1 in a MILLION Fantastic French Flair | 2022-2024

[@ruden8667]

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 !

[@wynandsteyn]

They brought poor sportsmanship to rugby.

[@louis2r1b]

Lol why did you say that ?

[@GGdeTOURS37]

​@@wynandsteyn Please can you explain? Are you sure your post is a good sportsmanship itself?

[@martinbasta6623]

France has brought something to rugby since decades if not a century, and not just the last couple of years

[@matpaps]

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.

[@Hiraoka67]

Certainly the most beautiful rugby in the world for years. Unfortunately, whatever the beauty of its aerial game, inspired, athletic, refined, the French team has always been a victim of refereeing. What happened in 1995 against the South Africans, in 2011 against the New Zealanders and again in 2023 against South Africa shows the permanence of absolutely incomprehensible refereeing. To hope to win a World Cup one day, the French will have to be even better than today.

[@ThePourf]

The world cup is cheating unfortunately...

[@roberthubert6570]

C'est vrai! Merci de le reconnaître!

[@waitinblackout]

That 90m try from Penaud against Ireland is a pure gem

6:11 "you never give a vampire a taste of blood" best line ever :)

[@DeusExMachina010101]

France will surely win the World Cup final, or at least be a finalist, but without the political wheeling and dealing and cheating, they should have been world champions in 1995 (5 tries disallowed against the Boks, that was political) and 2011 (Mc Caw's impunity, and there too the All Blacks had to win at home). Which would normally make her a triple world champion. Today with Dupont, Bielle Barrey, Ramos, Meafou, Mauvaka and many other this is the best international rugby team. France has the toughest and toughest championship and an unrivalled renewal of talented players (France is always the winner or at least a finalist in the U20 every year). With the right refereeing (i.e. no political wheeling and dealing), she's unstoppable. But New Zealand also have a very good generation and something they have often lacked: power everywhere. And of course there are the Boks and the Irish. That promises some great matches.

[@jean-luchochart6960]

Entièrement exact!!

[@asasatan666]

Et au final, la France a fait des erreurs dans le match contre l'afs mais il y a eu un arbitrage très douteux, comme d'habitude

[@jean-luchochart6960]

A pure shot of french flair. It tastes so good for a rugby french lover. I do subscribe. Excellent job. Thank you.

[@nikolakozhuharov1042]

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.

[@thomasroulleauxdugage4350]

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)

[@theodore3074]

Flament and Baille have this kind of relax confidence too I reckon, and they make beautiful runs and passes

[@mr.meeseeks3074]

To me french flair is more about the fact they strive in chaos, bc they dont lack imagination to handle any situation

[@LeSaff]

The French flair is an idea of Rugby, where the ball is alive, where there is no stereotypes like the pick and go, up and under... Where the ball can be moved from a wing to another, where you are not calculating anymore and just play to score a try. And to be 100% honest, the team who usually plays that type of rugby better than us, is the All Black. Which is why we respect them so much. It's when school rugby gives way to improvisation. This is also called champagne rugby.

La France est un pays mineur de rugby mais quelle inspiration ! En tant que nation mineure, elle ne gagnera jamais la coupe du monde car elle n'aura jamais les faveurs des arbitres . Mais quel plaisir cette équipe nous donne et quelles émotions ! Allez les Bleus !

Dunkerque, 1940. Le jour où la BBC expliquera comment l'armée française a permis à l'armée anglaise de se sauver, à Dunkerque... Hummm... Peut-être, ce jour-là, commencerons-nous à prendre au sérieux ce que les Anglais disent de nous.

[@stefselene3926]

juste par rapport aux passes au pied , quand tu as 3 snipers (Dupont, Ntamack et Ramos) et 2 missiles aux ailes (Penaud et Louis Bip-Bip) tu entames la sérénités des adversaires

haha . Louis Bip Bip , j'adore . Vivement le 6 nations ,Meme avec un calendrier pas tres avantageux nous sommes tout a fait capable de faire un autre grand chelem . Allez les bleus !

[@ailleurd]

France become one of the best team in the world. It's come from team like Toulouse where Rugby is a religion as all the South West of France. It's amazing how there are children who choose Rugby better than football for instance. That means a selection of players more strict. French rugby is became real pro. I think the french rugby will last for a while as a very good team. AS French I support France but overall the Rugby World as play than as his culture. I hope that rugby will extend in more and more countries. Sorry for my bas english.

[@Heimrik01]

Il faudrait que les américains se décident à jouer au rugby et à participer aux tournois internationaux, alors là, ça décollerait de plus belle dans le monde entier !

[@ailleurd]

@Heimrik01 il n'ont pas la culture sportive en Rugby. Le foot américain est bien plus populaire. La Roumanie, la Georgie, voir le Portugal , Allemagne, Espagne, Belgique peuvent éventuellement participer à une compétition européenne..à voir? Je ne sais pas vraiment.

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.

[@axelpteeg]

Ouais , bof , plutot insultant pour le rugby francais ta remarque . Nous sommes une grande nation du rugby depuis plus d'un siecle (Shaun edwards by the way ) . Certes le vent tourne mais attribuer notre style de jeu a des etrangers is a bit far fetched buddy

[@jean-luchochart6960]

@debatcool.N'importe quoi!Gareth Edwards a inculqué des notions de défense et un peu de discipline,mais la valeur des joueurs français est largement antérieure à son arrivée! Sinon,nous n'aurions pas été autant de fois finalistes de la coupe du monde ou plusieurs fois vainqueurs du tournoi des VI Nations!

[@ClockworkOrange357]

@debatcool... Admirer le jeu Français en ce moment n'est pas dire que nos adversaires soient mauvais... mais il existe un style de jeu "A la Française" qui nous appartient...même si certains étrangers nous apprennent évidemment à être meilleurs.

C'est un rugby très aérien, beaucoup plus dynamique et esthétique à regarder que le rugby des années 1970 / 1980 à l'époque, il y avait une quantité de moles et trop de mêlées, de plus les touches n'étaient pas délivrées selon les même règles. On peut dire en somme que le rugby est devenu aussi dynamique que le "football" américain et plus intéressant.
