French Flair is back baby !! and i love it
French fan here, the french rugby DNA is always playing ball in hand wherever you are in the field... we have a french saying for that, it is :
La balle à l'aile, la vie est belle..which mean give the ball to the wingers, life is beautiful..
@@leewilliams2763 agree..Jérôme Gallion was one of my favorite too..
Ah South Africa !! the most tough opponent for the French squad ,just behind the AB's ..In statistics here we are , AB 62 games (13 v 4 draw, 45 d for France 20 % of victory) , South Africa 44 games ( 11v 6 draw 27 d for France 25 % of victory ) .. and let me tell you one thing Lee ,even if we, french, speak , maybe too much, about the AB' s brand mark, we have a huge respect for South Africa rugby..always a very tough opponent very difficult to beat..hi from France Lee..
Il n`y en a pas eu beaucoup depuis les derniers vingt ans.
@@admiralbenbow5083 Surely, you missed the past two years.
@@perelimpinpin Same respect for France here as a Kiwi. Good to see France back at the top playing great rugby. I think France will still get better.
They protec,
They attac,
But most importantly,
They make France back
Je ne peux m'empêcher de penser que si jamais il y avait eu essai sur la relance de ntamack, ça aurait été l'essai du siècle
contre les néo Z imagine ! un essai a raconter pendant des générations
Oui vraiment, c’est dommage que Jaminet ne fixe pas davantage son vis a vis, mais quel match !!!
C'est clair mais c'était quand même un sacré match🇨🇵
Pour me consoler, je me dis que cette action a conduit à un carton jaune pour les blacks, ce qui a sans doute plus tué le match qu'un essai...
L'essai de tous les temps, c'est l'essai du bout du monde, de Saint-André.
It was the 1999 French NZ game that rekindled my love for watching Rugby.
The most spectacular one's are all pre-2000 and post-2020, when the ball goes hand to hand throw the whole playground.
20 years we were waiting for it.
Don't dismiss France 2003 though. That game against NZ is legendary. Also a grand slam in 2002, 2004 (following the WC) and 2010
And the WC final stolen in 2011
Indeed. France have been terrible on most occasions 2003 - 2020
France of the 70's and 80's wrote the book on attacking flair and panache. Always a formidable pack as well.
Exactement
When France decides to be France.
"The Try from the End of the World", 1994 in New zealand... the french flair as an art !
In my opinion, this try is the most beautiful try of all over time.
(en français : Selon moi, c'est le plus bel essai de tous les temps.)
J'aime bien la façon dont Benasis (3eme ligne!)"met dans le vent" le regretté Lomu tout jeune à l'époque.
On a une magnifique équipe de France en ce moment ,profitons de ces merveilleux moments de rugby ,et espérons encore beaucoup de victoires
Oui qu’ils gagnent ou qu’ils perdent ils entretiennent ce jeu de passe collectif qu’on aime tant où finalement la seule star c’est l’équipe.
Nice to see Emile (father) and Romain (son) on the same vid
Yes I do agree
Il y a 4 ou 5 fils d'anciens joueurs du XV de France qui sont au très haut niveau. Cela signifie que l'amour du ballon et du maillot se transmet. Allez les bleus !!
Romain has, in my opinion, more a "blood snake" than his father, EMILE who was a GREAT.
As we say in France, "dogs don't do cats"
@@philippedevine5124 “dogs don’t do cats “ means something else…” dogs don’t spawn cats” would be better
The most hated family in New Zealand. 😂
Je suis français. Heureux de voir l'équipe de France revenue au niveau international.
Je suis d accord avec toi🇨🇵
merci Gualtié
Oui merci à Gualtié et tous les joueurs, le staff, tout le monde a réussi la remise en question pour le groupe France! maintenant il faut continuer et ne rien lâcher jusqu'au titre!!!!!
Oui maintenant il faut qu’on soit Champion du Monde de Rugby lors du prochain championnat , on a été plusieurs fois en finale mais on a jamais pu franchir ce dernier palier qui permet de devenir the king of the world .
@@Sam74213 Faux : la France a gagné la Webb Ellis cup en 2011. (Seul Craig Joubert ose dire le contraire.)
