The Evolution of French Flair: Decades of Mind-Blowing Rugby 🔥 

French Flair is back baby !! and i love it

French fan here, the french rugby DNA is always playing ball in hand wherever you are in the field... we have a french saying for that, it is : La balle à l'aile, la vie est belle..which mean give the ball to the wingers, life is beautiful..

Je ne peux m'empêcher de penser que si jamais il y avait eu essai sur la relance de ntamack, ça aurait été l'essai du siècle

They protec, They attac, But most importantly, They make France back

The most spectacular one's are all pre-2000 and post-2020, when the ball goes hand to hand throw the whole playground. 20 years we were waiting for it.

It was the 1999 French NZ game that rekindled my love for watching Rugby.

France of the 70's and 80's wrote the book on attacking flair and panache. Always a formidable pack as well.

On a une magnifique équipe de France en ce moment ,profitons de ces merveilleux moments de rugby ,et espérons encore beaucoup de victoires

Je suis français. Heureux de voir l'équipe de France revenue au niveau international.

Oui, le match NZ/France en dernier était magnifique! La relance de Ntamack l'était encore plus!

When France decides to be France.

"The Try from the End of the World", 1994 in New zealand... the french flair as an art !

Nice to see Emile (father) and Romain (son) on the same vid

3:25 I love how the french commenting are sooo wrong on this try. They're screaming "Outside ! Outside ! There's people oustide with Heymans !". And Michalak turns around, find Jozyon, and this is a try. Even french people looking at the game cannot predict what they'll do, and that's the beauty of it.

Ca fait tellement du bien d'avoir retrouvé notre rubgy. Moi qui suit le rugby depuis les 80's ces 10 années de disette je n'en pouvais plus. J'espère qu'avec cette génération nous décrocherons enfin le titre suprême. En tous cas nos minots le mérite. En plus on joue à la maison, ça serait tellement énorme !

Still one of the best montages ever !!

2:21 cette passe de Lamaison, je ne m'en remets pas. Une finesse dans le geste introuvable aujourd'hui, un artiste!!

Nice one but I can't believe you left out Heymans try against the AB in 2009 or something. I would watch it over and over the numerous times French rugby depressed me in the following decade

it doesn't get better than this.

Le rugby joué comme ça , c'est magnifique , instinct , vitesse , prise d'initiative - il faut que le ballon vie toujours et encore , encore...Pour obtenir de tel essai !

French flair? I would say "Coup de folie".

Amazing France team!!

C'EST CET ÉTALAGE DE TALENT QUI ME REND NOS DÉFAITES SI DOULOUREUSES. QUAND ON JOUE AVEC AUTANT DE PANACHE, RIEN NE DEVRAIT NOUS RÉSISTER. 🏉🇫🇷

Je ne connais rien au rugby mais les images sont trop belles... On ressent la cohésion, le feeling, l envie !!!

Quel plaisir à regarder.

no other team has that fluid run and pass like the French...

De beaux souvenirs et de grands moments de rugby pour tous les supporters de l'équipe de France.👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

i dont know if it's French flair or more probably an unpredictible creative play!

It's funny because I only watch rugby when the French team has a match, so I can't really tell what's so different about that rugby, just looks like proper rugby really :)

Magnifique ! 🇨🇵

Magnifique ! C'est beau

Great vid, love the French

Génial !!!

Good game in those days

Thx !!!

imprevisible en français :) ceci dit... MERCI pour cette video

Apart from the flying Fijians 7’s no other country plays rugby with such flare and consistency with speed i believe.what say you?be honest.

The offload at 3:42 is just filthy! Proof that France are the best team not to have won a World Cup

When zee froggies are on fire....they are running fluidly through asteroids barrier ....impressive artistic rugby ....probably the only team who can find a fluid organisation in a fu..Ing huge messy shamble...by the way they do this also in football....and when it works, their arrogance is an art

En revoyant ces vidéos je ne peux m’empêcher d'avoir une grosse pensée pour Christophe Dominici.

Good video 👌 .

Nice video 👌👌👌 .

The french flair comes back !! It smells good....

crazy !!!

Wow great 😊

L'accélération collective à 6:52 est ✨ terrifiante ✨

Good video .

Après une décennie de disette ça fait plaisir de voir le rugby français retrouver son meilleur niveau et son flair légendaire. Au risque de me répéter merci Fabien Galtié de rendre à notre rugby ses lettres de noblesse et, qui sait, nous montrer le chemin de la victoire en coupe du monde 2023?

