Contents of an Email sent to the Era of the Biff by Lyle
Beaton
Your list (The Era of the Biff Heroes and Hardmen) - while quite detailed - seems to avoid naming any French players. I thought I might send you a short note to remedy that situation
The French tour of 1951 is primarily remembered for the flamboyant running style of the French players. And yet the backbone of probably the greatest side of all time was its towering secondrowers, Elie Brousse and Edouard Ponsinet.
The image of Brousse towering over Johnny Bliss, the five time Australian beach sprint champion, is one of the most enduring from that time.
Brousse was knocked out in the third test against Australia in 1951 and yet still turned in one of the most destructive performances ever seen by any forward on the SCG - including scoring a superb try from distance.

A
COMMENT CREDITED TO BROUSSE AND HIS 1951 PARTNER IN CRIME, EDOUARD
PONSINET ABOUT THE LITTLE MASTER CLIVE CHURCHILL
The great French second-rowers of the early 1950s - Elie Brousse
and Edouard Ponsinet - spoke in awe for years afterwards of
the manner in which Churchill had stood up to them.
Huge
men who ran like the wind, they would charge at Churchill
like runaway locomotives, only to be dropped like stones -
time after time.
