one of the best in the world. Lethal, fast, and powerful: the french wingers
and fullbacks have proven over the past few years that no defense is
unpenetratable. I missed watching them on action as the last time I've seen
a match was France vs Whales in the 6 Nations Tournament back in March.
So I went out on youtube and found a few must-share videos of them
backs.
Stade Toulousian
You have to start with Vincent Clerc & Clement Piotrenaud! Sadly sidelined
at the moment due to injury but along with Cedric Heymans nothing can
stop the Toulouse back line.

I think this is Cedric Heyman's best try...

Clermont
The Clermont Ferrand is just as scary if not even more intimidating.
Julien Malzieu, Antony Floch, and the torpedo Aurelien Rougerie are a
lethal mix. Along with Benoit Baby and Pierre Mignoni, the Clermont backs
and centres are an avalanche of brilliant rugby that stops at no defense.

Possible Aurelien Rougerie's best try:

I've a soft spot for this run from Rougerie:

The centres are also a force to be reckoned with the sophisticated Yannick
Jauzioun, Damien Traille, and Florian Fritz completed the set.

And of course, France's best match ever:

Bottom line, France pwned New Zealand - New Zealand sucks.
