Hosts of the 2023 World Cup are on course to rival England for European supremacy thanks to ‘extraordinary’ defence coach
As France look to build on their best Six Nations campaign for 10 years, their prop Mohamed Haouas can reflect on a punch that cost them up to £2.5m. France were winning by a point at Murrayfield in March towards the end of the first half when the front-rower was sent off for striking the flanker Jamie Ritchie in the face.
It was France’s only defeat and they finished second to England on points difference. They would have won the title had they secured a bonus point in defeat against Scotland and achieved the grand slam, and prize money of £6m, had they held on to their lead with 15 men.
