I'm not a big fan of France (lying, I'm a huge France supporter) but man how great it is to see Les Bleus back to French Flair after the 2012-2019 empty years.
These last couple of years, France has really brought something to rugby I think. Their playstyle is so unique with incredible players, and they just seem to keep getting better and stronger. Can't wait for them to hopefully win in 2027 !
Maybe I understand French flair in a wrong way but for me, from their best current XV the only French flair type of player is Penaud - so relaxed, looks like he's making no effort. The rest of the team are more or less no-nonsense type of players. For some reason we saw Ntamack only 2-3 times in this video. Another super relaxed and confident magician, I reckon his absence was the main factor in their unsuccessful RWC.
Very interesting pov but I don’t agree. Many players like Jalibert, Ramos or even Mauvaka (I’m not even talking about Dupont here) look absolutely effortless and have all the safe-confidence and trust of their peers to dare anything. As for N’tamack, he has a more strategical approach and is a very good tactician but he also knows when to play it (like against the AB from the try line or in Top14 final against La Rochelle)
attention, c'est grâce aux maitres Gareth Edwards le genie andrew Collle le génie et nos idoles anglaises (44 6 une fois) et NZ que nous les nains français juchés sur les épaules de ces géants , nous avons l'honneur de modestement bien jouer depuis 2 ans. Le vent tournera mais quel régal.
A lot of these guys are not grounding the ball, with their carrying arm between ball and ground! Unless this yet another law they can't be bothered to implement??
