[QUOTE="Not Eddie Jones, post: 1017295, member: 81025"] I'm yet to be convinced by France. I'm always suspicious of hype, and France have had masses of it over the past year. If they can take the ***le this time around, I'll be much more convinced that they are gonna be a force. To do that, they'll need to break at least one of their ducks: they haven't won at Twickers since 2007 (and in the 6N, not since 2005), and they haven't won in Dublin since 2011. They'll need to improve in defence; for all the hype, their defence gave up the second most points in last year's 6N, behind only Italy (and only one point less than they surrendered in the 2019 6N). In attack, everything has run through Dupont and Ntamack. It will be interesting to see how they go with half that tandem missing. Of course, I might be eating my words come the end of this tournament!:oops: [/QUOTE]
