    On paper they have the better team but three things scare me, as a French : 1. Our props have been all injured recently. Baille, Gros, Atonio, Tatafu. And Toulouse and Toulon suffered a lot in scrum. Lets see how they can bounce back in the three weeks before England. 2. They have to travel in England and Ireland. 3. The back three Ramos LBB Penaud is magical but our centers are still green except for Moefana... But if injuries leave us alone I can see a back to back grand slam yes

    What should we expect from France??? A victory, ideally with a Grand Slam. If not, Galthié is going to have to resign... I'm fed up with his shitty record of achievements (1 international competition won in 6 years... Soon 7!) when he has at his disposal one of the best French teams we've ever had.

    Hey guys ! Very nice discussion there ! As a french, Fabien Galthié had an interview in the very known rugby media "midol" in France last week and he said that Moefana is on his way to have THE titular seat. However i'm agreed with all u said and the best will be a pair Moefana or Gailleton - Barassi or Deportere

    About Barassi, you forgot he won with the French team the world rugby under 20 in 2018 against England in final and semi final was against New Zealand. Flament is injured for 2/3 weeks. Here is what might be the 23 players. 1Gros 2Mauvaka 3Atonio 4Brenan 5Meafou 6/7/8 Cross Boudehent Aldritt 9Dupont 10NTamack 11LBB 12 Meafou 13Barassi 14Penaud 15Ramos and on the bench a 6/2 Legarec Gailleton and the 6 in Front, Jegou Auradou Baille Marchand Guillard Colomb so far that's the Galthier 's choice as he send back the others players in their clubs. This Padawan from proD2 (Noah Néné) is guess what? a Padawan so he is not in the final 23 but that s a Galthier thing to select an unknown young guy, it s a good way to motivate the younger players in the top14 and proD2. They can see that Galthier keeps his eyes and the door open to talent in the national team.

    Stats are against France the odd years... Since 2000, France have won only one 6 Nations in 2007. Even years for the same period, France have won 5 including 4 grand slams. Ireland is definitely the favorite number 1 playing England and France in Dublin. And France going to Twickenham and Rome where they are firmly expected. Tough but exciting !
