Historic World Cup Rivalries
vs New Zealand: France and New Zealand are tied 5-5 in World Cup meetings, making this rugby's most balanced tournament rivalry. France eliminated the All Blacks in quarter-finals in 1999 and 2007, two of rugby's greatest upsets. The 2023 opening match, won by France, signaled their championship credentials. These encounters produce unforgettable drama.
vs England: England leads 7-3 in World Cup matches, with the English winning crucial quarter-finals in 2003, 2007, and 2011. These Six Nations rivals produce physical, tactical battles. France seeks revenge for those painful knockout defeats.

Despite the record, France pushed South Africa to the limit in 2023, losing the quarter-final by one point and the final by one point in rugby's two best matches of the tournament.
vs Ireland: France leads 3-1 in World Cup meetings, most recently defeating Ireland in the 2023 quarter-final despite Ireland being ranked number one. These encounters showcase contrasting styles, with French flair meeting Irish structure.
Frequently Asked Questions - France RWC 2027

France's exact match dates will be confirmed after the tournament draw. As a Band 1 seed, France will play three pool matches between late September and October 2027, with the pool stage running approximately 4-5 weeks. If France advances as expected, knockout matches (Round of 16, Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals) will follow in late October through mid-November, with the final scheduled for November 15, 2027, at Sydney's Accor Stadium.
Why has France never won a Rugby World Cup?
France has reached three World Cup finals (1987, 1999, 2011, 2023) but lost all four, making them the most successful team never to win the tournament. They've suffered agonizing defeats, including the 2023 final lost by a single point to South Africa. France's unpredictable nature, while making them exciting and capable of beating anyone, has sometimes led to inconsistency at crucial moments. However, their 2023 performances suggest they're closer than ever to breakthrough success.
Who are France's key players for RWC 2027?
France will build around captain Antoine Dupont, widely considered the world's best player, along with fly-half Romain Ntamack, center Gael Fickou, wings Damian Penaud and Louis Bielle-Biarrey, and forwards including Gregory Alldritt, Charles Ollivon, and Cameron Woki. France's depth is extraordinary, with world-class players in every position. Their Top 14 league produces consistent talent, ensuring France remains stocked with game-breakers.
What happened in France's 2023 World Cup campaign?
France, as tournament hosts and co-favorites, defeated New Zealand in a thrilling opening match before topping their pool. In the quarter-final, they survived a dramatic 29-28 victory over South Africa in a match considered one of the greatest ever played. However, South Africa gained revenge in the final, winning 12-7 in a tense, low-scoring affair. The narrow final defeat fuels France's determination for redemption in 2027.

What is French flair in rugby?
French flair refers to France's unique playing style combining individual brilliance, improvisation, off-the-cuff creativity, and unstructured attacking play. Unlike structured teams, France encourages players to exploit space intuitively, leading to spectacular tries from anywhere on the field. This approach produces breathtaking rugby but can also lead to inconsistency. When French flair is in full flow, they're the most entertaining team in world rugby and virtually unstoppable.
Can France finally win their first World Cup in 2027?
France has the talent to win their first Rugby World Cup in 2027. With Antoine Dupont in his prime, a golden generation of talent across all positions, and recent final experience, France possesses all the ingredients for championship success. Their 2023 campaign proved they can compete with and defeat the world's best. Breaking their final hoodoo requires maintaining performance consistency through knockout rugby, something their maturing squad appears increasingly capable of achieving.
