[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1072815, member: 45598"] I think it's their quality of players. Apart from the second row and backrow (and they really play a back five in the pack with Willemse the only guy playing strictly to the number on his back) where they aren't exactly weak you could argue that they're the strongest team in every other area of the pitch and definitely top two. Front row - probably second behind Ireland but they're really not far off. Halfbacks - easily the best and still in the conversation with their second choice guys. Centres - Again you're probably picking between them and us here. Back three - A bit of a challenge from Scotland and some people will have arguments for Wales but France are the best. They impressively lost two games last season when they had possession with the clock in the red, it's a very positive year if they don't do that.... Now that's hardly an endorsement but it's something that should become less likely with familiarity and it's worth mentioning that they were still a bit shambolic until autumn 2020 so it's still a young project.
