Seems to make a lot of sense.
People may prefer different options, but it is hard to disagree on too much of this France team selection.

BIG LOVE for this! ๐โ๏ธ
If you are in Paris this weekend and want to avoid the great French milk conspiracy, then stay tunedโฆ

Stupendous Scotland sink France in Edinburgh, but were the French really that bad...?
We look ahead to Le Crunch, review Colomiers faltering at home to Brive, and there's plenty of drama as a live eBay auction goes down to the wire!

With the Lelos vs Stejarii coming up in a bit, don't forget we are having an Iberian Derby today! ๐
Justin Middleton and I will be on comms!
It is going to be a belter as both teams are close to their full potential
You can watch it on Rugby Europe TV and RugbyPass TV
Itโs always fun watching France rack up 50 pointsโฆ

Worst thing is, Bamba is an even worse scrummager than the lot of them.
Is much better round the park though
Will be fair going for Colombe to come on when heโs not on the benchโฆ ๐๐
๐ฐFRANCE Preview ๐ซ๐ท
Weโve really enjoyed previewing Franceโs game against Scotland this week, in all the various media forms.

Shows how unlucky Serin has been
a) for his career to coincide with Dupontโs
b) for it to coincide with so many other brilliant scrum halves
Itโs been said so many times before, but how many caps would Serin have if he played for any other countryโฆ
Fรฉlicitations Baptiste!
If you look at games in the Six Nations and World Cups only (and bear in mind Dupont opted for a year off in 2024)
Dupont = 41 (35+6)
Serin = 27 (24+3)
So Serin has actually played more non-Six Nations games than Dupont
Dupont now has 61 caps.
12 caps may not like a lot, but when you consider that Dupont has only ever made one appearance on a summer tour in those 9 years, it shows how often Serin hasnโt been in the match day squad for France.
Serin made his Six Nations debut in 2017 and started all 5 of Franceโs games that championship
Round 4 vs Italy was Serinโs 6th cap. His replacement that day was a young scrum half from Castres making his ๐ซ๐ท debutโฆ
Serin made his debut nearly 10 years ago (2016 Summer tour to ๐ฆ๐ท).
His half back partners were Jules Plisson & Francois Trinh-Duc and he was replaced on 72 mins by Sebastian Bรฉzy ๐ณ
๐ซ๐ท Baptiste Serin is in line to win his 50th France cap off the bench vs Scotland today
Simultaneously feels like he should have got there by now, but also mindblowing heโs racked up that many

Love how you always share such fresh insight from othersโฆ๐
Some really interesting, brand new thoughts shared in that article ๐
Pro D2 Round 23 ๐ฎ
Split opinions on the round opener, can Brive secure their second away win of the season at high flying Colomiers?
Biarritz v Provence will surely be a tight one, whilst Vannes travel to Valence, the only other side with an unbeaten home record.
Strap in...
#ProD2
Ooosh, harsh!
Was being tongue in cheek about Bambaโs abilities at international when I said Scotland had a chance ๐
That said, only +10 handicap for Scotland on Skybet

Slightly different to previously reported, he returns to the more mobile options in the second row. Thought Meafou might stay given ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ maul strength.

Imagine having ordered one of these on the day it got released, only to find out 5 days later that adidas wonโt be fulfilling your order...

#Top14 #FrenchRugby
Sad to hear that Niort are looking at bankruptcy, weeks after Tarbes.
Have added so much since promotion. Hopefully there's a comeback around the corner.
All not well in the third tier, with Carqueirane-Hyรฉres and Blagnac having befallen a similar fate in recent seasons.
So, that was the #Top14 weekend that was. And this is what coaches and players had to say about it, all in one handy weekly round-up sent direct to your inbox
