REPORT: France sack Philippe Saint-Andre ahead of New Zealand clash

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. https://twitter.com/bernardjackman/status/654736926621102080
