 sport.iafrica.com | today's news French winger in from the cold
Being a winger in rugby can be a lonely existence, as on certain days one mightn't ever receive the ball — and Jimmy Marlu could be forgiven for thinking he has enjoyed a similarly solitary existence in international rugby.
The 27-year-old Biarritz winger and leading try scorer in the French championship with 12 tries in 19 matches looks set to make just his fourth appearance for France but first as a starter, against England on Sunday, having first been selected against Fiji in 1998.
However, he takes it all in his stride, even the fact that he was selected for the 1999 World Cup squad but had to watch from the stands dressed in a suit and tie as the French progressed to a surprise place in the final which they lost to Australia.

 Human Kinetics
Coaches have organized, experimented, and trained various playing combinations to exploit the opposition on the flank—wingers, unorthodox wingers (players who function as wingers but play deeper in the scheme of the team), flank midfielders, flank defenders, and marking backs who can push into the attack.
In attacking on the flank, a player’s tactical functions are first determined by the demands of the game in the specific thirds of the field and are associated with the safety risk factors of play.
You can expand the flank player’s tactical options by placing the player on his or her nondominant side of the field, so the player’s strength is to come to the inside, creating space for others and giving them greater opportunities to score goals.

Speed is what the winger is all about - and you need plenty of it.
But to be a truly dependable winger, you need to pick up those difficult passes in tight spaces.
Often the winger can be the last line of defence, so you need to be able to make those important tackles when they count.

WEARY Chelsea stars have turned on Arjen Robben, accusing the Dutch winger of not pulling his weight.
Suggestions that he refused to play when Duff failed a fitness test are wide of the mark, and the winger did play the last 30 minutes after coming off the bench.
But while Chelsea issued a statement last night which insisted the relationship between Mourinho and the player was "excellent" and maintained he was "working hard to get back to full fitness," it's clear that Robben's apparent malingering has not gone down well with team-mates.

A 2-0 defeat at Kilmarnock still leaves Richard Gough’s side with destiny in their own hands but any video analysis which goes on behind closed doors this week will make for chilling viewing for the club’s defenders as Stevie Murray’s introduction on the left flank after 69 minutes proved the crucial moment in this encounter.
