from HG Rugby · host Huw Griffin

French rugby is genius and it is terrifying. When you sit down and analyse their game and their players you start to realise how advanced they are and how much talent their players have. In this video I use stats & video analysis to name my top 5 French rugby tactics that make them a terrifying and unique opponent. I am joined by international coaches Swys de Bruin & Pieter Bernade along with former Toulon scrum-half Andre Pretorius to deep dive France, their structures and what makes them so good. #france #frenchrugby #rugby #documentary #southafrica #springboks #analysis #tactics #dupont Follow me on twitter: https://x.com/HuwGriffinRugby Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61580910041103 French Rugby Is Genius And It Is Terrifying.
