Cohen has walked out on Northampton after being overlooked for the club captaincy. The 28-year-old winger has not attended training since losing out to Bruce Reihana for the role last Wednesday.

And in so doing proved exactly why he is not fit to be a team captain.
