[Sikeliot]

Spain, Portugal, UK, Ireland, North Italy, Netherlands, Austria, Germany, Switzerland. That's about it.

Spain, Portugal, UK, Ireland, North Italy, Netherlands, Austria, Germany, Switzerland. That's about it.

Do they fit better in Iberia than the UK? They aren't as Med as the ones who play for La Rochelle.

[MysteriousWays]

My list is similar to Sikeliot's but a bit reordered and slightly longer.

Pass easily--------------
N. Italy
Switzerland

Many individuals pass OK, but not incredibly typical as a group-------------------
UK
Spain
Portugal/Ireland tied

Some individuals pass as atypical-------------
Austria
Germany
Netherlands

Iffy, but maybe can pass-----------------
Hungary
Poland (to some degree)

Cannot pass as a group-Czech Republic, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Ukraine, Serbia, Bulgaria, Albania, Greece, S. Italy

[The Blade]

As a group, in my opinion, they would fit best in Switzerland, Austria, Northern Italy, etc.
If I compare them through the Britain-Iberia line, they seem rather equidistant.

Just watching SF now against Bath in the European Challenge Cup semi-final. I'm still really upset how they knocked out the Ospreys in the quarter-final - and down to fourteen men as well!:(

[Kamal900]

They look the most similar to Northern Italians, Spaniards, UK and western Germans.

[Tooting Carmen]

Stade Francais beat Bath with a last-minute drop goal 28-25.

[Tooting Carmen]

Now watching the European Challenge Cup final between Stade Francais and Gloucester.

[Odin]

Best: Central Europe.
Worse: Eastern Europe.

[guyinsf]

Best is central Europe (austria, switzerland, northern italy).
Laurent Sempere looks like he could have some asian blood in him and Geoffrey Doumayrou doesn't look fully ethnic French.
