France rugby boss Galthié demands focus for Six Nations finale against Scotland - Iqraa news

France's rugby union head coach Fabien Galthé has warned his players to keep their focus during the Six Nations title decider against Scotland this Saturday at the Stade de France.

France set the pace in the 2025 tournament following a resounding 42-27 victory over Ireland in Dublin last Saturday.

A win over the Scots will seem them clinch their first title since 2022.

But on the eve of the clash, Galthié said his players will have to suppress their more flamboyant impulses and deliver a cold-blooded display in order to ensure victory.

"We have to be vigilant," said the former France international scrum-half. "Because we're Latins and it's really in our genetics to sometimes be unable to reproduce performances."

'British nations prepare very differently'

France started the 2025 tournament with a 43-0 mauling of Wales. They dominated England in the second game of the competition, but sloppy handling cost them several tries and England eventually pulled off a last-gasp victory at Twickenham.
