		The FFR then contacted the Ligue Nationale de Rugby explaining what had happened and asking that disciplinary action be taken against the clubs.

		The truce between the Rugby Football Union and the purveyors of players to England, the clubs that are now viable enterprises, is at best uneasy.

	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.
		By way of contrast, Welsh rugby is wary of change, resentful of dissent and in the mild grip of a casual torpor.
		It is excessive to say that Wales is petrified of anything in particular; it is just that, while one rugby country storms and rages onwards and upwards, another is simply in a state of petrifaction.
