At a Manhattan federal court hearing, attorney Jordan Siev said his law office has gotten more evidence nearly every day to support its lawsuit accusing MLB and Selig of going on a "witch hunt" to ruin Rodriguezs reputation and career. He said the defendants went "way over the line. The Wallabies have been warned not to fall into the trap of viewing France as a team of all sizzle and no steak.Lauded as the kings of flair, Frances reputation as international rugbys flashy team has earned them plaudits for decades.But it can mask the hard-nosed rugby which wins big Tests, and that is what has the Wallabies on high alert ahead of Saturdays clash at Stade de France.Prop Sekope Kepu has concerns which hit closer to home than the dashing pace and guile of their outside backs.Their scrum is a weapon for them. Theyre renowned for it, Kepu said on Tuesday.Kepu said the key to nullifying the 80,000-strong crowd was to silence them in the scrum.And even the loss of impressive young prop Jefferson Poirot to a shoulder injury shouldnt hinder Frances threat in the set piece, Kepu argues.Hes a great young guy coming through and obviously to lose him is massive for the French side, but theyve got a lot of guys coming through, Kepu said of his former Bordeaux teammate.Theres no shortage of front rowers here.Kepu plans on taking aside young bucks Allen Alaalatoa and Tom Robertson ahead of the match to prepare them for what to expect from the crowd and the match.The biggest thing is (the French) love scrummaging, their mentality is a bit different to what the souuthern hemisphere teams (do) and what were used to, Kepu said.ddddddddddddIts something they take pride in and its something weve built over the last year or two as the Wallabies and Australian front row.Its a forward pack thing (but) just the way they operate and the way they like to scrum is something that Ill have a chat to the boys about.Its a massive challenge and were definitely looking forward to it.Both Kepu and utlity back Dane Haylett-Petty have experience playing club rugby in France, and both are wise to the ruse that French teams are all flash and no substance.Theyre a great team. Theyre capable of playing an attacking, exciting style of rugby, Haylett-Petty said.Everyone talks about the French flair (but) also because of the European (style) theyre also able to grind out wins.We know what a challenge its going to be and were really looking for to it.The boys are preparing well and looking forward to the next challenge.Australia is currently undefeated on the Spring Tour, with victories over Wales and Scotland leaving them halfway to a treasured grand slam - with fixtures against Ireland and England to follow the France Test.