Mais bon, certes, ce serait bien de soulever la coupe de façon officielle, pour une fois.
Oui, le match NZ/France en dernier était magnifique! La relance de Ntamack l'était encore plus!
3:25 I love how the french commenting are sooo wrong on this try. They're screaming "Outside ! Outside ! There's people oustide with Heymans !". And Michalak turns around, find Jozyon, and this is a try. Even french people looking at the game cannot predict what they'll do, and that's the beauty of it.
no he said "an exterieur" ,(ce nest du tout , it doesnt mean offeside ,it means in french the player would didnt encounter a defence than cant stop him to mark.
No it means offside i’m french I can assure you
@@karelauberger1725 je vais mieux ecouter
@@karelauberger1725 Outside doesn't mean Offside. Outside means "extérieur", and that's what the commentator says.
@@karelauberger1725 not in rugby, in football yes, you can be offside in rugby but it wasnst tha case
Ca fait tellement du bien d'avoir retrouvé notre rubgy. Moi qui suit le rugby depuis les 80's ces 10 années de disette je n'en pouvais plus. J'espère qu'avec cette génération nous décrocherons enfin le titre suprême. En tous cas nos minots le mérite. En plus on joue à la maison, ça serait tellement énorme !
C'est clair, je commençais a perdre espoir, puis Galthié est arrivé (bien entouré) et 10 ans de formation + JIFF ont enfin porté leur fruit.
Mais déjà, j'espère que l'on remportera au moins un six nations avant la coupe du monde, je pense que je la fêterais comme si on était champion du monde tellement j'attend ça depuis longtemps.
@@DonTarken Oui nous faut au moins remporter un 6 nations. En espérant que le Covid ne vienne pas semer la zizanie. Parce que mine de rien le tournoi c'est le mois prochain.
Still one of the best montages ever !!
Appreciate it !
it doesn't get better than this.
2:21 cette passe de Lamaison, je ne m'en remets pas. Une finesse dans le geste introuvable aujourd'hui, un artiste!!
en 99 c 'était un équipe de fous !!!
5:16 la passe de Serein est largement au niveau, des gestes techniques aussi beaux on en voit pas tout les week-ends mais dire que c'est introuvable faut peut être pas exagérer
Il me semble qu’elle est un peu en avant , non ?
@@vladimir907 c'est ce que je me demande aussi!! J'ai beau re-regarder la sequence c'est difficile a dire avec l'angle de la camera, mais l'arbitre etait pas loin..
@@philippem4400 Oui ,nous avions l' équipe pour gagner cette coupe du monde mais je me rappelle de ce qu' avait dit après le regretté Christophe Dominici , il disait ""sur un match les Black nous pouvons les battre par contre ça nous demande tellement d' efforts que nous n' avons plus de jus pour le match suivant"" C'est probablement ce qu' il s'est passé contre L' Australie en finale.
Nice one but I can't believe you left out Heymans try against the AB in 2009 or something. I would watch it over and over the numerous times French rugby depressed me in the following decade
It was a beautiful try - link here for those who are interested czcams.com/video/FlrYmus6xUU/video.html
Nice! Thank you for sharing
For sure, Heymans was a legend for me, love this player.
Thanks for this! Remembered it, but hadn't seen it in ages
C'est clair le festival qui fait sur l'aile lol les blacks ont encore les hanches plantés dans le gazon...
Le rugby joué comme ça , c'est magnifique , instinct , vitesse , prise d'initiative - il faut que le ballon vie toujours et encore , encore...Pour obtenir de tel essai !
Je suis tellement content que la France recommence à jouer comme ça !
French flair? I would say "Coup de folie".
Je ne connais rien au rugby mais les images sont trop belles...
On ressent la cohésion, le feeling, l envie !!!
Amazing France team!!
C'EST CET ÉTALAGE DE TALENT QUI ME REND NOS DÉFAITES SI DOULOUREUSES. QUAND ON JOUE AVEC AUTANT DE PANACHE, RIEN NE DEVRAIT NOUS RÉSISTER. 🏉🇫🇷
no other team has that fluid run and pass like the French...
i dont know if it's French flair or more probably an unpredictible creative play!
