C'est la première fois que je regarde une de vos vidéos et je dois dire que je suis impressionné par votre amour sincère du jeu qui ignore totalement les querelles partisanes : vous regrettez les absences de certains joueurs plus intensément que beaucoup de supporters français, un état d'esprit qui fait réellement plaisir.
Great title. Rumours in france day Roumat at 4 and , Barassi at center, Attisogbe at 14 with gailleton on the bench ( as he can play wing and center ) and le garrec coming in. Dont worry this team is good , very good. The young guys were involved in the win over NZ.
As usual a great video. As a french supporter I'm looking forward this tournament hoping a french victory ✌🏻 The top 14 and the champions cup need so much energy that we are always missing great players...😢 I've just realized that we all see Dupont, N'tamack, LBB, Penaud and Ramos as obvious premium players but they never played together!!!! I'm looking forward to see this. Hopefully against England. I also looking forward Flament's come back later in the tournament. Wish you a great tournament Tim and looking forward to see your quality videos!! 👍🏻
Roumat gonna play 4, he did it in november, he has a rpofil similar to Flament and is great on line out . But Guillard will be a fantastic impact player for sure
French fan here, thanks for this new video Tim ! I love the way your content is argued... You are a great rugby expert ! The latest info seems to put Roumat in 4 and Attissogbe in 14, otherwise, I think you are right about the rest of the team, maybe Baille instead of Gros ? you're right again, losing Flamant is terrible for the French team. Penaud should return for England... But, I think the pool of players ready to play is huge...
Ever since July last year it has slowly become clear that of all the top coaches Galthie is following Rassie's method the closest (he even used one of his line-out innovations!) by giving the youngsters serious game time and building up a formidable squad. It might be early days, but I will predict once again that in 2027 France will be the team to beat at the RWC.
Another great video! Maybe you can do a Q&A? Would like to hear your thoughts on: The best club and international game you ever seen live and on tv? Controversial takes? Most hated team e.g wales Where you see the club game in 5 years? If you could change 1 rule what would it be? Etc etc
I feel Penaud being out might at least save Wales from a genuinely embarrassing pasting… (Hope he’s back soon!) Otherwise, solid selection. I think Roumat might be back now he’s shown at Toulouse he’s back fit and playing well.
Roumat will start at 4 with Guillard on the bench who is the only one who covers the tighhead lock Attisogbe will start at 14 For the injuries : Flament is out 2 weeks probably will come back for the England game or the 3rd game Penaud is out only 1 week so he be back soon ! And for Fickou/Tatafu they will probably be back for the 3/4 game of the tournament
Here's a mission for you Tim-at the end of the 6 Nations. Pick a Lions 23-man match day squad for Australia that includes French and Italian players-based on their form in the 6N tournament. Fun, fun, fun. Keep up the great work.
Alexandre Roumat rejoined the team in Marcoussis, and France desperately needs a lineout specialist, so I´d say he´s gonna be on the bench, if not in the starting 15, even though he played for Toulouse at the weekend.
I see you are getting more and more ready for a move to France. 🙂 The Depoortere enigma is seeing him with the 12 jersey at training competing with Moefana when logic calls to use them both like they do in Bordeaux. If Roumat is healthy he will play as the best jumper. You forgot Attisogbé likely starting at 14 without Penaud. Apparently Penaud will be back for England but not Flament.
Think you're being a bit harsh on Colombe. He definitely struggled against NZ at times, but for me, them and South Africa are by far the two best scrums in the world at the minute, he will get an easier time of it in the six nations.
I'm using the auto-generated subtitles... I think you have to work a little on your French pronunciation as the first sentence is auto-translated like this: "Kila France selection Paul pedal" 😂 Love your efforts anyway Tim, keep on the good work
your french is great, and nice T shirt ! le cop sportif , are you supporting France now ? If yes, I can help you to find a cottage near Agen (1 h from bordeaux and 1h from Toulouse )
Actually he said it correctly, "chasseurs d'œufs" is the literal translation of "eggchasers". The prononciation made it sound a bit weird, I'll give you that
I think with Slimani going back the Leinster don’t think that means he’s not playing, think they have to let him back, similar to Ben White, Finn Russell, Blair Kinghorn no? If it’s a foreign country league they play in they don’t get released
Not serious injuries. Flament and Penaud will be back vs England. But in consequence, i almost agree with your starting XV. Roumat will certainly begin at the place of Guillard, as he's a versatile player and a touch specialist. Attisogbé is my fav to to replace Penaud, Gailleton is more useful as sub to cover centre and wing.
At least, some of those injured players will certainly comeback vs. England or a bit later. I think we were not able to play with our Main XV for a while now because of the Top 14 schedule that injure players and ngl as a french fan its getting a bit annoying. I kinda feel sorry for Galthié in this regard because the best solution would be for the Top 14 to become a Top 12 or even a Top 10 and the schedule becoming easier as a result but since he don't have any say in what the LNR does, it ain't going to happen for a while unfortunately.
These injuries worry me a bit. Still, I'll be singing the Marseillaise at the top of my lungs on Friday, unless the same bloody virus should affect me like on the first weekend of the six nations last year. And I'll wear my favourite team's jersey - same as Tim's if I'm not mistaken. Just my soft spot for my western neighbous.
Hi Tim! Salut ça va? I think it’s high time am teaching you French online… I ll give you a good price…😂 That said, keep on your videos BTW, Gailleton s mum is English I believe.
My guess is Brennan starts at 4 because we need more lineout presence, with Guillard on the bench so he can sub in around 55/60 minutes for Meafou and do some destruction work too. And Attissogbe starts at 14, he is top class. Gailleton is a swiss army knife he can play 11 to 14 so better to have him on the bench. Can't wait to see Barassi with the blue jersey. He has been world class in 2024. And I put Roumat and Abadie on the bench instead of Auradou (overated in my opinion) and Jegou who, BY THE F*CKING WAY, are both waiting for the Argentinian justice to give a final decision about their "case" on the 11th of Feb. The staff could have waited a little bit more before calling them in the squad ...
You got a couple of spots wrong: Roumat will start at 4 as he's the most reliable line-out option and has a lot of credit with the staff,; Attisogbe will start at 14, just like he did against Japan in November when Penaud was not available. Since Barassi will start at 13, Gailleton will be on the bench. And by the way, I think you're a bit cocky about England's prospects for this tournament, considering what we've seen in November and in the Champions cup so far 😂
As a French man, I have a lot of respect for how competitive this Borthwick England could become, and one would be such a fool to write them off in Twickenham.
I think people are getting very critical and disparaging of Wales. Yes they will lose to France. However, suggesting that France need their big guns back for England but not Wales is viewing this current England team through rose tinted glasses. Wales have nothing to lose and could well turn England over in Cardiff. Are England that good that they can afford to rest their top players for Wales?
I have to say - that XV still looks like one that would absolutely tonk England. In the meantime, we’ll all just have to tell each other about Flament’s history at fly half for Loughborough 5s 😞
French squad strong enough to cope with most injuries withoit weakening the team noticeably with one major exception - no, not Dupont, but Thibauld Flament. Neither Toulouse nor France is ever as good without him although both can cope without Dupont, N'Tamak or even Ramos. Flament is the true unsung hero. (Roumat will have to come back to cover lineout I think.)
No no no Roumat will play at number 4 and Guillard will be on the bench. He is a great player btw Guillard - careful what you wish for. Roumat is a legend in the air.
Aïe aïe aïe, ouille, ouille ouille, bobo, a fé poum ! Paf!, Bam! Badaboum! Learn some French quickly with French Rugby ! Well done for speaking our unspeakable language Tim ! Allez les "bleus"
Keep going on about England like they are a world strength team....rose tinted ?? How'd they do the last 3 years. .3rd, 4th, 3rd and only won 5 games last year was it??? At least us Welsh know when we r in the shit
Croque monsieur has nothingvto do with that, even figuratively or second degree, it's just ignorant.. try to inform yourself when using a foreign languages.. it sucks..
![Can Wales do it? [6 Nations] France vs Wales Preview](/img/n.gif)
Thump up for a nice effort to speak French ! I like the title as well!
Tim this is insane! J’aime ce que vous faites et je respecte la passion et les connaissances que vous avez pour le rugby ! Tim, tu es une légende !
C'est la première fois que je regarde une de vos vidéos et je dois dire que je suis impressionné par votre amour sincère du jeu qui ignore totalement les querelles partisanes : vous regrettez les absences de certains joueurs plus intensément que beaucoup de supporters français, un état d'esprit qui fait réellement plaisir.
Still think France have so many players in waiting. The depth in this team is immensely good.
Great title. Rumours in france day Roumat at 4 and , Barassi at center, Attisogbe at 14 with gailleton on the bench ( as he can play wing and center ) and le garrec coming in. Dont worry this team is good , very good. The young guys were involved in the win over NZ.
French fan here. Thanks Tim. On Penaud I read in one of the French site that he needs a week rest due to an injury on a toe.
Even this, my friends, is a team that would beat the Springboks Friday.
Great work, sir.
As usual a great video.
As a french supporter I'm looking forward this tournament hoping a french victory ✌🏻
The top 14 and the champions cup need so much energy that we are always missing great players...😢