It's beautiful ! 😪

Quelles joies ... indescriptible ... la France n'a pas inventée le rugby ... elle a juste inventée la classe 😎 😝

Pour moi le F F c'etait ls formidables Sella ,Blanco ......je suis trés heureux de voir qu'ils ont des (lointains) descendants!!!! 2023 arrive pour la consécration !

Was at the 1987 semi final from almost that same viewpoint. Famous no knock on by the 8. A great non call by the ref IMHO.

😭 magnifique !! C'était une époque magique.....les bleus au sommet de leurs art. 🇫🇷✊

Fantastical

Que c est beau le rugby joué comme cela🤩🤩🤩

Cool 😎

Cool

french most flare in world rugby.

As an All Blacks fan ,it is time for France to reach their Everest and win the 2023 Rugby World Cup

Etant natif de Montréjeau, quelle fierté de voir dans les premiers extraits deux enfants montréjeaulais. Serge Gabernet et Gérald Martinez. Et maintenant , nous avons les frères Marchand. Que vivent éternellement ces clubs ! Allez l'USMGP, allez la France.

3:41 that laugh though

Nice editing

Ça court vite !

Nice video good

Sympa la vidéo, manque Dominici ;)

Which decade had the most "French Flair" do you think ?

5,50, Baptiste Serin : geste terriblement osé et magnifique !

que c est beau et on entend parfois que les francais savent pas jouer au rugby magnifique merci

Kiwis doing their usual trick of trying to hurt the try scorer after is scored. 4:12

Les français on est là ?

They run with freedom under their heels

OK, fair enough - they are good at that runny, passy stuff.

ça fait du bien de voir qu’elle n’est puls imprédictible peur eux-même! car ça fait 20 ans que c’était souvent le cas

and france-new zealand 1999 QF WC???

i hope we can keep our old moto even if we get more perfectionist. le old way? le panache !

Magistrales. France 2023🇫🇷. Qui Ose Gagne

NZ - France 1994 : the ABs are still searching for the ball!

FRANCIA VUELVE A SER GRANDE

This is what they're going to be like this year.

The advent 20 plus years ago of "professionalism" in rugby we can hold the FRench responsible in great part for. Though why other nations capitulated instead of boycotting them, is a question. However, I find my self through the years rooting for French sides against almost any one because they liked to run and pass the ball. Scotland has been trying to do so in recent years and suggests it might be possible. English coach 3 years ago claimed, "the team that kicks most wins"...so we can understand the yawn that is much of Brit and "northern" play....the Law changes of the pro era, or at least the interpretation certainly makes the game more static in the sameness of "look" and the preference and advantage of bigger and bigger players who can be substituted for when the run out of steam.....game approaches 15 man Sumo with kicking. The game caught on these clips I would hope is what the paying public pays to see...or would prefer to see if the current game allowed for it.

y'a quelques essais qui avec la video ne passeraient peut-être plus maintenant :-), mais ça n'enlève rien à la qualité des actions

Il manque peut etre les essais de la demi finale 99 contre les Blacks. Et aussi un essai de Cedric Heymans contre les Blacks aussi je crois que c'était en 2008 qui était just incroyable

in england we hate the french, but we admit, tres belle rugby

U left out Heyman's try, are u joking? :0

Perfect 🇮🇪

France, France ....

Juste un regret de ne pas y voir Christophe Dominici l'inoubliable "immense petit "...

Dupont est partout tjrs la au bon moment

on ne savait pas que c'était impossible donc on l'a fait

...(back...computer cut out) Noted is some recent footage of France looking to run in modern era.....Hopefully, they and Scotland style will catch on, but the SCotland v France match last spring (2021) was as dull as most modern matches. I wondered if they played on a narrowed field as there was so little space for anyone to run and it became another installment of "demolition derby" and a subsequent yawn.

Sella. Everything Billy Bumface wished he could play like

3:26 En avant! 😇

IMPRÉVISIBLE et non inpredictible

8:18 coup de pied de recentrage; rare au rugby moderne!

Vive la France!❤❤❤

Would be interested to know why there are no clips vs the boks.

✍🐘😇🐍 #nous PEUPLES #OPUP

RIP Dominici

If France's ability is flair, then how come they aren't extremely good at sevens ?
