3 games, 3 victories, nearly 35 points on average registered, the French team shines in this 6 nations 2022. So much so that it seems to be unthinkable today to see the band to Antoine Dupont not to win the bet,And win a second title since Fabien Garthié's taking office after that of the 2023 World Cup. Hence the same to think of the so desired '' Grand Spem '', 12 years later.A '' great slam '' to which '' does not want to think '' Mattot Lartot who nevertheless pronounced this word more than times in 2 weeks that Fabien Garthié only caught the covid in a year.You will therefore have understood, we come to wonder what could stop training today that seems to be walking on the water, who has been successful for several months.

The famous French Boulard
It's part of our DNA, our history.To be French is to accept being able to exchange with Jonny Wilkinson in the early evening and end up talking rugby with Vincent Moscato around 3 hours of the mat '(the question being to know what Wilkinson and Moscato do the same evening?).It is when we are tutoring the summits, that one seems invincible that the next day, we are covered with shame, struck by a new terrible disillusionment.
French sport and rugby in particular do not escape this rule. The worst opponent of France? France. Perhaps the fault of a certain sufficiency, but above all to this unpleasant habit of being too quickly happening, too beautiful, too strong, to feel superior to the others. A way can also be to hide behind that rather than admitting the superiority of an opponent. In short, in French, we simply call it: '' Having the Boulard ''. However in this French team, nothing is the same. The players seem humble, straight in their sneakers, almost too perfect. Antoine Dupont is the best player in the world but never has a higher word than the other. Ditto for Cyril Baille, Grégory Alldritt or Anthony Jelonch who always seems to be smiling and in a good mood even when it is announced that France 3 Aquitaine comes to make yet another report on his family farm. The whole thing, surrounded by a staff, who does everything possible to put the players in the best conditions. A new generation that seems to have learned past errors and that remains lucid about the next goals. And that too is a novelty.

War in Ukraine
Well, that we are clear, we will avoid taking the lead with this subject which turns more in a loop on the TV newspapers than the last album of Stromae. Currently, everyone finds good to give their opinion. Francis Lalanne dared to venture there before attracting the wrath of Touittère while Vincent Clerc said: '' War is bad, peace is well ''. So I logically allow myself to set off some absurdities even if I do not master the subject (which is the very principle of social networks). I reassure you, it will not be more annoying than comments on the YouTube channel of France Rugby during the announcement of the composition. In short, you will understand, everyone is talking about it. Perhaps because as the speakers of BFM TV (surely former rugby players) would say, the Ukrainians are like "us, Europeans who drive in beautiful cars and who live in beautiful houses". But that is not the question. The Blues are in their bubble, a waterproof bubble, and have proven in a recent past that nothing could pierce it. Not even a Russian missile. The tricolors try to ignore the outside world and focus on their game, on their own adventure, therefore focused on the same goal, win the tournament. Difficult to think that a war will disturb the preparation of the Blues. But the last days have learned to never underestimate Uncle Putin, and in this sense, we do not hope that war will not overflow from current borders. Under penalty of seeing a new spoiled tournament. All this while in 2 weeks, the covid - it seems - totally disappeared.
Wales
If unlike previous years, no external element seems to be able to thwart the forward march of the men of Fabien Galkié, let's go on the side of the opponents. Starting with Wales, next meeting for the XV of France. The men of the Pepper XV (I obviously speak of the supporters present in the stands of the Principality Stadium) live a complicated tournament, the fault of countless absences. We think in particular of the third Croatian line Tipuric, the septuagenarian Alun Wyn Jones or the spiritual son of Bob Marley, Josh Navidi. More seriously, the Welsh formation seems too amputated to be able to annoy the XV of France. Very pale against Ireland, the Welshmen did not deserve the English but above all showed courage and flawless self -denial to win the defensive bonus. Similar scenario against the Scottish, to glean a victory with a snatch fifteen days ago. Far from us the idea of burying the men of Pivac, especially when we know their state of mind in a principality stadium which remains one of the most beautiful atmospheres in the world and gives the '' chills '' to Matthew Lartot. But their game is currently limited and the Blues are legitimately the favorites of this confrontation and must get out of it. But, paradoxically, one cannot help but have an unpleasant feeling.

Jarvo 69
He is Jarvo 69. Besides his name a hairy ridiculous, his passion is to return to the field, amuse the gallery and set out escorted by stadiers who do not know him.A bit like Alexi Balès.But we are not immune to a bad joke of the troublemaker, which could like a Welsh support this fall against South Africa, enter the lawn of the Stade de France to annihilate theAction of the test of the win against England.Sorry good game.When it doesn't want ...

England and Marcus Smith
In France, he annoys the highest point. However, Marcus Smith is a real raw diamond, an instinct opener as we find very little on the oval planet. His rage to defeat is considered by French supporters as "arrogance", something that fortunately, does not exist among fans of the XV of France after 3 consecutive victories in the tournament. As we know, even if they have nothing more to play and they have not seduced since the start of the competition, the English loves one thing above all, spoil the party to the French. Imagine a little. A Saturday evening in prime time, 80,000 spectators, 10 million viewers gathered on their sofa (I know it is I who counts them in every match) for a first Grand Chelem for 12 years. The journalists of France Television explode if they say evil from the XV of France, sell the event all week and the whole country is behind the Garthié's Boys. And then suddenly Patatra. Marcus Smith crucifies the Stade de France of a drop and in the stands, Owen Farrell smiles alongside Matthieu Jalibert. Asia Rugby recalls that Smith's father, executioner of the French team, was second line in the 3rd division of the Philippine Championship. Doctor, Serge Simon as best he can to falsify the negative PCR tests of English players but Bernard Laporte prevents it, recalling that cheating in rugby is not part of the values of the ovalie. France finishes second in the costume of the magnificent loser, Ireland wins the tournament and the tricolor supporters return their jacket. A banal day in French rugby in the end. And this is why we love it.
