After crushing the British last week, the French rugby players intend to add another victory to their collection this Saturday, against Wales. With the aim of keeping the VI Nations trophy in France.

A week after the feat against England, the French want to finish this tournament of the VI nations in style, against Wales, and why not, retain their title. Because mathematically, the Blues can always win the tournament. For this, they must beat Wales this Saturday at the Stade de France and especially hope for a misstep of Ireland against England.

A Welsh team in crisis

"We will play the game to win it obviously, to score as many points as possible and hope for a win in this tournament, even if we know the probability of England having chances in Ireland. But we will focus on ourselves and play the best game possible," said Antoine Dupont, the team's captain.

In front of them will stand a Welsh team in crisis, a bit like the English last week, and who recalled this winter his former coach Warren Gatland. But beware, France-Wales matches have always been hooked matches. Last year, the French won by four points.

England's victory desired

"Even when they have defeats, it is played with very few points," Antoine Dupont told reporters. "They are always fully in the game, until the last action." This time, "we will make sure to have a more significant gap," concludes the captain of the Blues.

If the latter manage to win, they will then stay in the changing rooms of the Stade de France after the match, to watch the Ireland-England match, hoping, once is not customary, a victory of the fifteen of the Rose.
