Upcoming Matches
Overview
Fabien Galthie’s team have been building nicely since the coach officially took charge after the 2019 World Cup and after a chaotic decade, it is fitting that the former scrum-half should be overseeing his country’s renaissance.
Galthie captained France to their first Six Nations Grand Slam in 2002 and seems to have transferred the speed of thought that characterised his playing career into his coaching.
France next won the Six Nations in 2004, with another Grand Slam. However, while they took the title in both 2006 and 2007, they could not record another perfect campaign until the 2010 season, when Morgan Parra kicked three penalties and Francois Trinh-Duc added a drop goal to see them to a nervy closing 12-10 win over England.
Les Bleus had to had wait 12 years for their next triumph, defeating Ireland and England in Paris to seal their fourth Grand Slam in 2022.