Quel plaisir à regarder.
When zee froggies are on fire....they are running fluidly through asteroids barrier ....impressive artistic rugby ....probably the only team who can find a fluid organisation in a fu..Ing huge messy shamble...by the way they do this also in football....and when it works, their arrogance is an art
It's funny because I only watch rugby when the French team has a match, so I can't really tell what's so different about that rugby, just looks like proper rugby really :)
De beaux souvenirs et de grands moments de rugby pour tous les supporters de l'équipe de France.👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
As an All Blacks fan ,it is time for France to reach their Everest and win the 2023 Rugby World Cup
Apart from the flying Fijians 7’s no other country plays rugby with such flare and consistency with speed i believe.what say you?be honest.
Hard to compare 7 and 15, I see more the fidjians dominating the 7 like the the All black are dominating the 15, consistency is definitly not our strenght (fr pov). Now let's see what's coming with this new generation it might change !
Good game in those days
Magnifique ! 🇨🇵
Magnifique ! C'est beau
The offload at 3:42 is just filthy! Proof that France are the best team not to have won a World Cup
We were so close in 2011 - Dusautoir was magnificent
Only Craig Joubert thinks France didn't win the 2011 WC.
3 world cup finals, 2011 was the closest but you know the history behind this final…
IN 1995 France was the best team but south Africa played at home with new president Nelson Mandela, south Africa was very very lucky in semi final with the ref Dereck bevans, once again France was stolen
@@MrArkan6 Tho even as a Frenchman I'm really happy that South africa won that cup, suh a wonderful story. It would have felt wrong elseway
Génial !!!
En revoyant ces vidéos je ne peux m’empêcher d'avoir une grosse pensée pour Christophe Dominici.
Great vid, love the French
Thx !!!
Quelles joies ... indescriptible ... la France n'a pas inventée le rugby ... elle a juste inventée la classe 😎 😝
L'accélération collective à 6:52 est ✨ terrifiante ✨
Pour moi le F F c'etait ls formidables Sella ,Blanco ......je suis trés heureux de voir qu'ils ont des (lointains) descendants!!!! 2023 arrive pour la consécration !
imprevisible en français :) ceci dit... MERCI pour cette video
crazy !!!
Après une décennie de disette ça fait plaisir de voir le rugby français retrouver son meilleur niveau et son flair légendaire.
Au risque de me répéter merci Fabien Galtié de rendre à notre rugby ses lettres de noblesse et, qui sait, nous montrer le chemin de la victoire en coupe du monde 2023?
Et ça ne fait que commencer des beaux jours vont arriver
J’ai littéralement arrêté de regarder le rugby international après la finale perdue en nouvelle Zélande et les turpitudes de l’infâme Craig Joubert. Ce jour là j’ai laissé tombé considérant que tous les discours autour des règles du fair play et de l’esprit du sport étaient bafouées et que la fameuse équipe des Blacks n’avait absolument aucune classe. Ce jour là j’ai eu un dégoût gigantesque et profond pour ce sport qui autrefois me transcendait et Mbappé fait regretter amèrement le magnifique rugby de la fin des années 70 et des années 80. Un ami m’a dit regarde le match contre les neo zed ca devrait te plaire. J’espère que cela va durer quelques années c’était juste magnifique.
The french flair comes back !! It smells good....
french most flare in world rugby.
Wow great 😊
Good video 👌
.
Nice video 👌👌👌
.
Which decade had the most "French Flair" do you think ?
I will say the 1990's but this current decade could prove to have the most.
the 80's
The 2020’s 🤪
90
Till
2010
Now!
It's beautiful ! 😪
3:41 that laugh though
Good video
.
Was at the 1987 semi final from almost that same viewpoint. Famous no knock on by the 8. A great non call by the ref IMHO.
As a French I always felt guilty after this. Australia played beautiful Rugby four years later.
@@elandraxe I was sitting in a large crowd of French supporters all chanting
"Allez les Bleus". It is was a highlight of that tour.
