The France Six Nations squad won their second championship in a row in 2026, but they cut it extremely fine. With seconds to go in their final match against England in Paris, Les Bleus were behind and the title was heading to Ireland. But Thomas Ramos’s penalty – the last kick of the tournament – saved the day.

Before that, the French had been scintillating at times, with comfortable victories over Ireland, Wales and Italy. Their Grand Slam hopes were subsequently dashed in Edinburgh, as Scotland ran out surprise 50-40 winners, but France still had enough to claim the Six Nations trophy – largely thanks to the prolific Louis Bielle-Biarrey, who scored a record-breaking nine tries.

Their southern hemisphere rivals will have taken note ahead of this summer’s Nations Championship.

Below you’ll find all of the France Six Nations squad’s line-ups in the 2026 championship.
