Along with the Six Nations itself, France also competes for the Giuseppe Garibaldi Trophy when they face Italy, a trophy created for the 200th anniversary of the birth of the Italian hero who helped unify Italy, and volunteered in the French Republican Army.
France has taken part in every Rugby World Cup tournament since it’s inception in 1987, reaching the final on three occasions but have yet to win the Webb Ellis Cup itself.
In the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan, France lined up against England, Argentina, USA and Tonga in Pool C. France progressed from the group in second place and faced Wales in the quarter-finals. In a close game, France lost 20-10.
