Still standing. XV France can still dream of a second Six Nations title. A feat accomplished by the tricolor in over 15 years (in 2006, then in 2007). To win the final title before the World Cup at home (September 8-October 28), the Blues (2nd, 15 points, +46) have to pretty much beat Wales, in a complete generational change and who have not won only once in this year 2023. Antoine Dupont’s men should also expect the English to bring down the XV of clubs (1st, 19pts, +66) in his Dublin lair at 6:00pm.
Last match in official competition before the World Cup
But more than an incredible planetary alignment, Fabien Galtier’s players want to continue the momentum of their brilliant victory at Twickenham (10-53), a turf that has been so unfortunate for them in the past. “To win the Tournament, you have to be in the wrong opponent and beat theice of wales. Our next opponent is Wales and our match will be on Saturday at the Stade de France. We want to focus on our destiny. Then the rest is not ours”— recalls the French coach. “We have to finish the tournament well: we still had a hand in the trophy. We know that it depends not only on us (…). We’re not going to let ourselves get drunk.”replete with offensive coach, Laurent Labite.