@@jerrybuirski2344 Galthié should rather follow Rassie's method of buying referees.
I think it’s gonna be Roumat in the second row with Manny Meafou (or even Joshy Brennan )
Sans soucis.....
Regardez la profondeur du groupe ❤...
Même les U20 les tapent tous.😊
Bonjour de Guyane.
T’es un passionné TIM 🎉bravo 👏.
loving the french bits ! merci monsieur pour cette touche :)
That French intro was on point, Tim.😂
au point...
France has insane depth, as a bok fan I'm hoping they win the championship either them or Scotland
merci mon pot
Another great video! Maybe you can do a Q&A? Would like to hear your thoughts on:
The best club and international game you ever seen live and on tv?
Controversial takes?
Most hated team e.g wales
Where you see the club game in 5 years?
If you could change 1 rule what would it be? Etc etc
Possible bolters for the lions?
I love your french ! Yes bad news for us but we'll do without, we have good reserve!
Cheers Tim. Another quality vlog. Better than anything the overpriced subscription channels have to offer.
Fantasy Teams being revisited.
I feel Penaud being out might at least save Wales from a genuinely embarrassing pasting… (Hope he’s back soon!)
Otherwise, solid selection. I think Roumat might be back now he’s shown at Toulouse he’s back fit and playing well.
A pun to be proud of!.. crocked monsieur 👌😆
(But wishing them all a speedy recovery)
Oh man this is crazy , PENAUD WAS IN SUCH GOOD FORM 😱
But it’s just for the opening round.. Will be back after
Roumat will start at 4 with Guillard on the bench who is the only one who covers the tighhead lock
Attisogbe will start at 14
For the injuries :
Flament is out 2 weeks probably will come back for the England game or the 3rd game
Penaud is out only 1 week so he be back soon !
And for Fickou/Tatafu they will probably be back for the 3/4 game of the tournament
Roumat to start would make a lot of sense.
@ it’s the lastest rumors and Roumat played with Toulouse the last 30 min of the game this weekend at lock
Merci Tim . That French second row is a bit of a worry now .
On verra ! Allez les bleus
the reporting coming out of the French press is that Flament and Penaud should both be back and available for the England game!
Boooo
That is still a strong French team. Dupont and 22 other players.
at 14, probably Théo Atissogbe. He was Penaud's replacement in autumn series before getting injured too
L'opportunitè c'est fucking enorme.
Mais peut-etre que vous etes contents...
Moi je ne suis pas contents.
A la ronan o Gara
J'entraîne le meilleur équipe du monde, fucking montre moi!
Here's a mission for you Tim-at the end of the 6 Nations. Pick a Lions 23-man match day squad for Australia that includes French and Italian players-based on their form in the 6N tournament. Fun, fun, fun. Keep up the great work.
Personally cant argue with Tims picks for his starting XV
Surely Attissogbé in at 14 for penaud?
Evening Tim,
You going to drop a pre 6 nations Lions 23?? Be interesting to see how they go, and what your 23 is post tournament 👍 cheers man
Alexandre Roumat rejoined the team in Marcoussis, and France desperately needs a lineout specialist, so I´d say he´s gonna be on the bench, if not in the starting 15, even though he played for Toulouse at the weekend.
LOL, loved the 'Crocked Monsieurs' . Might go for one later.
I see you are getting more and more ready for a move to France. 🙂 The Depoortere enigma is seeing him with the 12 jersey at training competing with Moefana when logic calls to use them both like they do in Bordeaux.

