The rugby community turned its focus to the World Cup as the world said goodbye to the year that was.

Later this year, when 20 rugby nations gear up to compete in the Rugby World Cup, history will be made in France. After four years of patience and assessment come to the conclusion, childhood fantasies will either come true or be destroyed. That's it.

The Northern Hemisphere has never been this dangerous on all fronts, despite the fact that the All Blacks and Springboks are once again among the favourites.

While France is on a fantastic unbeaten record that extends back to 2021, Ireland will begin the World Cup season as the top-ranked team in the world.

In fact, the French team is widely regarded as the favourite for this year's competition, which is expected to be the most competitive Rugby World Cup yet.

Three times, France has come frighteningly close to winning the World Cup, losing in the championship games in 1987, 1999, and 2011. If history repeats itself, they should make the final this year as suggested by the pages of history every 12 years.

Les Bleus have also come fourth twice and third once

But there is the sincere hope that this is the year they end their wait as they get ready for their third World Cup on home soil. French rugby fans are sick of waiting for their team to "finally win this World Cup," according to the French publication Midi Olympique.

Antoine Dupont remarked

Before the World Cup, Dupont, who was named World Rugby's Player of the Year in 2021, acknowledged that "there is pressure" on his team.

"Although there is pressure, Dupont said, "it serves as a source of inspiration for us. We have to control a variety of emotions. We all want to compete in and win this World Cup like our competitors. But before then, we have a lot of deadlines to meet in order to keep working hard and approach this competition with the most assurance, expertise, and composure.”

Since the first World Cup in 1987, consistency has been one of France's biggest weaknesses.

Les Bleus could perform flawlessly one week and look like a shadow of their former selves the next. After suffering a shocking loss to Tonga in pool play, the eventual runners-up in 2011 went on to lose the final to the hosts New Zealand by just one point.

"We are aware of the challenges. Only South Africa and New Zealand have triumphed at home in nine World Cups, and no French team has done so thus far, Dupont continued.

I recall that the Blues were one of the favourites in 2003 but fell in the semifinals. However, there have been other instances where they reached the final. But weren't considered favourites to win situations in which they could have or ought to have prevailed. At World Cups, predictions never come true. The only thing we can do is maximise our chances by being as prepared as we possibly are.”

Undoubtedly French squad is incredibly talented

Last year, France participated in ten test matches, winning each one. These triumphs weren't over underdogs either; rather, they were over some of the veterans of the sport's history. France continued to rule international rugby throughout the Autumn Nations Series after winning the Grand Slam early in 2022.

Their best performance of the season came against the Springboks, where they managed to win by four points despite losing their star scrumhalf and captain Antoine Dupont to a red card.

The major event of Rugby World Cup 2023

The opening match against France is a major event of the Rugby World Cup 2023. It doesn't actually get much bigger. When Les Bleus play long-time opponents in New Zealand in the opening match of their competition. They will try to get off to a magnificent start.

Although the All Blacks defeated France in both the 1987 and 2011 World Cup finals, Kiwi rugby fans won't soon forget the quarterfinal in 2007. One of the greatest World Cup rivalries in sports is set to enter another historic chapter with this game.

Strip

At the 2007 World Cup, the French rugby team adopted the coq (rooster) as its trademark. The rooster was picked in part because it is seen as a strong, aggressive, and confrontational animal. The French team's uniform was white with two rings one red and one blue until 1912.

For the 2007 World Cup, new uniforms were created, one of which is darker blue. The French team was known as Les tricolours because they typically wore blue jerseys, white shorts, and red socks.

Achievements

The Six Nations Championship, in which France competes against five other European nations like England, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales, is the only yearly sporting event held in France. When the Home Nations changed to the Five Nations in 1910. France was the first country to compete in the event. France was excluded from the competition in 1932 as a result of allegations of professionalism in the then-amateur sport. But they returned in 1947. They initially took home the trophy in 1954, winning it with both England and Wales.

Overall

France has a win percentage of 55.66% after winning 354 of its 635 test matches. France was rated fifth when the International Rugby Board first issued the World Rankings in 2003. France briefly held third place in November 2003 before slipping to fourth in December. After losing to Argentina in the 2007 World Cup's opening match, they then dropped to fifth.

Noteworthy players

The International Rugby Hall of Fame has honoured people including André Boniface, Jean Prat, Jo Maso, Jean-Pierre Rives, and Philippe Sella. In 1954, Jean-Prat led France to their first-ever victories over Wales and the All Blacks. He participated in the 1977 and 1981 Five Nations Grand Slams and led France to their first-ever victory over the All Blacks in New Zealand.   Serge Blanco participated in 93 tests between 1980 and 1991 for France.

Coaches of national Team

When France won the 1977 Five Nations Grand Slam, Jacques Fouroux served as captain. Napoleon Bonaparte shared the title "the tiny Corporal" with Fouroux. In 1997 and 1998, France was coached by Jean-Claude Skrela to two Grand Slam victories. France played a very forward-looking brand of rugby in 1977, and Fouroux, a scrum half, led France to their first Five Nations Grand Slam.   Despite being a successful approach, Fouroux's Gang was criticised. Because it was different from the typical open-attacking style of French rugby. In 1981, at the young age of 33, Fouroux was appointed Desclaux's successor.

National Rugby Centre

The village of Marcoussis is home to France's National Rugby Centre (NRC), which is situated south of Paris. The building's construction cost was GP£46 million which is about €68 million, in 2007.
