The autumn tour of the Blues is known. The winners of the Six Nations Tournament will host Australia, South Africa and Japan in November, the French Rugby Federation announced on Thursday (June 9th). Last year, the Habs brought down Argentina, Georgia, and especially New Zealand after a crazy match.

France will thus measure up to three of the ten best teams in the world less than a year from the World Cup organized in France. She will first challenge the Wallabies at the Stade de France (November 5) before facing the Springboks, first in the World Rugby rankings and reigning world champions, in Marseille at the Vélodrome stadium (November 12).

Antoine Dupont’s teammates will end this tour on November 20 in the garden of the best player in the world 2021 at the Ernest Wallon stadium in Toulouse against Japan. The French, undefeated since July 2021, will have already met the Japanese during the summer.

Winners in their last eight outings, Fabien Galthié’s players are aiming for an 85-year-old record with ten consecutive successes. The autumn tour could allow to exceed this mark.
