Being a native of Perpignan, I'm immensely proud that we'll be playing a match here in the World Cup, in front of my family and friends. It's an honour for the city and its citizens. I'm certain the treizistes of France will prove themselves worthy.
Not only is XIII Catalan the most decorated club in France, now the Catalan Dragons represent the region in Europe, in the Super League. A rugby city, a treiziste culture, a renowned stadium, a successful Catalan Dragons, an interested public: all the ingredients are there to welcome the national side i...
Patrick Vieira made a big difference. He’s a legend and in France everyone loves and respects him.

By 1998, France won the FIFA World Cup with a very diverse team, with players with heritages from Guadeloupe, Martinique, Algeria, Argentina, Senegal, Poland, and Ghana as well as France.
We knew they were going to be good, they've played well all championship ... The occasion didn't get to us as much as they would have hoped. The coach (Warren Gatland) has given us freedom to go out and play. The World Cup brought us tighter and losing to France spurred us on to get some revenge.
We are obviously aware of what this game means to the fans, 60,000 of them came to the Millennium Stadium during the Rugby World Cup to watch us face France in the semi-final on the television screens and that tells you everything about how dedicated they are
I am very confident going forward into the World Cup Finals in France
We have not been attacking as we would have liked, but we have the opportunity to put that right ... I would love to score a try against France and it is our first chance against them since the World Cup. I want a bit of payback for what happened in the quarter-final: it was the biggest loss of my caree...
Playing France away is one of the biggest challenges in international rugby. They have got about 900 caps between them and the experience of being in the World Cup final
The way he has gone about his business has been superb ... He has added his own personal touches to it, which I think is great and you can’t ask anything more from him. It would be nice to have that stability at the top so we know what is going on. But right now this promising England side has a good op...
It has to be in our minds because that's our last memory of playing against France. It's pretty disappointing when you look back because we had such hopes leading into that World Cup. Everyone thought France were there for the taking and we didn't step up to the mark. It's a constant reminder of what it...

I decided I wanted to become a professional footballer when I was six, watching Italy at the 1998 World Cup in France. I didn’t support Sweden, they were irrelevant to me. My idols were Roberto Baggio and Christian Vieri. Since that summer, I started to focus on football.
It’s a big game against France ... Those who watched the FIFA Women's World Cup know that we will be looking for a little bit of redemption in this game. It’s going to be a battleground out there and we just want to show the massive steps that we’ve taken as a team and set things right when we play them...
We didn’t have our best performance against France at the FIFA World Cup™ ... But we would love to come out tomorrow and play the best brand of soccer that we’ve played in a very long time and hopefully it’s enough to get us a championship.
We're looking forward to playing France again ... After what happened at the the FIFA Women's World Cup, we want to show them (of what) we're made.
If it is to compete in a World Cup, why not? The only problem I see is that, if I play for France and we become world champions in Brazil, then I will never be able to return home.
You don't get to a World Cup final without being as good as they are, France are a classy side.
The result will neither spur us on or rob us of self-confidence ... France are showing a very different face from the one they had at the 2010 World Cup. The team has rediscovered the traditionally good organisation of the French, a solid defence. In attack they have several players who are world-class....
When was the last time France won a match in a major tournament? Portugal (in the 2006 World Cup semifinal)
Whenever Australia has been at the top, we've had backs that back themselves, are creative and prepared to take risks. The way France played in the World Cup final last year showed that attacking, running rugby can dominate a game against the best team in the world.
