Qualified for the quarterfinals, the XV of France will have to raise its level of play to achieve the feat against Australia or Wales. Our consultant Eric Blanc evokes the rest of the competition for the Blues at the microphone of Lionel Rosso in Europe 1 Sport.

Winner of their first three meetings and despite the cancellation of the "Crunch" against the English on Saturday, the XV of France is already thinking of the quarter-finals. At the microphone of Lionel Rosso in Europe 1 Sport Sunday, October 6, our consultant Eric Blanc expressed his concern for the finals and does not spare the team of France in its current state, he considers far from the great nations. "Quarter, half and final, it's Everest Today, sincerely, I do not see how we can go in the final and be world champion.It is not that I'm hard with this team of France but it's been eight years since we despair a little, like the veal blanquette of my mother-in-law, it's disappointing. "

Heard on europe1:

The big problem of this team in France is that it is in a major cycle of defeats

Can lack of trust play a role in cleaver matches? Here again, Eric Blanc has his idea ... "The big problem of this team in France is that it is in a major cycle of defeats.The morale is not there.The others advance to ten thousand By the time you see the offensive, defensive, reorganizing, ballooning of England, New Zealand, Australia and Wales, I think it's going to be complicated. "

In his usual frankness, Eric Blanc tries somehow to maintain hope: "Rugby is going to the fight, have the ball and a strategy and we are far from it. Little Marcel with the rooster, sing loudly and believe it. "
