The XV of France discovered this Wednesday the program of its calendar for the Six Nations Tournament in 2023.
This Wednesday, the full schedule for the 2023 Six Nations Tournament was unveiled. Holder of the title and author of the Grand Slam this year, the XV of France will have a lot to do to repeat such a performance. Indeed, like every odd year, the Blues will have to travel three times (Italy, Ireland, England) for only two home matches (Scotland, Wales).
Fabien Galthié’s men will begin the defense of their title with two away matches, in Rome on Sunday February 5 (4 p.m.) and in Dublin on Saturday February 11 (3.15 p.m.). They will then receive Scotland in Saint-Denis on Sunday February 26 (4 p.m.), before going to Twickenham for the shock against the English on Saturday March 11 (5.45 p.m.). Finally, the French will host Wales on Saturday March 18 (3:45 p.m.).
