	Observer France all the rage as Wales stagnate
		This was because the nine biggest clubs of what they already call the Top 16 had been plotting, at a pre-meeting of their own on Monday night, to overthrow plans laid, and already agreed upon, for the structure of the French championship in the season 2004-5.
		On Tuesday, at a meeting of the Ligue Nationale du Rugby, the President stormed out, his resignation landing on the table behind him.
		By way of contrast, Welsh rugby is wary of change, resentful of dissent and in the mild grip of a casual torpor.
