Pressure is on Fabien Galthié to deliver title that has eluded Les Bleus too often
The good news is Ireland have won the last two Six Nations titles. The bad news is that as a result France haven’t won the title since their Grand Slam in 2022. A rugby nation expects and all that.
French rugby was nursing a collective hangover for much of last season as a consequence, and certainly so in the Six Nations. After kicking off the tournament at home to Wales next Friday night, France have successive away games against England, Italy and Ireland before finishing off at home to Scotland.
“We’ve got a lot of ambition for this tournament, we have the potential to win it and I’m excited about that,” the 2022 and 2023 player of the tournament added. France have lost some heavy hitters up front in Charles Ollivon, Anthony Jelonch and his replacement, the 34-year-old Romain Taofifenua, but have depth aplenty, and the naturalised Toulouse lock Emmanuel Meafou is now well ensconced in the squad.
