France Stunned by Scotland, Then La Crunch Preview: Can Les Bleus Still Win the Six Nations?
20 MINUTES LONG!
In this episode of the French Rugby CONNECTIONS Podcast, Veronique Landew and co-host Bill Hooper react to France’s shock loss to Scotland at Murrayfield—ending Grand Slam hopes—while crediting Scotland’s intensity, France’s poor defense and discipline, and small disruptions in preparation. They note France’s late rally to secure a try bonus point that could still prove decisive, and turn to “Le Crunch” in Paris versus England, with France still able to win the Six Nations. The discussion covers squad changes, including Anthony Jelonch's injury, Oscar Jegou's suspension, and debutante, Temo Matiu from Union Bordeaux Begles, plus concerns about strip colors. They also review England’s historic loss to Italy, Italy’s progress, French club bankruptcies, and the death of 1968 Grand Slam captain Claude Lacaze.
