The new lads gave Galthie and France the smell of fresh bread on Sunday in the Stade de France. The players seem to be indicating already there’s a more relaxed feel to Camp Ireland, whatever that means. France full-back Anthony Bouthier is a rare example in modern day rugby of a bolter. It was blowing seven different kinds of gale and I didn’t use a kicking tee. I’ve always been fascinated with the art and technique of kicking, both from hand and tee.
