It looks like France have finally had enough of Philippe Saint-Andre.
There are reports coming out of France that Saint-Andre has been given the boot as coach of the national squad ahead of their key quarter-final clash with the All-Blacks.
French outlet L’obs Sport is reporting that the players have “discreetly dismissed” the coach mid-tournament after the players had grown weary of his “lack of charisma”. They are also reporting that the squad doesn’t see Saint-Andre as a “leader of men”.
As a result, it is understood that the players have made the remarkable decision to coach themselves against New Zealand.
Reports in France that Phillipe Saint Andre has been ousted and the players are coaching themselves this week. Play All Blacks Saturday!
