Six Nations Tickets: Moments of reality in France's mission for silverware

In two years under Fabien Galthié, France has two times finished second in the Guinness Six Nations, beating the Wallabies in Australia for the first time in 31 years and beating New Zealand by three points. There is no doubt what the first championship in 12 years is next. Six Nations Rugby Fans can buy Six Nations Tickets from our website.

When a team beaten by Eddie Jones and Kieran Crowley enters the Guinness Six this year, the pressure is on.

France has two times finished second in the Guinness Six Nations

It's fair to say that no side will go into their campaign with more of a "win or lose" feeling because of the schedule and second consecutive finish.

But Les Bleus has every purpose to be confident. For appetizers, all they need to do is look back at their most recent encounter with every opponent on the field they will compete this year - and each time they've won. Take England, Ireland and Wales, who meet Italy and Scotland at BT Murrayfield in Paris and Scotland in the 2020 Championship, and later that year in the Autumn Nations Cup.

Of course, this doesn't mean much in itself, but France has undoubtedly become a force under Galthie.

With Captain Antoine Dupont, they have the reigning World Player of the Year, while the scrum-half leads a strong team from Toulouse that won a European and domestic double last season.

If there is one concern about the team, it is probably the link with Toulouse. But have been disappointing in recent weeks, France’s most successful clubs were desirable last season and have been unhealed by multiple delays due to Covid-19.

The impact on teams like DuPont is worth watching as they take on Italy at the Stade de France on Sunday. He played his first race in a month and a half with Racing 92 last week and will not quite suit the Azzurri.

Evolution of the team

Galthié labelled the team as the sixth edition of France, developing with each international division and if recent achievements are anything to watch, the team improves each time.

The win over New Zealand showed France on two fronts. In the first half, an almost unstoppable force, pounding from the reel, was able to break the win line regularly and was just as cool as it was at 22.

After a massive shift in thrust at the start of the second half, the All Blacks narrowed an 18-point deficit at halftime to just two points per hour, with France also showing some flexibility to take off again.

That should give the squad confidence, but when Les Bleus gets into a close game, big problems arise. Five of France's six defeats under Galthié have led or drawn with two minutes to go.
