The 2023 Rugby World Cup is fast approaching, and the French nationalteam is slowly preparing to sweep all before it on home soil. This summer, a number of preparatory matches will be held between the various nations, to get them into the swing of things before the competition. Between August 5 and 27, 2023, four friendly matches will take place as part of the Summer Nations Series, two against Scotland, one against Fiji and one against Australia at the Stade de France. If the first match against the Scots was a failure, there's a second chance this Saturday on TF1, starting at 9pm!
Les Bleus are desperate for revenge after losing the first match by four points. However, the match was off to a good start for the French, who led 21-3 at the break. The main players were rested, but are back this time to welcome the Scots to the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium in Saint-Étienne, a long way from Murrayfield.
