France
The French national rugby team, nicknamed le XV de France, has embodied the passion of French rugby for over a century. Instantly recognisable in its blue jersey emblazoned with the rooster, a symbol of pride and fighting spirit, the national side brings together the country's best players to defend the tricolour on the international stage. Powerful up front, creative behind and true to a tradition of bold, attacking rugby, the team has built its reputation on a blend of physical intensity, technical flair and unpredictability. Fans often speak of the famous “French flair”, that ability to turn a match on a moment of sudden inspiration.