Etant natif de Montréjeau, quelle fierté de voir dans les premiers extraits deux enfants montréjeaulais. Serge Gabernet et Gérald Martinez. Et maintenant , nous avons les frères Marchand. Que vivent éternellement ces clubs !
Allez l'USMGP, allez la France.
Fantastical
Kiwis doing their usual trick of trying to hurt the try scorer after is scored. 4:12
And he did..Jauzion just after the try got an "oeuf de pigeon " ( pigeon egg ? English expression?) , a big bump just near the eye..hi from France...
@@perelimpinpin Hi Denis, in English we call it an egg too, not sure about the pigeon though! I see it so often from NZ when, after the try is scored, they land with a knee or elbow on the scorer. I keep hoping they'll get pulled up for it but never do. Great to watch the French team playing at the moment, beautiful and positive play! All the best from across the channel!
@@richardneilson hi Richard, thank you for the explanations, with the VAR review nowdays , i think bad actions like this one will be banned, with at least a yellow or red card according to the power of the impact..it is good for the game and also for the players health..
@@richardneilson and thank you also for complimenting the French game..England, Ireland ,Scotland and Wales showed interesting things during this autumn internationals..Smith ,Steward and Hill were impressive too...it will be a very intertaining 6N to come !! Can' t wait bro !!
@@perelimpinpin It's looking like being an exciting 6 nations indeed, especially with the build up to your World Cup the following year. It's going to be a good couple of years for the Northern Hemisphere! Good luck.
Cool 😎
Les français on est là ?
Ouais désolé je me préparais un petit truc à boire, un autre à manger et je me mets la vidéo en boucle pendant une heure !! 😂
Furia francese !!
Que c est beau le rugby joué comme cela🤩🤩🤩
Cool
Ça court vite !
😭 magnifique !! C'était une époque magique.....les bleus au sommet de leurs art. 🇫🇷✊
Nice video good
and france-new zealand 1999 QF WC???
OK, fair enough - they are good at that runny, passy stuff.
5,50, Baptiste Serin : geste terriblement osé et magnifique !
5:50
i hope we can keep our old moto even if we get more perfectionist.
le old way?
le panache !
Juste un regret de ne pas y voir Christophe Dominici l'inoubliable "immense petit "...
que c est beau et on entend parfois que les francais savent pas jouer au rugby magnifique merci
The advent 20 plus years ago of "professionalism" in rugby we can hold the FRench responsible in great part for. Though why other nations capitulated instead of boycotting them, is a question. However, I find my self through the years rooting for French sides against almost any one because they liked to run and pass the ball. Scotland has been trying to do so in recent years and suggests it might be possible. English coach 3 years ago claimed, "the team that kicks most wins"...so we can understand the yawn that is much of Brit and "northern" play....the Law changes of the pro era, or at least the interpretation certainly makes the game more static in the sameness of "look" and the preference and advantage of bigger and bigger players who can be substituted for when the run out of steam.....game approaches 15 man Sumo with kicking. The game caught on these clips I would hope is what the paying public pays to see...or would prefer to see if the current game allowed for it.
Spot on ! ...c'est exactement ça, merci !
Remember though, when disparaging kicking, that the present French team - who play the most beautiful and creative Rugby imaginable - kick the most rather than the least, in order to break up the lines for creative play. Why you kick is more important than how much you kick.
in england we hate the french, but we admit, tres belle rugby
Sympa la vidéo, manque Dominici ;)
NZ - France 1994 : the ABs are still searching for the ball!
They run with freedom under their heels
ça fait du bien de voir qu’elle n’est puls imprédictible peur eux-même! car ça fait 20 ans que c’était souvent le cas
Nice editing
Magistrales.
France 2023🇫🇷.
Qui Ose Gagne
Il manque peut etre les essais de la demi finale 99 contre les Blacks. Et aussi un essai de Cedric Heymans contre les Blacks aussi je crois que c'était en 2008 qui était just incroyable
This is what they're going to be like this year.
FRANCIA VUELVE A SER GRANDE
y'a quelques essais qui avec la video ne passeraient peut-être plus maintenant :-), mais ça n'enlève rien à la qualité des actions
On est d'accord...
