Jaime Oncins, Brazil coach: "France has a good team, but we can compete".

France take on Brazil this Saturday and Sunday in Orleans. Brazil coach Jaime Oncins was relatively confident.

Among his ranks are Thiago Seyboth Wild, Matheus Pucinelli de Almeida, Rafael Matos, Marcelo Melo and Joao Fonseca, who is coming off a fine Australian Open, qualifying and then beating Andrey Rublev in the first round.

Oncins commented: "I have a lot of faith in our team, as we showed last year.

We have strong players, players who are at a good moment in their career, experienced players.

We use the experience of Marcelo Melo, who is almost 40, and a youngster like Joao Fonseca, who is 18.

France have a good team and good players. But I think our team will be able to compete."
