Brian O'Driscoll, the legendary Irish rugby player, expressed his surprise at the poor performance of France in the opening match of the 2024 Six Nations tournament. Despite being the favorites, France lost 38-17 to Ireland and O'Driscoll struggled to understand their lackluster attack. He felt that Ireland had a clear game plan and was able to rebuild when things went wrong, while France seemed to rely too heavily on key players like Antoine Dupont and Romain Ntamack. O'Driscoll also questioned the coaching and structure of the French team, suggesting that someone like Andy Farrell could unlock their true potential.
