The French rugby team receives Scotland this Saturday at the Stade de France and has a card to win the 6 nations 2025 tournament for the first time since 2022 despite the absence of their captain Antoine Dupont.
The day of glory may have arrived for the French rugby team. The players of Fabien Garthié can find the taste of a coronation this Saturday evening in the event of victory against Scotland in front of their audience. Nevertheless, a disaster scenario could deprive France of the title even if successful. Indeed, if England wins with 86 points apart from Wales earlier in the day then a victory without bonus would deprive the Blues of their first 6 nations tournament since 2022. A scenario which seems, nevertheless, well improbable. What is already certain is that the Blues will have to impose themselves without the presence of their captain Antoine Dupont, hit in the ligaments last week during the magnificent French success in Ireland (42-27).
Opposite, Scotland is no longer in the race for the title. Its two setbacks against Scotland (18-32) and England (15-16) completely ratified the hopes of the Scottish. Finishing with a prestigious success in front of the French would make the adventure less bitter even if the task promises to be complicated since the XV of the Chardon has not beat the XV of France since 2021 in this 6 nations tournament. “Probably the biggest challenge in world rugby,” said Scottish coach Gregor Towsend before this shock at the Stade de France.