I'm using the auto-generated subtitles...
I think you have to work a little on your French pronunciation as the first sentence is auto-translated like this: "Kila France selection Paul pedal" 😂
Love your efforts anyway Tim, keep on the good work
Penaud is out only for wales and then he’s gonna be back for England. That’s what some French rugby journalists said today.
Not even gonna watch this but gave it a like and a comment for the title.
Why?
your french is great, and nice T shirt ! le cop sportif , are you supporting France now ? If yes, I can help you to find a cottage near Agen (1 h from bordeaux and 1h from Toulouse )
Penaud has a small toe injury they say, should be back and available for playing rugby as soon as this Friday, so ready for Twickenam my dears
Your French is getting better every week Tim 🎉 but you did say “ Egg shoes 👞 “ instead of “hunters” 😅 sorry I know the words a very similar in french
Actually he said it correctly, "chasseurs d'œufs" is the literal translation of "eggchasers". The prononciation made it sound a bit weird, I'll give you that
I think with Slimani going back the Leinster don’t think that means he’s not playing, think they have to let him back, similar to Ben White, Finn Russell, Blair Kinghorn no? If it’s a foreign country league they play in they don’t get released

Assitogbe has played for Pau this week-end...
At least, some of those injured players will certainly comeback vs. England or a bit later. I think we were not able to play with our Main XV for a while now because of the Top 14 schedule that injure players and ngl as a french fan its getting a bit annoying.

