The prolific extremes Louis Bielle-Barrey and Damian Penaud records records, and kicking Thomas Ramos Its objective is to convert as many as possible for a side of France that has its mojo back after a painful defeat against England.

But overcoming the record of points of England in 2001 is a remote possibility, even more without Scrumhalf injured Antoine Dupont.

Here is a look at the records that could be broken:

Catch it if you can

Bielle-Barrey’s scorching rhythm on the left wing has helped seven attempts in four games. The 21 -year -old needs two more against Scotland to become the head of record in the 142 years of tournament history.

The record is eight per Cyril Lowe of England in 1914 and Ian Smith of Scotland in 1925 when the tournament was the five nations.

Has scored seven consecutive evidence in a French record, and has 17 international attempts of 18 tests.

Will Penaud surpass Blanco?

The right extreme Damian Penaud, who also plays with Bielle-Barrey in Bordeaux Bègles, needs one try to overcome Serge Blanco and be alone as the best scorer of Try Male in France. They are in 38.

Penoud would probably have arrived there for now, but the defeat of 43 points of Wales was lost due to an injury to the foot of the foot, and the defeat of 73 points in Italy after being abandonment After his match below the pair in the defeat against England.

Penaud has 38 in 55 games compared to 93 games for Blanco, who was also A decent kicker. Blanco placed 22 penalties, six conversions and two goals as one of the best fullbacks of the game.

Vincent Clerc, who has become an expert in the game, was third in the France list with 34 attempts followed by the extreme Philippe Saint-André (32) and the prominent center Philippe Sella (30).

Ramos has Michalak in sight

Ramos is also a skilled fullback and a strong corridor, but he is better known for the precision of the dead eyes of his kick. Direct the tournament with 51 points.

Two sanctions and a conversion against Scotland will be enough to make it the top scorer of all time in France because it only needs seven points.

Ramos is six behind the silky Flyhalf of Frédéric Michalak in the total of 436 points. Versatile Christophe Lamaison (380) is the third in general and Scrumhalf Dimitri Yachvili (373) is fourth in the French scoring graphics.

Since Ramos is 29 years old, he potentially has many years left to move well with everyone.

The team of coach Fabien Gallthié began the tournament swarming all the unfortunate Wales 43-0 With seven attempts at Stade de France.

France lost England 26-25 to death in a match plagued with clumsy driving errors that cost at least three attempts. The French recovered with 11 attempts in a 73-24 record Supply of Italy in Stadio Olympic.

France was ruthless against Ireland in Dublin last Saturday, also ran in five attempts in a 42-27 Victoria Despite playing for 50 minutes without your Superstar Dupont.

Can France overcome England?

Directed by the great Flyhalf Jonny Wilkinson, England won the 2001 title with a large difference of +149 points, and that includes losing the last game against Ireland.

France has a positive 106 differenceWhich means that you need to hammer the Scots by a margin of 44 points on Saturday.

A record victory would be the perfect way for France to ensure its first title since 2022.
