Inspired by the adventurous French squad named for the 2020 Six Nations, here is my take on the most French XV of all time. From 9-15 and then 1-8, it is:
Fouroux, Trinh-Duc, E Ntamack, Sella, Bastareaud, Bernat-Salles, Blanco
Cholley, Paco, Paparemborde, Estève, Benazzi, Rives, Harinordoquy, Picamoles
