2003: Winners

Almost definitely. Winners last year and feeling confident this time around. Although only 60 percent of the team are returning, the addition of Sadourny could make a huge difference. Expected to take responsibility for the backs, he will be the source of much of the Gallic flair that could well set the tournament alight.
