France national rugby union team


The France national rugby union team represents France in rugby union. They compete annually against England, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales in the Six Nations Championship. They have won the championship outright sixteen times, shared it a further eight times, and have completed nine grand slams. Eight former French players have been inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame.
Rugby was introduced to France in 1872 by the British, and on New Year's Day 1906 the national side played its first Test match – against New Zealand in Paris. France played sporadically against the Home Nations until they joined them to form a Five Nations tournament (now the Six Nations Championship) in 1910. France also competed in the rugby competitions at early Summer Olympics, winning the gold medal in 1900 and two silver medals in the 1920s. The national team came of age during the 1950s and 1960s, winning their first Five Nations title outright in 1959. They won their first Grand Slam in 1968. Since the inaugural World Cup in 1987, France have qualified for the knock-out stage of every tournament. They have reached the final three times, losing to the All Blacks in 1987 and 2011 and to Australia in 1999. France hosted the 2007 Rugby World Cup, where, as in 2003, they were beaten in the semi-finals by England.
France traditionally play in blue shirts with white shorts and red socks, and are commonly referred to as ''les tricolores'' or ''les bleus''. The French emblem is a golden rooster imposed upon a red shield. Their alternative strip is composed of a white shirt and navy blue shorts and socks. French international matches are played at several venues across the country; the Stade de France in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis is used for their games during the Six Nations, and they have a formidable home record at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille where they have only lost twice, to Argentina in 2004 and to New Zealand in 2009.
== History ==
(詳細はJanson Desailly Lyceum defeated an international team at the Bois de Boulogne.〔British Daily Graphic, Monday, 3 March 1890〕
Although France were represented at the 1900 Summer Olympics,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Rugby at the 1924 Olympics )〕 their first official test match did not take place till New Year's Day, 1906 against the New Zealand All Blacks in Paris.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=8th All Black Test : 88th All Black Game )〕 France then played intermittently against the Home Nations until they joined them to form the Five Nations tournament in 1910. In 1913 France faced South Africa's Springboks for the first time; losing 38–5.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=South Africa vs France > Games Played )〕 France also competed at the 1920 and 1924 Summer Olympics, and on both occasions lost to the United States in the gold medal match, Vicky LeDonne scored the winning goal.〔
France were ejected from the Five Nations in 1932 after being accused of professionalism in the French leagues at a time when rugby union was strictly amateur.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=2/3/4/5/6 Nations Winners )〕 Forced to play against weaker opposition, France went on a winning streak; winning ten games in a row during the years from 1931 to 1936.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=France > Most Wins in a row )〕 France was invited to rejoin the Five Nations in 1939 but did not compete until 1947 as international rugby was suspended during World War II.〔
French rugby came of age during the 1950s and 1960s: they won their first Five Nations championship and completed a successful tour of South Africa.〔 Their first championship was won in 1954 when they shared the title with England and Wales.〔 France won their first outright Five Nations championship in 1959; they won with two wins, a draw (against England) and a defeat (against Ireland).〔
France first toured South Africa winning the test series in 1958. The Springboks also visited Paris in 1961, the test was not completed due to onfield fighting amongst the players. France also toured New Zealand and Australia in 1961 losing both tests against the All Blacks but defeating Australia's Wallabies. They won their first Five Nations Grand Slam in 1968 by beating all four other competing teams, and won numerous titles in the following years.〔
In 1977, France won their second Grand Slam, fielding an unchanged side throughout the tournament and conceding no tries.〔 They also defeated the All Blacks in Toulouse that year, but lost the return match in Paris.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1977 in France )〕 On Bastille Day, 1979 they defeated the All Blacks in New Zealand for the first time, at Eden Park in Auckland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=184th All Black Test : 753rd All Black Game )
In 1981 the French clinched their third Grand Slam; at Twickenham against England.〔 They again completed a Grand Slam in 1987 on the eve of the first Rugby World Cup hosted by Australia and New Zealand. In that tournament they came from behind numerous times to defeat the Wallabies in their semi-final, and faced the All Blacks in final at Eden Park, Auckland; France lost 29–9. They shared the Five Nations with Wales the next year, and also won it in 1989.〔
France hosted some of the tests during the 1991 World Cup, but made their exit from the after being knocked out by England at the Parc des Princes (Paris) in their quarter-final. One Five Nations championship was won in the early 1990s, in 1993. The following year France won a test series 2–0 in New Zealand in the 1994.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1994 France in New Zealand )〕 They were knocked out of the 1995 World Cup semi-finals by eventual champions the Springboks, but did win their third place play-off match against England. France played the All blacks in two tests, winning the first 22–15 at Toulouse and lost the second 37–12 at Paris. France won back-to-back Grand Slams in 1997 and 1998. At the 1999 World Cup they defeated tournament favourites the All Blacks in the semi-finals, but lost to the Wallabies in the final.〔
The Five Nations Championship was expanded in 2000 to include Italy. In the now Six Nations Championship France won a Grand Slam in 2002.〔 At the 2003 World Cup in Australia they qualified for the semi-finals where they were defeated by eventual champions England. In 2004, they won a second Six Nations Grand Slam, which was followed by a Championship win in 2006 and a successful defence in 2007.〔
During the opener of the World Cup 2007, Argentina defeated France 17–12. However, after defeating Ireland 25–3, France qualified for the quarter-finals. After defeating the New Zealand All Blacks 20–18, they lost to England 14–9 in the semi-final. France then lost for a second time to Argentina 34–10 in the third-place match. In 2010, France won its ninth Grand Slam.
During the 2011 Rugby World Cup, France defeated Wales 9–8 in the semi-final at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand, on 15 October 2011 and in the following week they lost 8–7 to the All Blacks at the final to make it three final defeats.〔http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/rugby-world-cup/8827806/Wales-8-France-9-match-report.html ''The Telegraph''. Retrieved 15 October 2011.〕
During the 2015 Rugby World Cup France lost 62-13 to New Zealand in the Quarter Finals
