Autumn Nations Series 2024: the French national team wins 3 consecutive matches at the Stade de France.

The Autumn Nation Series 2024 set the Stade de France alight with three dream matches: France v Japan, France v All Blacks and France v Argentina. These matches gave the French national team, coached by Fabien Galthié, the chance to take on some formidable opponents in a vibrant atmosphere. Here's a look back at some unforgettable moments from the autumn tour.

France vs Japan: A controlled start

In their first match, Les Bleus took on a Japanese team known for its speed and unpredictable play. The French team, wearing their home jerseys, set the pace from the outset thanks to a solid defence and a well-honed collective. The Japanese, who were often dangerous on the counter-attack, tried everything to reverse the trend, but the French dominated the exchanges with several spectacular tries. This victory set the tone for what promises to be a promising season for French rugby.

France vs All Blacks: Clash of the titans

The second eagerly awaited match pitted Les Bleus against the legendary All Blacks. In an overexcited atmosphere, the Stade de France witnessed a fierce duel between two giants of world rugby. Wearing their away jerseys, the French gave their all to stand up to the three-time world champions. Despite an inspired performance in the scrum and some flashes of genius in attack, the French XV lost out to New Zealand's precision and discipline. The defeat was a valuable lesson for the staff and players, who continue to grow against the best teams in the world.

France vs Argentina: An eagerly awaited rematch

To round off this autumn tour, Les Bleus faced Argentina, always a tough opponent. In a symbolic rematch, the French team, backed by a delirious crowd, showed their full potential. With key players such as the centre and winger, France built a resounding victory thanks to some well-worked attacking phases. The Argentinians, known for their power and combativeness, were not to be underestimated, but Les Bleus were able to exploit their weaknesses in an intense, fast-paced match.

An instructive series of matches

The Autumn Nation Series 2024 proved that the French national team is constantly improving. While the match against the All Blacks revealed a few areas for improvement, the victories over Japan and Argentina show that Les Bleus are capable of shining at major tournaments. Under the guidance of Fabien Galthié, the French team, buoyed by rigorous training sessions and excellent player management, continues to establish itself as a serious contender for the title in future competitions.