appetite whetted et merci d'ici, où on dirait Chasseurs d'Oeufs... sha-'sir!' deux... superbe!!
Best Pod title of 2025 and we are still in Jan.🤣🤣❤
Agreed, lovely title😀
"Bonjour et bienvenue au chaussure d'oeuf" 😅
je crois que c'était chasseurs prononcé à l'anglaise
Crocked monsieurs 🤣🤣🤣. Normally your mate Rich at Rugby Analyst is the king of puns in his video titles/thumbnails, but that is strong work 💪🏻
Wait.. Mickaël Guillard wasn't even on the first list of 42 players....
he first wasn't, until he was
Hi Tim!
Salut ça va?
I think it’s high time am teaching you French online…
I ll give you a good price…😂
That said, keep on your videos
BTW, Gailleton s mum is English I believe.
Thibault flamment mon joueur préféré 😢😢🇨🇵
With the video title I thought I was on Rich's channel!!
tim eggshoes is a great name. love it
I bet on Roumat being the 23rd and Galthié will give us a 7-1 Split. And if we really need it , Mauvaka can probably be a center =p
Boudehent can too.
My guess is Brennan starts at 4 because we need more lineout presence, with Guillard on the bench so he can sub in around 55/60 minutes for Meafou and do some destruction work too.
And Attissogbe starts at 14, he is top class. Gailleton is a swiss army knife he can play 11 to 14 so better to have him on the bench.

Definitely a squad for one game.

the last inside tell that Atissogbe will start and gailleton on the bench

Wales have nothing to lose and could well turn England over in Cardiff. Are England that good that they can afford to rest their top players for Wales?
I agree
Moefana can play 14. Galtier did that a couple of times already.
You mean chasseurs d'oeufs. You said chaussures d'oeufs. That means egg shoes
meafand flamou are magic
Croque Monsieur with egg = croque Madame 👍😅
I have to say - that XV still looks like one that would absolutely tonk England.
In the meantime, we’ll all just have to tell each other about Flament’s history at fly half for Loughborough 5s 😞
I tell all my French friends this, they think im lying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you HAVE to say that?
Love the french thumbnail headline, not so much the manc french !
French squad strong enough to cope with most injuries withoit weakening the team noticeably with one major exception - no, not Dupont, but Thibauld Flament. Neither Toulouse nor France is ever as good without him although both can cope without Dupont, N'Tamak or even Ramos. Flament is the true unsung hero. (Roumat will have to come back to cover lineout I think.)
Alexandre Roumat=4 + Théo Attisogbe=14+ Émilien Gailleton to replacement 1 back during the match.
c'est pas mal comme composition...
No no no Roumat will play at number 4 and Guillard will be on the bench. He is a great player btw Guillard - careful what you wish for. Roumat is a legend in the air.
Chasseurs d'oeufs, pas chaussures d'oeufs 😂😂
Some pedantic sod was always bound to point out that the plural of monsieur is messieurs.
spotty dog)
Top 14 + Champions cup = player crusher.
Too much very physical game. Players deal often with injuries..
Wales still have a “chat en enfers” chance of avoiding an absolute shoeing ….(cat in hells…)
The title 😂😂😂
That's what happens when you take out your stress of losing quarter finals loss on to The Sharks
Roumat in 4 and attisogbe in 14 😉
Aïe aïe aïe, ouille, ouille ouille, bobo, a fé poum !
Paf!, Bam! Badaboum!
Learn some French quickly with French Rugby !
Well done for speaking our unspeakable language Tim !
Allez les "bleus"
NOSTRADAMUS ;)
France can pick the worst top 14 team atm, and they will still defeat Wales.
Sorry Tim, but cannot forgive you for pronouncing debut without the Kiwi accent.
Flament will be back for Italy
Are you sure?
Ahah bonjour monsieur 😂
Poulier petoits maintenent peileur lez neune. Buggered if I know Janner! He don't sound Breton t'me.
Writing off Wales at your peril.
Keep going on about England like they are a world strength team....rose tinted ?? How'd they do the last 3 years. .3rd, 4th, 3rd and only won 5 games last year was it??? At least us Welsh know when we r in the shit
Allez les bleus
I was slightly confused by the title but then I realized that autocorrect must have omitted the m from m6n….
haha!
Croque monsieur has nothingvto do with that, even figuratively or second degree, it's just ignorant.. try to inform yourself when using a foreign languages.. it sucks..
Excuses already
Your French is appalling - you said ‘chaussure d’oeuf’ (egg shoe) instead of ‘chasseur’ (egg chaser)… Stick to English!
Your French is getting better every week Tim 🎉 but you did say “ Egg shoes 👞 “ instead of “hunters” 😅 sorry I know the words a very similar in french