...(back...computer cut out) Noted is some recent footage of France looking to run in modern era.....Hopefully, they and Scotland style will catch on, but the SCotland v France match last spring (2021) was as dull as most modern matches. I wondered if they played on a narrowed field as there was so little space for anyone to run and it became another installment of "demolition derby" and a subsequent yawn.
Most of them (in the 2000 and 2010 are not French Flair), but they are more individual exploits, which France has no monopoly on.
French Flair is desorganized actions, or organized mess, depending on how you see it, and in this case it is more of a French particularity, kind og a 7 rugby touch.
That's exactly my feeling by watching this video (&I'm french). I think we can do the same vid with all the major rugby teams. The french flair is a collective, spectacular, & disorder action that make possible something that should normally not be done.
Don’t you enjoy the show ?
@@alba-k ,
U left out Heyman's try, are u joking? :0
Dupont est partout tjrs la au bon moment
Sella. Everything Billy Bumface wished he could play like
1. Rugby was a better game when the players were human beings instead of small trucks
2. Chris Ashton was the worst defender England ever had
3.France are pretty good this season
Rugby players are better now, how tragic
@@huttonberries768 I don't believe they are "better" as such, simply bigger.
@@ThePereubu1710 they are way way better. Bigger, faster, stronger, more skilled, more organized etc. A 2021 team would absolutely annihilate any pre 2000 team by about 150 points
@@huttonberries768 OK, that's a fair point but if you actually read what I originally wrote I said that "Rugby was a better game when the players were human beings". I was not commenting on whether a modern team would beat an older team, they certainly would but that doesn't mean the game is better. In my opinion, I preferred the game in the 80's. Your view may be different and that's fine too.
I actually hate what has happened to rugby union over recent years where changes in the laws have been made to cater for how much bigger and stronger the players are; where, largely because of the bulk of the front row, scrums have become a penalty delivery system; where "big hits" and "brutality" are promoted. When I was coached, many, many years ago, the basic tenet was that rugby was a game of avoidance; the skill was not being tackled. Yes, it was a hard game - I was knocked unconscious after one last second, try saving tackle (totally my own fault for terrible technique!) - but it wasn't about hurting each other.
This is why, I believe, that games such as France vs New Zealand last month was such a breath of fresh air whilst it was physical and hard fought, it was the open, quick style of the game which enthralled us all.
I hope I've managed to get my point across, I guess I just have a different view to you of what makes rugby union the second* greatest team sport in the world.
*Aussie Rules Football holds the number 1 spot for me :)
@@ThePereubu1710 When I played and coached up until early 2000s rugby was a far more brutal game and it was often about "putting a hurt" on the opposition. I used to come out every game with rake marks over my back and legs. Dangerous spear tackles, head shots, clearing out with no wrapping were all part of the game.
on ne savait pas que c'était impossible donc on l'a fait
France, France ....
If France's ability is flair, then how come they aren't extremely good at sevens ?
Physicality
7s is nothing in France compared to top14 maybe the best championship in the world for Union Rugby. Since 7s is olympic they are working on it, they just beat Fiji in Dubai.
I could give a bit of a response as a french person and as a rugby enthousiast, I personnaly discovered sevens a few years back thanks to internet but I genuinely believe that 95% of the french don't even know it exists. Therefore the number of people practicing it is really really low.
Sevens is yet poorly developped in France. @DECOCCE, I wouldn't say the French championship is the best in the world until the French teams firmly dominate English and Irish teams in the HCup and moreover unitl they play the best teams of the Super Rugby.
Perfect 🇮🇪
8:18 coup de pied de recentrage; rare au rugby moderne!
3:26 En avant! 😇
N'importe quoi...
😁
IMPRÉVISIBLE et non inpredictible
Would be interested to know why there are no clips vs the boks.
France virtually never plays the boks.. It's only autumn or summer test which are not the most interesting. And my only world cup memory of France and SA is 95's soaked game
Would be interested to know why SA fans ALWAYS have to bring the SA team when it's not relevant.
RIP Dominici
