The French were able to scrape their way to a victory in their opening 2009 Six Nations match. They scored a 22-13 win over Scotland at the Stade de France last Saturday, but it wasn’t an impressive performance.

Now France coach Marc Lievremont has to figure out how to get his team to play better of they will be in significant trouble against the powerful red tide from Wales.



The French sides are underdogs in this Six Nations match up, as expected, but the debate rages on about their level of play and the game plan employed by the coaching staff.

Punters are not feeling very confident. France can make the necessary adjustments, as sports books report money flowing in on the Welsh side.

Lievremont, who took over from Bernard Laporte in late 2007 after the last World Cup, stated \”On the very day when our forward play and our combativity and discipline reassure us, it\’s other problems that leave us exposed.”

It is generally acknowledged that the Welsh team is the best rugby team in Europe at the moment, and looking every bit the favorites to repeat as Six Nations Champions.

Can France, who will be hosting the first Friday night game ever in the Six Nations, find a way to slow them down? Doubtful.

There is a multitude of betting options for this match.
