Are excellent France are the favourites for the Rugby World Cup 2023, or are they climaxing too early?

Timing is all in select sports, and depending on your perspective, France's remarkable rugby teams either successfully time the Rugby World Cup 2023 on home soil, or their climaxing is too soon. Les Bleus, led by Coach Fabien Galthié, completed the Six Nations Grand Slam last week with a comfortable 25-13 win over England in Paris.

France Coach Fabien Galthie completed the Six Nations Grand Slam last week

They rose to number 2 in the world rankings behind the Springboks and also recently defeated the perennial rugby standard All Blacks. The win over England capped off an outstanding Six Nations campaign and at times the skill, daring and execution of the rugby game by the growing French team was breathtaking.

The backline, led by the brilliant scrum-half and 2021 World Player of the Year Antoine Dupont, was brilliant, decisive and quick on the attack. When they see an attack opportunity, the ball moves with speed and precision so they can dig when the time comes.

The forwards are strong and with Paul Willemse and Cameron Woki locked in, they have a second row to match Eben Etzebeth and Lood de Jager, Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock.

France has always had good strikers - Serge Betsen, Thierry Dusautoir, Abdel Benazzi, Imanol Harinordoquy, Daniel Dubroca, Jean-Pierre Rives names like and Gerard Cholley.

Finding and developing good strikers has never been a problem in France. But the trick, especially in the modern era of the World Cup cycle, is getting the careers of five or six future greats to cross at the right time.

Think of the Bok bags that won RWC 2019 - Kitshoff, Du Toit, Etzebeth, Vermeulen, Marx, Mbonambi, Mtawarira, Kolisi, De Jager and Malherbe will almost all be Springbok superstars.

It seems that for the current French team, and for France as a whole, several great players are forming and they are overlapping. It may be luck, but it's actually the product of good planning.

Long term vision

Their success and the upward trend is the result of years of planning. France's system is very similar to that of South Africa, with clubs and provinces having a large say in how the game is played - often at the expense of the senior national team.

Brilliant scrum-half and 2021 World Player of the Year Antoine Dupont

There are more than 2,000 amateur clubs and more than 30 professional clubs in France. There is little solidarity and until recently there was more battle between top clubs and the Federation of French Rugby (FFR).

But variations to their system, such as applying the regulation that every professional club must sign at least 16 French players, have gone deeper. This is critical for games and tours outside the test window.

In 2021, many French test players, including DuPont, have not been unconfined from the three test tours in Australia due to the maximum number of matches allowed and Covid restrictions. Three tests were crowded into 11 days.

That meant Galthié had to expand his options, and despite losing 2-1 to a strong Australian team in the series, it was another great learning curve for Team Callow.

Galthié and the selectors, who took over in early 2020, have fixed to the improvement major players they recognized years ago with a view of charming Rugby World Cup 2023 on home earth.
