France-Wales: this is the poster for the last match of the Blues in the 2023 Six Nations Tournament. Fabien Galthié’s men face the Welsh on Saturday at 3:45 p.m. after their historic success at Twickenham. However, a victory would not be a sufficient condition to win the competition.
Currently second in the standings, behind the Irish, the French are still mathematically in the race for the final victory of the Six Nations Tournament. But they will have to rely on an Irish misstep. In the meantime, after their victorious getaway on Saturday March 11 in London, Fabien Galthié’s men returned to their Marcoussis headquarters this week.
The tricolor coaching had concocted light training, so that the players have the maximum freshness at the end of the tournament. It was also necessary to quickly turn the page Twickenham and put away this jubilant victory against the XV of the Rose in the archives to project on the reception of the Welsh.
For the 3rd row Grégory Alldritt, “the objective is to build our victory. What we did last weekend. Admittedly, there was a big gap in the score. But if we look at the first half , we took the points when it was necessary to take them and we were able to build our match.”
We must “build our victory”
Grégory Alldritt continues: “I think it will be on the same line this weekend. We are all aware of what we have to do to regain this first place for a few hours. Or more, we hope.”
In the event of a clear victory against the Welsh, the Blues would indeed recover first place in the standings. But to keep their title, they will have to hope that the Irish, who play after them, stumble in Dublin against the English. Otherwise, the XV of Clover would succeed in the Grand Slam.
